Tell the investigators they labor in vain

Too late, the public lost it's attention span for this stuff a long time ago, if you had some spicy revelations about Abramoff and some bimbo they probably would be interested.

Today the average voter falls into one of 3 categories: A Dolt, A Bimbo or the all encompasing Dullard. Choose your group or just opt out like several million of your fellow sufferers.

Who Did Abramoff Really Work For ?

Abramoff was well acquainted with Rove. I suppose it COULD be possible that his influence was well established within the neo-con cartel that by then had infiltrated the White House and much of Congress. It would appear that this neo-con agenda has virtually permeated the entire U.S. Govt. structure.....

scary thought, indeed. Thank goodness, their intentions always placed America first.

Mohammed Atta was a guest on the SunCruz gambling boats partially owned by

Jack Abramoff.

It's one of those inconvenient factoids that the mainstream media has to avoid like kryptonite.

So we have our beloved "Arab Terrorists(tm)" upon whom we have hung the responsibility to get us involved in not only the invasion and occupation of Afghanistan but a bonus war of aggression and occupation in Iraq. These perps were shadowed by one of several Israeli spy operations, living in close proximity to the "Arab Terrorists(tm)".

Shall we just all take a deep breath and forget about this coincidence? I'm sure that there's nothing to it. Ha. Ha. Ha. Who wants to know how deep the rabbit hole goes, anyway?

Knowing and not knowing

Remember Mark Rusell's joke about Reagan and Iran/Contra? "The question isn't what did the President know, and when did he know it, the question is what does the president know, and does he know that he knows it?" Given what Scott McClellan has written about Bush and cocaine use, Bush probably believes that he doesn't know Abramoff and never met him.

REALLY ? What A Revelation !

Who's kidding whom ? We are waaaay ahead of you !

You may be certain that Abramoff's "connections" and deals penetrated to the very marrow of the Republican Party at all levels, well beyond the White House, and including many members of the Houses of Congress, especially the House of Reps. And maybe a few Democrats too.

The Republicans in our government have taken the fullest advantage of their long rise to power by converting their party into a criminal organization designed to fill their pockets at taxpayer expense.

Along with Waxman's list provided by Salon, you may start with nearly every Republican member of the House representing Congressional districts in the State of Ohio. Only one of them has been sent to prison, but beginning with Boehner and La Tourette, Waxman has his work cut out for him. It will be a very long haul if the clean-up intends to proceed to a thorough conclusion.
