Dean Calls on Bush to Return Abramoff Campaign Cash

Washington, DC - Today, GOP super-lobbyist and Tom DeLay confidante
Jack Abramoff pleaded guilty to federal charges of fraud and tax
evasion, "clearing the way for him to cooperate in a massive
government investigation of influence peddling involving members of
Congress," according to the Associated Press. Post, 1/3/06] Abramoff, who was designated a "Pioneer" by President
Bush's re-election campaign in 2004, raised more than $100,000 for
President Bush.

In light of Abramoff's guilty plea to three federal criminal charges,
Democratic National Committee Howard Dean renewed his call for President
Bush to return the more than $100,000 that the scandal-plagued lobbyist
raised for his re-election campaign:

"Now that Jack Abramoff has pleaded guilty to three federal criminal
charges, I again call on President Bush to return the more than $100,000
raised for his re-election campaign by the former Republican
super-lobbyist and Delay confidante. Jack Abramoff is an example of the
abuse of power and culture of corruption that the Republicans have
brought to Washington. As such, President Bush should have no hesitation
about immediately returning the funds that Abramoff raised for his
re-election."

5. Bush has $100,000 in the console of his Escalade
But he won't return a penny of it. To do so would be to admit he did something wrong. Bushie don't play dat.
