Why hasn't anyone begun to question the power of Indian "gaming" interests-including the team of lobbyists, lawyers, and considerably more shady, illegal partners, which serve as advocates for these sovereign casinos-and ask why they are exempt from government oversight?
I can understand the reluctance of politicians-who are bought and paid for, and who've seen the damage these groups can inflict, e.g. the defeat of Slade Gorton, on people who get in their way-but why is the media almost uniformly ignoring this aspect of the story?
Two words.....Indians, minority.
I did read on Powerline Blog that Harry Reid is in the top five of the Abramoff scandal.
