The Shitting Of Pants Continues...

Politicians all over the country are in a mad rush to return dirty Abramoff money.

I can't help but picture of bunch of drunken teenagers fleeing into the woods as their all-night kegger is busted up by the cops or a cluster of cockroaches scrambling back into the wall when the lights come on. Party's over.

See this AP story for details- GOP Politicians Dump Abramoff Donations

And this AP story has a full list of who's giving away what- Who Is Giving Away Jack Abramoff's Money?


PS- Conservative NYT columnist David Brooks rips the GOP a new one:

I don't know what's more pathetic, Jack Abramoff's sleaze or Republican paralysis in the face of it. Abramoff walks out of a D.C. courthouse in his pseudo-Hasidic homburg, and all that leading Republicans can do is promise to return his money and remind everyone that some Democrats are involved in the scandal, too.

That's a great G.O.P. talking point: some Democrats are so sleazy, they get involved with the likes of us . . .

. . . Back in the dim recesses of my mind, I remember a party that thought of itself as a reform, or even a revolutionary movement. That party used to be known as the Republican Party. I wonder if it still exists.
