Mind the company you keep
Untangling a Lobbyist's Stake in a Casino Fleet
Tom Delay has certainly kept some interesting company. by the tone of the article, it sounds like Abramoff played Delay like a harp, and it seems that Delay was more than happy to be played. Delay's claims of ignorance are a bit meaningless really. Perhaps he didn't know the full extent of Abramoff's and Kiden's fraud and criminal connections, but he was more than willing to play along in the name of money, and of course a golf outing to Scotland.
here is a helpful graphic that can help you keep track of the players. You wouldn't want to get your House Reps mixed up with the dirty businessmen, or the former house staffers with the mafia, though i know somedays i have a hard time with that.
