Busted, Burns Backs Out of Birthday Bash with Lobbyists
Earlier today:

Burns celebrating birthday with D.C. lobbyists
WASHINGTON — Sen. Conrad Burns has distanced himself from Jack Abramoff, but that isn’t stopping him from raising money with other Washington lobbyists.

The Republican, who is up for re-election this year, will be celebrating his 71st birthday this month at the lobbying firm Cassidy and Associates, charging political action committees up to $2,000 each to attend.

Now:

Burns moves funds event
WASHINGTON - With ethics becoming an ever hotter campaign issue, Sen. Conrad Burns on Thursday scrapped plans to hold a fundraiser next week at the headquarters of a major lobbying firm here and instead will hold it at the GOP senatorial campaign headquarters.

Mark Baker, Burns' campaign chairman, refused to comment on why the fundraiser was moved.

Typical repuke, when the public finds out what they've been up to, they go slither under a rock and hide!
