I'm sick and tired of the Right's pius attitudes about their crooked law makers. If any Democrat is involved in breaking the law, they too should be subjected to the same fate.
Where is the outrage they exhibited when Clinton was caught lying? Where is your disgust for dozens & dozens of examples of this idiot president,wiping his feet on our Constitution?

Again, great job of reporting, Brian! I used the link to view the amounts of the contributions Abramoff made to his "clients," and I felt as if I were looking at a price list for "the best legislators money can buy." This speaks volumes as to what politicians' values are today!

The law is no different for anyone and because you hold a political position that represents power this should not exemplify a reason to conduct yourself any differently.

It’s a pity this is what we have regardless of the political parties involved in this article. We are human’s and we all make mistakes but, these were the decisions they made and clearly new was wrong and now have to pay the price for those choices. Their sworn oath is to uphold the law, not abolish it so all of these wrongs would make a right, possible in hopes the law would be changed for them, and no penalty would be render.

Thank you ABC and Brian representing the media mainstream as it should be, honest and to the point, not allowing your editorial pieces to be dictated too, controlled by any political party or other means of power. You provide clear, precise, and accurate information which is exactly what the world should receive, therefore, I will stay in tune for your future commentaries regarding this subject and all transcribes reported.

God Bless

This does not look good:
House Speaker Dennis Hastert is the No.1 individual recipient of money from Abramoff and his clients, with a total of $68,300 contributed to his campaign committee and leadership PAC from 1998 to 2004.

Hopefully, the GOP will return to being a party for true conservatives... not corporate-fascists.

Even Ed Rollins thinks it is time for Bush to go.

Hastert is my congressman and I will use the phrase he used about giving the government the right to listen and track my phone, e-mail and Internet traffic, if your not guilty why should you need the constitution to protect you. What is he hiding?
Where are the conservative values we have been voting for the last six years?

Disappointed Conservative

I hope it's about time for there to be a follow-up to this article.

"It's not because of fate, it's because of Tequila" That may be the best thing I have ever read in my whole life!
