And Bush pardoned Cheney already, too. Cheney keeps BOTH of them in his man-sized safe, in Cheney’s White House office.

And that would pissed off his buddies such as Rove and DeLay since DeLay is still indicted and Rove is being investigated for his crimes. Bush is in the pickle to choose who will pardon before he leaves office and that is an "if." We don't what else will be exposed between now and the end of the idiot's term in office that could alter his plans. Tomorrow is a promissory note.

If Bush pardons Abramoff, when he leaves office, it would be so much worse than Clinton's pardon of Marc Rich. I guess that's the pattern of this Administration - crucifying Clinton for relatively minor infractions, while getting away with destroying the country. I'm a supporter of Obama because I truly love his message of change and hope, but sometimes I feel that there's nothing that could clean up this partisanship and corruption. I hope I'm wrong about that. #2 – not to quibble, but just for clarification, Jack Abramoff is Jewish.

No coincedence that any and all possible Abramoff convictions (money laundering, gifts, bribery, etc) that connect to either the WH or the GOP are still "being investigated" and Jack is "still cooperating." The only thing he was convicted for this far was the SunCruz deal, which was his own shady thing that had nothing to do with the GOP.
