1. Notice only dems on important committees were "targeted" by

Abramoff.
Still they all need to get a good ass-whippin.

2. Any of them who are guilty of quid-pro-quo should be presecuted!

I'm ashamed of the Dems associated with this, and if they are guilty, fry them in the same pot with the Pubs!

3. GOP had them spend 30% as "insurance protection money" to Dems?

Money to Dems using excuses like the school construction interests of the tribes.

And the Washington Post says "bipartisan"?

Does the Washington Post do anything other than frame the news as ordered by the GOP?

6. "Bipartisan" was my word, not the WP's. After I looked at the graphic...

the thing that stood out was the emphasis on the involvement of both Republicans and Dems. I think we need much more detailed information to assess the kind of involvement both parties had in this scandal.
