No, the word is "money."

It never ceases to amaze me how far politicians-especially those on Capitol Hill-will go in order to prostitute themselves for campaign contributions.

It incenses me whenever I hear sanctimonious hypocrites like that fat bastard Chollie Rangel or Ted Kennedy's single brain celled sock puppet of a son preen and posture on this issue, framing their naked greed within the rubric of "Native American sovereignity.

A. The number of tribes that benefit from this arrangement is a small minority, and the percentage of Indians that enjoy the fruits of gambling-one of the single worst ways of pursuing economic growth that I can think of-is almost as insignificant.

B. Even those that do profit are giving away most of their financial rewards in kickbacks to lawyers, lobbyists, and the Mob.

This is one of the biggest rackets going, and it astounds me that anyone has the gall to claim it's a "civil rights" issue.
