The dirty money is what was laundered through the tribes, which isn't fully traceable or even regularly reported. And didn't Howard (the Scream) Dean say on the Today Show that the Dems didn't receive any money directly from Abramoff but from the tribes and thus, were pure as the driven snow????

IIRC, he said that they didn't know that Abarmoff had anything to do with it. Wallace hammered him pretty good on this point and Dean gave 5 or 6 different (and contradictory) versions of his answer. "We didn't receive any" became "we didn't know" became "no one can prove," or something like that, until finally he said that any Democrats who did take money should be punished. Pick a point of view. Howard provided you any and all possible responses.

Howard Dean, a man for all reasons.
