BREAKING: Genius media whore still tying Abramoff to Dems. (The Hill 10/3)
Abramoff and lobbyists formerly working under him at Greenberg Traurig claimed meeting with 24 senators, 19 House members and more than 100 aides — at least 20 of them Democratic — on behalf of the Saginaw Chippewa tribe of Michigan...


Among the victories Abramoff’s team claimed was securing an objection by now-Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) to a bill by Sen. Debbie Stabenow (D-Mich.) that would have allowed another Michigan tribe to open a casino potentially harmful to the Chippewas’ gambling operation.


...Tim Russert pointed out that about one-third of Abramoff clients’ political donations went to Democrats.

New shit hits the fan so Elana Schor, apparent Puke whore, digs up old talking points to pin it on the Dems. Her Abramoff article is not about Bush or Rove or Iraq; it's about the Dems! She's naming names!

Nice work, Elana!

4. I had to take a break man. Went out and hung signs for anti-war
candidate Herb Paine. He's running against Shadey Shadegg in AZ. Did Shadegg get any Abramoff money? I know that the smarmy Hayworthless did, and he's proud of the fact that "he's not giving it back!" Fucking freak. I'm pooped.
