Abramoff Plea Bargain

Oh, this is gonna be so juicy, the NYTimes is reporting that the Abramoff plea deal could involve him supplying evidence against, "at least a dozen lawmakers and their former staff members, many of whom worked closely on legislation with Mr. Abramoff and accepted gifts and favors from him."

While not as serious as the Plame case in the big picture, the Abramoff investigation should make for much better TV.

Bribes, lavish trips, false "children's" charities, extravagant gifts, with maybe a dozen different sets of lawyers all trying to leak to help their clients. And to top it off, the defendants will be people whose natural instinct is to try to talk their way out of trouble(not like the Plame folks who try to scheme,) so we should get years of good TV out of this one.

Oh, and if the Brent Wilkes, MZM, thing happens to be tied in, we may get to hear about the Washington "hospitality suites" staffed by several young women. And there's also that little matter of the Sun Cruz mob style hit that Abramoff's partner may have ordered.

Not as important as Plame, but probably more fun to watch.
