So Whittington is James Baker's brother-in-law

[sandnsea]

An "acquaintance". Suuuure.

Armstrong is a lobbyist for Baker Botts. Baker Botts is representing Michael Scanlon, Abramoff's partner.

But they don't know Jack. Like Whittington is an "acquaintance".

Armstrong won't release who she lobbied for, but it was clients in S Korea. Abramoff has some S Korea clients too.

They were out on the ranch, conniving new ways to rob the country, drinking and shooting up farm animals, and one of them got shot. Boohoo.

I've gone from mildly amused to thoroughly disgusted.

2. Anyone thinks any of these people give a damn

about the American working class?

Their interests are corporate, politcal, and money oriented.

9. Very scary

But that's what it's always been about, the control for the few vs. the needs of the many.
