“I liked him, frankly, because he was a partisan, conservative Republican activist.†What is with the past tense. Abramoff, will still be around, ratting on his partisan, conservative Republican activist buddies. More reason to like the guy.
Doolittle is preparing his defense. It’s the “Of course I accepted money, tickets, etc. from someone who is just like me!” defense. Here is a portion of his response to the charges of conflict of interest.
“I think the system’s working,” said Doolittle, whose comments came in a prerecorded interview broadcast Monday on Sacramento talk radio station KFBK-AM. “This kind of a scandal is a big scandal because it doesn’t happen very often. It’s quite extraordinary.”
Doolittle disputed reports, including by The Associated Press, that he is among the handful of lawmakers whose ties to Abramoff are being examined by federal investigators. He said he has never been contacted by them.
“If there’s any truth to that, then come investigate me, come contact me because I know what the truth is and I’ll come out with a clean record,” Doolittle said.
Doolittle accepted campaign money from Abramoff and used the lobbyist’s luxury sports box in the MCI Center, home of the NBA’s Washington Wizards, for a fundraiser without initially reporting it. Doolittle’s wife and one of his former aides also worked for the lobbyist.
The fact that he paid good money for Repug votes didn’t hurt either. YET! It is time for somebody on the ship to call out “Ahoy the dock! Standby for ram!” The horns of that dilemma are getting shorter by the day.
Jacks just letting his old buddies(aka gang of crooks ) that he’ll do a data dump in the media not the DOJ ig he can’t get his get out of jail free card from king george.
“Partisan, conservative republican activist”

close to honest!
Stop the presses!
That had to be out of context. Or his lie-o-meter is out of whack. I like Jack A. because he walks well, and wears a stupid hat.
January 24th, 2006 at 2:58 pmThat’s not possible.
“Partisan, conservative republican activists†don’t give money to liberal Democrats. There must be some mistake. Let’s ask Tweety.
January 24th, 2006 at 3:01 pmYou’ve got to give credit where credit is due. Give that man props for being honest when it doesn’t look good.

Even the master of spin….er, no spin admits the truth. What’s the world coming to when Bill O’Reilly can stoop so low as to make an honest statement?

Hannity is a Nazi sympathizer. No joke.
January 24th, 2006 at 3:47 pm9- The fact that there is so much corruption just shows the system is working. You just have to admire that kind of logic.

January 24th, 2006 at 4:39 pmHow so would ABRAMOFF ever qualify as Conservative?
Is it just me or when these people say ‘Conservative’ they mean just the opposite?
January 24th, 2006 at 8:08 pmI think clif is right, Delay and Abramoff are holding Info on the other crooks. 60 of them.
