4. Here is what he said on AAR yesterday. He told the truth on FOX.
"Dean: Because Abramoff has "some" clients who independently gave money to people like Reid and Dorgan because they're in their district. People give money to politicians for a variety of reasons. One, they're directed to for quid pro quo which is what Abramoff has pleaded guilty to. That's corrupt.

The other is they support who they like. Just like you and I would give a hundred dollars or a thousand dollars if we could afford it to a candidate whom we like. So the Indian tribes who gave money to Reid or Dorgan are giving to them because they like what they do.

Now it has nothing to do with Abramoff. As I've said before there's not any evidence whatsoever that Jack Abramoff directed a dime to any Democrat. We checked through every FEC report he did not give a dime to any Democrat. Gave thousands of dollars to Republicans. This is a Republican finance scandal. "
