Wow.
"EXCLUSIVE: BUSH RECOUNT COMMITTEE STILL OWES MORE THAN $320,000 TO ABRAMOFF'S FORMER FIRM FOR WORK DURING 2000 RECOUNT... 3:45 PM..."
Bradblog has this to say:
"In the first of several reports from RAW STORY on an expansion of the widening fundraising morass currently plaguing Republican House Majority Leader, Tom DeLay, the Whitehouse itself is now being named as a major beneficiary of Jack Abramoff's lobbying firm in dollar numbers that dwarf anything DeLay has so far been tied to!!!"
Now let's wait and see and constantly hit the refresh button at rawstory.com, we all know they sometimes overuse caps to make a story more interesting :) Please let this be of implication, I pray to God. Most likely, BUSH-CHENEY will just write a cheque and this story is toast :(
Now if you're like "Who the f... is Abramoff", here's a short introduction.
[Edit]: The article is now online.
As a corporation, Greenberg’s unpaid tab represents a massive in-kind campaign contribution, far larger than anything that went unreported by DeLay. But it appears to be legal: corporations are allowed to donate any amount to the nebulous type of committee employed during the recount. It would, however, violate the committee's self-imposed $5,000 contribution limit from individual donors.
Could anyone elaborate the possible consequences? It looks like Greenberg's company just bought influence by ignoring an outstanding (fake?) bill.
