A Totally Republican Scandal

MSM types like Tweety Bird Chris Matthews and Glenn Reynolds have been struggling to portray the Abramoff business as a bipartisan scandal, repeating their ledes that Dems like Harry Reid and Hillary Clinton received donations from Native-American tribes, some of whom were Jack Abramoff's clients.

It's as if these well paid pundits have absolutely no understanding of the charges in this case.As we all know, these tribes were Abramoff's victims; they are not being charged with doing anything whatsoever wrong, except overpaying Scorpion Jack by about a kajillion dollars.

Democrats were not paid money by Abramoff to encourage them to side with his clients, period. The FEC notes that Jack Abramoff only contributed to Republicans. In any case, if any Democrat ever meant to vote favorably on Indian matters, they were trampled in the Republican stampede to get their choices on the record.
