"BTW Abramoff is a good bud of Tom Delay." And ex head of FEMA and is busily locking up contracts in the wake of Katrina for his various clients. Oh yeah, he is implicated in several schemes for fleecing Indian run casinos. Allegedly, he would work with various state legislators to get the casinos shut down and then offer to represent the tribes and lobby to get the casinos opened again...

Abramoff is a good buddy of democrats... washingtonpost.com Among the biggest beneficiaries were Capitol Hill's most powerful Democrats, including Thomas A. Daschle (S.D.) and Harry M. Reid (Nev.), the top two Senate Democrats at the time, Richard A. Gephardt (Mo.), then-leader of the House Democrats, and the two lawmakers in charge of raising funds for their Democratic colleagues in both chambers, according to a Washington Post study. Reid succeeded Daschle as Democratic leader after Daschle lost his Senate seat last November.
