Did Washington wives benefit from Abramoff?

"But now, investigators want to know if Abramoff was also trying to win influence with the spouses of congressmen in what investigators privately call the wives' club."

"DeLay's attorney confirms to MSNBC that Christine DeLay worked for a lobbying firm run by former DeLay staffers with close ties to Jack Abramoff. That firm, the Alexander Strategy Group, hired Christine DeLay and paid her $115,000 over three years to perform a special project, contacting members of Congress to find out their favorite charity."

'Back-door' bribery! This is the REAL scandal! Laudering bribes via family and friends. Dems are guilty of this as well. (RE: Daschle's lobbyist wife!)

I doubt we'll see any reform outta this issue. Too many fingers in the pie.

1. Please give some details about Daschle's wife. You made an accusation

now please provide some proof, other then the fact Daschle's wife is a lobbyist (I think for airlines).

Or should politicians not be allowed to marry whom they please.

Would it bother you if Daschle married a lobbyist for the ACLU?

2. I've been waiting for some added information from our friend

but I guess he doesn't indeed have any, and just wanted to throw a little shit around.
