wtf? Jack Abramoff leaves Federal Court in a Dick Tracy outfit!
In bad boy black color no less....



Jack Abramoff, center, leaves Federal Court in Washington Tuesday, Jan. 3, 2006. The once-powerful lobbyist pleaded guilty Tuesday to federal charges of conspiracy, tax evasion and mail fraud, agreeing to cooperate with prosecutors investigating influence peddling that has threatened powerful members of the U.S. Congress. At right is his attorney Abbe Lowell. (AP Photo/Gerald Herbert)

4. Theyre probably
letting him have time to turn himself in so he can handle personal stuff and whatnot. The dude will get some years for this, it just wont start now.

33. He won't be sentenced
until he finishes telling the prosecuter everything he wants to know and that might take a while.

10. Well, if he follows the lead
of the other indicted corporate crooks, he'll "rediscover" his spirituality and wear it like a cloak during his sentencing. So, you're probably onto something here.

16. What a phony: asking for "redemption" & "forgiveness from the Almighty"
Now he pretends to be a "good" Christian. Action speaks louder than words, Jack.

Is this is a ploy to get a pardon from Dumbya and to get the religious right on his side?

He isn't that, either.

19. Let's get the fashion police after him too
The guy has a huge potbelly from eating too high on the hog. With a gut like that, he should never weigh a belted coat. It just accents his fat. You have to wonder how long a soft body like that is going to last in the federal pen.

24. I wonder what a ballistic nylon overcoat costs.
Edited on Tue Jan-03-06 04:55 PM by TahitiNut
It must have inside pockets for ceramic plates. :shrug: Abramoff isn't that bulky and his attorney doesn't seem cold without an overcoat. The fedora is a nice Capone-like touch.

38. Kinda like Michael Jackson's court costumes: But more Nazi-like.
I mean, really, can't you see a few swastika's and eagles on that collar?
Let's get a good photoshopper to work on this, pronto.
