bump for later read.
ABRAMOFF'S DELAWARE CONNECTION: The names of Delaware Sens Joe Biden (of Judiciary anti-Alito fame) and Tom Carper surfaced on lists of federal lawmakers who received money, from the ubiquitous super-lobbyist Jack Abramoff at the center of the largest ever public corruption involving Congress and its staff members.
In brief, Abramoff and his cronies, including his aide, former Rehoboth Beach, Del lifeguard Mike Scanlon, ripped off Indian tribes seeking federal gambling licenses by playing them off each other and charging both sides millions for legal services. Carper showed up on a list produced by the nonpartisan Center for Responsive Politics, which has so far tracked almost $4.5 million in contributions to some 240 lawmakers. Carper's staff found about $7,000 in campaign money linked to Abramoff, which the senator first thought he'd keep because he's never met Abramoff or his partners.
Biden received only $1,250 (that we know of), which was a straight-up individual campaign contribution. The Biden money came from one of 1,500 lawyers -- yes, that's one thousand five hundred, a scary number -- who work at Greenberg Traurig LLP, Abramoff's old law firm. G-T LLP has offices in London, Amsterdam, Atlanta, Brussels, Chicago, New York, Zurich, Los Angeles. And, of course, Wilmington, Del.
Here's how to follow through:

Deanie Weenies!
Oh my! How will Dean try and spin this now? A secret plot by Karl Rove to set up these dems? :)
Dam, I hope they don't figure out he's working for us!
Dean was trying to put on a brave front on FNS but Chris Wallace nailed him.
I've known for a while that both my Democratic Senators took Abramoff money, but to see this list makes my day!
oh, when do silly little things like facts bother democrats?
Good post (as I'm sure you are aware, the Dems are clinging to the fact that neither Jack nor his wife PERSONALLY gave them money - of course, the "scandal" is not about those contributions, but they type you posted - which is why Chris Matthews keeps referring to it as "bi-partisan", further enraging the DUmmies ; )
