Hey this is almost the same as the Delay mess.


Except Delay's in big trouble, Dan. Felony trouble.

Ten years in the slammer trouble. All his buddies who
were sucking up to him now are noplace to be found.

The only trouble is for the republicans, Delay knows
where all the bodies are buried, and he will do anything
to cut a deal with the prosecution.

There's a lot of trouble going on, like the coingate guy,
and the guy in california - he was an ex-navy pilot I think.
That guy cut a deal with the prosecution too, he was wearing
a wire for quite some time.

There's a lot of sweating going on because all this stuff
is prosecutable and Delay will be feeding the prosecution
details so he can save his own hide. All the guys he
implicates will be republicans.

Howard Dean in Abramoff Cash Fib

Democratic National Committee chairman Howard Dean denied on Sunday
that any Democrats had taken money from lobbyist Jack Abramoff, even
though several top Dems - including Sen. Hillary Clinton - have
already announced they were giving their tainted Abramoff cash to
charity.

That little detail didn't faze Dean, however - who insisted with a
straight face to CNN's Wolf Blitzer:

"There are no Democrats who took money from Jack Abramoff, not one,
not one single Democrat. Every person named in this scandal is a
Republican. Every person under investigation is a Republican. Every
person indicted is a Republican.

Dean continued: "This is a Republican finance scandal. There is no
evidence that Jack Abramoff ever gave any Democrat any money. And
we've looked through all of those FEC reports to make sure that's
true."

Last week, Sen. Clinton's office announced that she would be donating
$2,000 of her Abramoff jackpot to charity. The Republican National
Committee says she took a total of $12,900 in Abramoff-linked cash.

Other Democrats who have pledged to return tainted donations include
Sens. Tim Johnson and Barbara Mikulski - as well as leading House
Democrat Charles Rangel.
The aim of untold millions is to be free to do exactly as they choose
and for someone else to pay when things go wrong.

In the past few decades, a peculiar and distinctive psychology
has emerged in England. Gone are the civility, sturdy independence,
and admirable stoicism that carried the English through the war years
.. It has been replaced by a constant whine of excuses, complaints,
and special pleading. The collapse of the British character has been
as swift and complete as the collapse of British power.
