fessed up?

Talking Points Memo Last month we did a few posts about a guy named Mark Graul, one-time Chief of Staff for Rep. Mark Green (R) of Wisconsin and now his campaign manager as Green runs for Governor. We noted that Graul's name shows up again and again getting tickets to various Abramoff skyboxes back in 2000. (These are from a collection of Team Abramoff emails we received a few months back.)
Graul first denied getting any freebies. But as we published more and more of the emails and the local press started taking notice, he eventually sorta kinda 'fessed up. And he came up with a new line which was basically, tough luck, that's how business is done in Washington.
When asked about the Abramoff freebies, Graul told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel "I believe it's illegal in Madison. It's legal in Washington."
So how many other members of Congress up for election next year were on the Abramoff gravy train?Nice link to the Abramoff Scandal. Green will have trouble refuting all of this.
