Somebody is in big twouble...


Lobbyist Jack Abramoff a friend of that incorruptible pillar of society Tom Delay just plead guilty to conspiracy, mail fraud and tax evasion charges. He's also agreed to cooperate with prosecutors as part of his deal. Yup people he is ready to point fingers, show pictures and name names, he says he can name up to 20 congressman, yikes!

To quote my little sister back in her toddler days, “Oooh somebody gonna be in big twouble!!" Abramoff is the central figure in what could become the biggest congressional corruption scandal in generations. In an amazing coincidence House Speaker J. Dennis Hastert (R-Ill.) announced that he will donate to charity the tens of thousands of dollars that he has received from Abramoff's Indian tribe clients. Gee I wonder why? I’m sure it had nothing to do with Abramoff directing millions of dollars in Indian gambling proceeds to favored lawmakers.
