Who cares? What kind of stupid defense is it that "democrats are crooks too" Personally the more crooks they find the happier I will be. Throw them all in the slammer. Perhaps they rat on each other and drag even more in. That would be better yet. Mish

Setting all politics aside, I think this is a good example of poor reporting. Take this AP story: Not everyone's dropping Abramoff's money seattlepi.nwsource.com The story starts with this assertion: "While dozens of lawmakers are dumping contributions from disgraced lobbyist Jack Abramoff and his clients, others including Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid smell no taint and plan to keep the money." So did Reid take money from Abramoff? No. The story itself says "Reid received some $61,000 from tribes that were once Abramoff clients." Big deal. This AP story is terrible.
