This is Jack Abramoff. Look closely, children, because this face is the one that will bring down Republican control of Congress this year and the Presidency in 2008. Can you say President Clinton again?
In what's shaping up to be an enormous - possibly the biggest ever - case of corruption in DC, Mr. Abramoff pled guilty to numerous charges including corruption of government officials and bribery. He also agreed to cooperate with prosecutors. Can you hear thousands of sphincters in DC simultaneously loosening? Of particular note is this article and especially this article from Forbes.
Oh, the head-rolling and ass covering haven't even begun. What's beautiful about Republicans in power is that they inevitably are their own downfall. The power-hunger and hubris would put the early Greek and Roman playwrights to shame. Let the bastards burn. It's going to be quite a show.
