Like I said, guilty of knowing his name. I read a very interesting WaPo article on it and what was fascinating was that they went out of their way to make connections and to obscure when connections weren't there. To wit:

A quarter of a million dollars was donated over two years by the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians, Abramoff's largest lobbying client, which counted DeLay as an ally in fighting legislation allowing the taxation of its gambling revenue.
"Was donated," but not to DeLay and "counted DeLay as an ally" but again, no connection to the money that wasn't given. Very duplicitous.

To put it bluntly, DeLay seemed to know what the line was and never crossed it, it was Abramoff who was doing all of the money shuffling and putting up the false fronts. In retrospect, it should have been clear that Abramoff was slimy, but otherwise, DeLay's guilt is apparently in knowing Abramoff's name.

US Family Network. Very good start. But don't stop there! Look up Alexander Strategy Group, too!
