I would never close a blog, or an ombudsman blog. But the scandal isn't about Abramoff's personal contributions; it's about his personal contributions AND the contributions he diverted from others--that's the source of at least part of the suspected crimes. The libs just can't handle the truth that their guys are corrupt, and want to squealch the truth with silly obfuscation.
This scandal will sink R and D alike, and it should. Libs and conservatives should be in agreement that all corrupt politicians should be found and dumped. But libs don't care if "their" guy is corrupt, because "their" guys at least oppose the eeeeevil Republicans.
There's a message here for Republicans, too.
I was listening to O'Reilly on the radio the other day and some irate woman called in to demand that he correct himself about stating that both Reps and Dems were involved with Abramoff. O'Reilly cut her off and called her a kool-aid drinker, then read the figures of the top two recipients. Patrick Kennedy of course is the number 2 recipient.
Sometimes O'reilly does get something right.
