The good news is that a well respected and widely read newspaper has finallllly labeled the Abramoff scandal as largely Republican---not once, but repeatedly and without pussyfooting.
The not-so-good news is that it's the International Herald Tribune, which most Americans don't read.

Here are a few paragraphs from a January 12th IHT article:

Abramoff is a hustling Hollywood native whose charm, flamboyant deal-making and readiness to bend or break rules propelled him first to a K Street pinnacle and probably next will lead him to jail. The spreading scandal that now bears his name, and which primarily affects Republicans, yielded a new victim this week: a top lobbying firm, the Alexander Strategy Group.

While Republicans note that Abramoff has Democratic entanglements, too, his far greater involvement with Republicans means that it is the majority party that sees most to fear.

Norah O'Donnell said that the scandal engulfs both republicans and democrats equally. Yes she SAID this on Hardball.

3. A newspaper actually setting the record straight in America?

What a novel idea.

4. More correctly phrased, it has set the record straight *about* America...

I believe IHT publishing is headquartered in Paris, France.
