The Dems did it, too?
With the Republican efforts to define the Abramoff corruption as covering both sides of the aisle clearly failing, and Abramoff likely to start talking next week, suddenly this new "scandal" on "gift limits" just happens to pop up implicating alot of Dems?
In example, Nancy Pelosi, a very public Dem is mentioned in this article. The total involved in her "corruption?" $505. Hardly the $1,000,000 Delay is reported to have received in one payment from one source for one piece of legislation. (WaPo yesterday)
If this person is a true and honest whistleblower, I take my hat off, but I don't know.
With the timing, circumstance, and minor nature of this, it smells a little fishy to me. Sounds like the Repubs are trying a refined version of their old theme, "Clinton did it too," to try to buy some political cover before the Abramoff hits the fan.

The dems did it too...
I catch C-Span's call-in program most mornings and I am amused by the Bush-lovers who continue to gloss over the enormous blunders and intentional devious legislative initiatives of his party and his administration with the oh-so childish phrase [in sing-song melody]
'they did it too!'
