Many great timelines/analysis of Plamegate. Anything similar for Abramoff

[NAO]

There were many fantastic resources on the Plamegate material. Summary Overviews, Detailed Timelines, Who-is-Connected-to-Who-and-by-what diagrams, etc.

The Abramoff/Delay/Scanlon/Reed/(insert name of corrupt GOP operative here) scandal(s) are wide ranging and involve more parties and more crimes than Plamegate. I'd love to understand what has happened here but this is BIG and COMPLEX mass of interlocking scandals. Has anyone digested this material and put together crib notes for this big ethical mushroom cloud over the RNC?

Please provide any links or resources.

3. Thanks. That one's great. I love the auto-letter generators.

And the cast helps make some sense of it.

5. Has anyone pieced together the Ralph Reed connection into Abramoff

and how the Christian Coalition got suckered into paying money to Abramoff, who considered them to be "wackos" and a source of cheap votes to be exploited by running ads on Christian radio stations.

The Scanlon Memo has the most potential to be explosive as anything I have seen coming out of all the scandals of the past year. Christians are already so touchy and have this persecution complex that I think they would just blow a gasket if they knew they had been coldly manipulated and used by Republican Operatives who considered them to be wackos.
