Today's New York Times' headline concerning the breaking news regarding the scandal surrounding lobbyist, Jack Abramoff, was this little gem:
"GOP Lobbyist Pleads Guilty In Deal With Prosecutors."
Clearly, the headline implies that Abramoff was a predominately Republican backer. Oh, but wait here are a list of some of his other "clients:"
Thomas A. Daschle (former D-S.D.)
Harry M. Reid (D-Nev.)
Richard A. Gephardt (D-Mo.)
Tom Harkin (D-IA)
Those are and were some very big names within the Democratic party. So, spare me the "GOP lobbyist"tag, there is plenty of blame to go around for both parties.
However, watch as the Democrats turns this scandal into a high profile campaign issue. Let the hypocrisy ensue.
