A great salary, lots of perks, fantastic medical coverage and a lifetime pension that is a multiple to what most people in America make by working for a living each year.
It's hard to feel sympathy for this guy.
And hopefully the voters in Florida will not only help him raise this money, but money for his re-election as well!

WOW! Major sentence fragment drop, there!
Sorry. It should have read..."And hopefully the voters in Florida will not only NOT help him raise this money, but NOT HELP HIM RAISE money for his re-election as well!"
There. That's better.

What a goofball!! He's probably got deep pockets to begin with......and he's pandering for funds to cover his legal fees. It says there is help from friends & supporters. I hope he doesn't have many. He deserved whatever he got.

What a story of "truth"..this is what is called a "sweet deal" was it trully considered to be wrong, Abrams gave a gift to finance a "golf trip",is it not true that in order for this to be going on it started along time ago with exchange of information, goods, services just like bartering..this is very common in the southern sector because of money not brought in by federal mandates...our institutions have played a equal amount of access due to freedom of exchange...no pun intended against the American way but big money makers always find ways to exchange services due to their intellectual and legal UNDERTAKINGS, which seperates them from the smaller income people...this is a norm in the big jet sets of america..this is why corruption should be traced to the core..very common threads as to how one receives exchange of services, for another exchange of friendship...so it is true that those of us who work for it pay the taxes and the civil liberties to enjoy one's own gain..this has been going on more than these individuals..why do you think lawmakers do not want to be investigated..it is very common amongst alumnis, solidarity, groups of individuals that have a common thread....then again, people who are desperate for money, it is real common with teens and they learn from the streets, people of different incomes, means to get what they need at the expense of another, how do you irredicate this...its played out in almost every profession...those given to not be watched and smell clean, look clean usually aren't if money is fully at their disposal for their intellectual freedoms..I feel sorry for this gent..Abramoff...feds need to dig up the southern corruption..they never liked federal mandates all the way back to JFK...I love the FEDS..do you..They are apt to work diligently to offset the sweet deals tha make profits without feeding the government the share for the events that effect the American people and others throughout the world..if we below the wealthy had their share paid in our country would not be broke or have to have IOU.s these political personnel profit off our losses because they also vote for those who run this country..pay attention to our lawyers too...many of themn is not to protect just the innocent but those who can pay monies to maintian their status quo..ethics..where is it..this too was an American Dream..prove beyond the doubts when one is swindled and they want to get rid of you..make sure that the FBI is fully well-rounded and seek to bring to justice what has been lost..some people trully make ignorant mistakes but that is what should also come into status of the individuals knowledge and abilities to render the truth...I have met too many who take because they were taught its ok..it get bigger...the south has a mafia..Racism..premeditated wrongs for power and greed of money..pay the FBI these gifts to work for the American way and we would not have to concern as to who will turn coats for greed..I feel empathy for this Congressman, why is he helping him, there is more to this story from Florida, to Alabama, to Mississippi, Georga, take a look and trail the mishaps of injustice and corruption, give the FBI more money more means for this government body needs no one who is dedicated to states under the constitution when serving the government of the United States. To love this country is to dedicate oneself to protecting even the weakest link in order to clear a path for justice to be seen for all as a means to correct, and be worthy of a reputable stance in the world..too many errors are caused by this right here at home..bartering and selling goods, to people, how far have we come..I could gain momentum just by being in the circle of derelicts and find that their learning from there own lawmakers they grew up with or daddy's money.. respect for the United States to which we stand..we are so hated throughout the other lands that we never seem to branch in good faith and truth..why! Take a look at the laws to be broken set up by lawmakers to destroy those who break laws non-violent criminals, who destroy themselves because of their actions..punishment would be as to what it takes, what it destroys and to whom it has destroyed...Apache

Our great Sunshine State is full of people who call themselves "politicians" but who should be called "whores". They are after any amount of money and/or power and will serve their masters (of any political or economic persuasion) just like Emperor George serves Daddy and his cronies.

It's too bad it had to come to this, BUT the american people should not overlook the fact that this turkey is only ONE OF MANY who simply have not yet been caught..The past 20 years has seen the US Congress (both houses)in a steep slide into lobbyists pockets, to the point where they roll over like 2-bit whores everytime a lobbyists wants something done.,,Indoboy7.06/29/2007

Are we supposed to sympathize with Representative Feeney? Ohhhhhh poor Mr. Feeney, he didn't know......like hell he didn't know. Anyone who contributes to his legal fundraiser, or for that matter his campaign, is a sucker!! He's a big boy playing with the big boys and he deserves whatever grief he gets for accepting this golf trip. Didn't his momma ever tell him that nothing in life is free?????

So are you saying this country is run or being RUINED by PIMPS and WHORES.
That sounds about right.
