McCain protects Guv from Abramoff bribe scandal

[medeak]

gee...looky what came up in wikepedia for Jack Abramoff:

Protection of Alabama Gov. Bob Riley by John McCain
As chair of the Indian Affairs Committee, Senator John McCain had access to an email detailing what Abramoff wanted Alabama Governor Bob Riley to do in return for campaign contributions from Abramoff's tribal clients. McCain, however, withheld the email from his report on the Abramoff scandals

1. No one will care.

Not the media.
Not Democrats.
No one.

Too bad.

You can send it to FAIR.
They might look into it.

2. in the old days

this shit would be emailed to every damn news source..

[NattPang]

3. Well. yes.

But we only protest our own.
And we only passively discuss
the media omissions.
And we don't do anything
to actively attack
the opposition.

It's a pretty neat package, right there.

7. You know who might like this bit of information?

Dam Abrams. He did good reporting on the Siegelman case (good for him, any way). It might be something he could use to follow up on.

:hi:

9. can you help me?

[EFerrari]

10. Okay! Will do!

[medeak]

11. just read huffpo on the Siegelman connection

holy shit! batwoman!

[EFerrari]

12. Exactly. And for a while, Rove kept asking why he would have been

interested enough to do something like that. He stopped asking because the answer is too easy. Abramoff.

13. DNC issued statement on Mc Cain's favors
