WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid called the Republican-led Congress "the most corrupt in history" on Sunday, and distanced himself from lobbyist Jack Abramoff, at the center of an escalating probe.

"Don't lump me in with Jack Abramoff. This is a Republican scandal," Reid told Fox News Sunday, saying he never received any money from Abramoff.

Reid, like many members of Congress, Democrats and Republicans, has received campaign contributions from Abramoff clients. Some lawmakers have returned those donations, but Reid gave no indication he would do so.

A Reid aide later explained that the senator received money from a political action committee affiliated with a firm where Abramoff had worked, but Abramoff did not contribute to it.

"I feel totally at ease that I haven't done anything that is even close to being wrong," Reid said.

All one had to do is look at Bush's history and one knew he would drag it in with him. Then one party in power helps more. These people who always bend the laws just like to have the same type around them.

I'm not impressed Reid --

you let a bunch of right wing judges in without a whimper --

and Reid's voting record says otherwise.

I look at his actions -- not what he says.

He is an enemy of women -- he votes against women's interest.
