I know it's a little dated, but PLEASE read this in order to get a clearer perspective of this situation with Abramoff, etc.

Interesting read. It certainly looks as if Abrahamoff and some of his associates were involved in one degree or another with mobsters.

There are some interesting connections with Rep. Bob Ney of Ohio.

Tom DeLay's name is repeatedly mentioned in passing, but there is little or nothing to suggest that he had anything whatever to do with these activities. Abrahamoff had dealings with just about every politician in Washington, so why is only DeLay mentioned in this connection? So DeLay played golf with him? I imagine Abrahamoff played golf with everyone in Washington.

The work on the figures directly concerned with the Florida gambling cruise line and the murder of its former owner is interesting, but it is disturbing that the Weekly Standard would use this to attack DeLay. Why is DeLay connected to these activities any more than the hundreds of other politicians Abrahamoff worked with?

Very interesting. I wonder if this will really be on Average Joe Voter's mind this year though. Depends on how much the MSM pushes the story (which of course depends how involved Abramoff was with Democrats. No involvement with Dems, big story, equal or greater involvement, we'll hardly hear a peep about Abramoff).

Amazing. I read about 2/3 of this just now at the gym. Sure kinda looks like DeLay is in the thick of this one. What a bunch of dirtbags.
