Abramoff's Democratic contributions
In the "One Word" section under "Hypocricy" Democrats have been salivating over the scandal and subsequent guilty plea of lobbyist Jack Abramoff. They hope that their Republican counterparts will be bogged down with corruption (or at least guilt by association) while Democrats claim the moral high ground. Not so fast, however. According to a document released by the National Republican Senatorial Committee, 40 of the 45 Democrats in the Senate have taken money from Abramoff, his associates and clients. Even Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid has received nearly $70,000 from the dubious sources. It would appear that the "culture of corruption" derided by House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi has a little more "bipartisan support" than many Democrats would like. Posted by: Bobby 2006-01-06 |
