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 ; )
Well .. Abramoff was registered as a Republican. I would therefore presume he would donate personally to repubs. That's not a crime .. and that money is actually not what the issue is.
The issue is the tribes who donated to congress people who voted a certain way in order to get those donations.
In that regard, the dems are in it up to their eyeballs.
