"The contributions to Mr. Dorgan are part of $700,000 in contributions that Republicans say have been made to Senate Democrats by Mr. Abramoff, his Indian tribe clients and his associates. Those contributions counter a Democrat charge that Republicans are fostering a culture of corruption." Ok, let's get this straight. From 1999 through 2004, Abramoff spread out $3.41 million in Republican hands and $1.88 million in Democratic ones. And this makes the Democrats equally guilty? washingtonpost.com What isn't on the graph is the trips, tickets to the skybox, the free meals in the restraurant, the suite with several bedrooms for "private use" by Congresscritters, etc. which were even more disproportionately given to Republicans. But again, let us jail them all. Guilt by association, and the details are so confused we probably won't be able to sort it all out.
