Different Kind of Scandal "searing political impact" (Sorry- Dick Morris)

Different Kind of Scandal
Dick Morris looks at the polls and concludes the public's reaction to the Jack Abramoff scandal is unlike most other Washington scandals. "Because this scandal is both partisan and local it will have a searing political impact. Nor should the recipients of Abramoff’s dubious generosity dismiss their acceptance of his donations by saying it doesn’t matter because everybody took his money."

"Those who did get contributions from him are in for an Election Day surprise."

"Washington scandals come and go. But, about every decade or so, they metastasize into massive national affairs that embrace an entire political party... The 2006 elections look to be another of these decadal bloodlettings, victimizing, this time, the Republicans."

Man, the GOP must really be in trouble then...

2. He's covering his butt because he got in bed with these people

in the sense of associating with their value systems. Dick is not stupid, just pathetic.

But, yes, the GOP is in trouble (depending on how much they can game the elections).
