So where's all the FReeper discussion of Abramoff this morning? NOWHERE!
Just decided to go slumming in FRuitcakeland for posts concerning Jack Abramoff to see what the Kool-Aid Kids are saying.

Guess what?

Did a page search on Abramoff. Nothing.

Did a page search for Tom DeLay. One hit -- nothing to do with the culture of corruption or Abramoff.

Are their immoderators censoring -- or do they fear that discussion of the DeLay-Abramoff Axis of Russkie Cash might cause "Scanner"-style head explosions?

5. They Really Are Fruitcakes
I had a long discussion with a friend who had happened upon another discussion forum, where he told me he had found the most twisted rational he had ever seen before. I told him it was all a government experiment, and he said he was more willing to accept that as a possibility than a bunch of dweebs really suckering each other into supporting a dictatorship.

7. I wonder if there are any ties between JimRob and Abramoff's circle?
Can anyone cast a little light on the subject?

Nah. Sorry. I'll stop hoping now.

10. They also aren't talking about the delay for DeLay
So I guess they think it is okay to delay Congress reconvening until Jan 31 so DeLay can have time to settle his legal problems. :crazy:

11. The good news is that there will be more in 2006.
None of us guessed that Bush's cronies would have such a rough year in 2005. I am sure that there will be more of them caught in 2006. It all depends on the pressure put on them by the Democrats in the house and senate. It also depends on how much pressure we put on our congress men and women.

12. I read something a week or so ago with them saying that it's a good thing
he gave to Dems too (and of course assuming the feds were after Democratic politicians....keep in mind many of those loons also thought Joe Wilson would be indicted!). Unfortunatley I can't post anymore to correct them.

14. Certain FReepers (i.e. Elle Bee and Doug from Upland) ARE crooks
The former is a crooked ex-union thug, the latter, whom was lovingly dubbed "Thug from Upland" some time ago, stalked Susan Estrich, used eBay in a scamming operation, and even threatened Alan Dershowitz.

And to think, these thugs tried to cast Andy Stephenson as some kind of crook.

15. Still silence on the Abramoff front. They fear the truth.
And the loss of at least half a dozen key Congressional wingnuts. Yea, there is wailing and gnashing of teeth...
