WASHINGTON - The plea deal worked out by Jack Abramoff could send seismic waves across the political landscape in this congressional election year. The Republicans, who control Congress and the White House, are likely to take the biggest hits.

The GOP has more seats to lose and has closer ties with the former lobbyist. But some Democrats with links to Abramoff and his associates are also expected to be snagged in the influence-peddling net.

While the full dimensions of the corruption probe are not yet clear, some political consultants and analysts are already comparing its damage potential to the 1992 House banking scandal that led to the retirement or ouster of 77 lawmakers.

"You don't have to be a political genius to sniff the smell of blood in the water," said GOP consultant Rich Galen.

1. That's so cool but of course they had to mention Dems too

"But..but...some Dems are going to be caught up in toooooooo!!" :eyes:

[roguevalley]

7. name them if they exist. Any dem who DIRECTLY took money

from this a-hole deserves to be caught. I would love to see Lieberman's paperwork. I can hope, can't I?

10. I don't have to. Already saw that kiss on his cheek at State of Union.

That's SURE a sign of pay-off to me.

2. How ironic

""You don't have to be a political genius to sniff the smell of blood in the water," said GOP consultant Rich Galen."


Ole fang tooth knows the smell of blood. He's got the teeth of a vampire. :puke:

[AtomicKitten]

6. and the smell of urine

The GOP must be scared to death of the upcoming indictment festival. Hubris only carries one so far.

3. What is it they say on ESPN during that segment with the big hits?

Oh yeah: "The GOP? They got JACKED UP!!!"

16. Well, that old SportsCenter guy, Keith Olbermann, said tonight

"He must go down and he must go down hard...but he won't go down alone!"

4. Could he have picked a worse outfit to wear to court ???

He looks all dolled up like John F'n Gotti.

Is he trying to look like a crook ?????

[Arkana]

5. I thought the exact same thing

I said "Is he trying to look like John Dillinger? Cause it's REAL hard to tell the difference."

14. Actually, when I saw the pictures of "Fat Jack" earlier,

he reminded me of Al "Scarface" Capone with one exception.

Capone's hat was light colored, not black, in any of the "googled" photos I found this afternoon.

Abrahamoff gives me the creeps, big time. YUCK!!!!

[OneTwentyoNine]

11. Yeah or Capone himself,great outfit.......n't

[tinfoilinfor2005]

8. I sure hope he doesn't end up being a victim of "suicide"...

How well can he be protected in these circumstances?

[unblock]

9. stands to reason. you don't bribe the OUT party.

nevermind that the banana republican party is all about corruption to being with. the mere fact that they're in the driver's seat means THAT'S WHO YOU BRIBE.

what good is bribing a democrat who can't get anything passed in this climate?

[f-bush]

12. MSM Has to cover their butts

The Main Stream Media has to cover their ass. Most big networks and papers are owned by GOP friendly outfits. Can't have all the bad news fall on the repukes now, can we?

[Bonhomme Richard]

13. Doesn't look like a lobbyist to me. He looks like a double agent. n/t

[Jai4WKC08]

18. Looks to me like someone

Who just found a horse's head between his sheets.

Yuck.

[OneTwentyoNine]

15. Hope that golf outing was worth what Bubba has planned one evening!!

Har!!
