The Meat of the Matter

Another Scum Bites the Dust

This is a non-partisan statement. Jack Abramoff was a piece of shit, and he just pled guilty to federal corruption charges. I have mixed emotions. First, it's disgusting that people like this have influence with the United States Congress. His testamony will likely implicate several top-level politicians. On the other hand, I'm glad justice ferreted him out. For a really thorough (and amusing) account of what Jack Abramoff did, read Al Franken's latest boot The Truth (with jokes). That is all.
