the Abramoff scandal?
From the start, we have had those in the media suggest that this is a "bi-partisan" scandal. It was expected to be that way from right-wing talk radio, but there isn't much difference from the corporate media. This morning, Brian Lamb of C-SPAN, intentionally or not, tried to make the issue about "lobbyists" only. He made no distinction between those that accepted bribes and those that did not.
The politicians, both Parties, have been mostly silent about it. True, most of them have been on vacation. I suppose it is natural not to want to piss off those folks you have to work with on a daily basis? But, I get the feeling they are trying to deflate this story as rapidly as they possibly can?
