Democrats Benefited from Abramoff Contributions, Too By Melanie Hunter CNSNews.com Senior Editor January 05, 2006 (CNSNews.com) - The National Republican Senatorial Committee said Wednesday that 40 of 45 members of the Senate Democrat Caucus have taken money from lobbyist Jack Abramoff, his associates and Indian tribe clients. Abramoff pled guilty Tuesday to conspiracy, fraud and tax evasion. He also plans to implicate a number of U.S. lawmakers and congressional staffers in a bribery scandal. Among those named by the NRSC as the worst examples of "Democrat hypocrisy" for taking money from Abramoff and his associates are: Sen. Byron Dorgan, (D-N.D.) who received at least $79,300; Sen. Tom Harkin (D-Iowa), who received at least $45,750; Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.), who received at least $68,941 and Sen. Debbie Stabenow (D-Mich.), who received at least $6,250. Dorgan is among the lawmakers who have already returned campaign donations or given those donations to charity.

I wish I had watched it. LETTERMAN VS. O'REILLY By ADAM BUCKMAN -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- January 5, 2006 -- TV funnyman David Letterman traded punches with Fox News Channel yakmeister Bill O'Reilly on CBS's "Late Show" Tuesday night — taking O'Reilly to task for supporting the Iraq war in an acrimonious exchange that departed from the usual lovefest between the gap-toothed host and his guests. The normally easygoing Letterman stunned O'Reilly — and viewers — when he got into the bruising back-and-forth that stood in contrast to the usual late-night comedy chit-chat. "I have a feeling that 60 percent of what you say is crap," Letterman blasted as they argued about... nypost.com
