HELENA - Under scrutiny for his dealings with former lobbyist Jack Abramoff, U.S. Sen. Conrad Burns, R-Mont., lashed out this week at Abramoff and suggestions that the senator did favors for Abramoff clients.

Burns, 70, who is up for re-election in 2006, told a Kalispell television station Wednesday that he wished Abramoff had never been born.

"This Abramoff guy is a bad guy," Burns told KAJ television in Kalispell. "And he's indicted, and I hope he goes to jail and we never see him again. I wish he'd never been born to be right honest with you. Because he's done a terrible, terrible thing to our Native American community."

Burns' office also released a letter to U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales dated Nov. 28, after The Wall Street Journal and The Washington Post reported that the senator was one of four lawmakers caught up in a Justice Department investigation into Abramoff. The newspapers cited anonymous sources.

1. He's just bitter

He can't get any more free trips or dinners. The more I hear about Abramoff the happier I get.

I think this is going to make DeLay's problem with money laundering look like a parking ticket.
