It will be interesting to hear Jack Abramoff's story if he does decide to plead and testify especially after so many of his underlings and associates have already decided to do so.  Most news reports have rightly noted that this could be a big blow to the Republican establishment in D.C. although I'm sure at some point any Democratic lawmaker that happened to stand next to Mr. Abramoff at a Capitol Hill urinal will probably be implicated as well.   

Although the media will ultimately abdicate its watchdog title and opt for a safe but distorted "pox on both houses" type of story, Josh Marshall, who has done an amazing job of covering this over the last year, directs our attention to the fact that every single person indicted in relation to Jack Abramoff's activities has been a Republican, and almost all have strong ties to Tom Delay's political machine.  If you were to look at a chart of those with direct connections to Jack Abramoff's Indian Casino scam it is virtually all Delay or Norquist associates, and that's just the Indian Casino scam.  What is so scary about pointing out the obvious?
