Here is a graph of who got money from Abramoff

This was posted in another thread by 'Oceansaway' but I felt it needed it's own thread where more people will see it. Please note that as someone pointed out below that this graph is misleading because Republicans got money directly from Abramoff while Democrats got it from groups and many of these transactions could be legal.

Looks like even George Bush got some cash!

1. It's a somewhat misleading graph.

The Repubs got money directly from Abramoff; the Dems got money from groups/tribes linked to Abramoff. Most people, especially bushies, will give this graph only a cursory glance and immediately conclude that Dems are in it up to their eyebrows, too.

The Washington Post is still carrying water for the bush administration.

4. Remember, some of the donations could be legit.

this should be interesting to see how the conservative media spins it into a Democratic scandal.
