The BIG FIX 2006:

Is Abramoff getting away with murder?

Jan 4 2006--Venice,FL.

Tom DeLay's on trial, Randy Cunningham's going to jail, the Republican Party is mired in corruption and cronyism, Sun Cruz Casino “Mob Boy” Adam Kidan's already cut a deal, and Jack Abramoff’s plea agreement with federal prosecutors is expected to result in the biggest Congressional housecleaning in decades…

Yet, appearances to the contrary, “The Big Fix 2006” may already be in on the Republican big money scandals.

Despite the drumbeat of new revelations (like the Desperate Housewives of Congressional Republicans pulling down six-figure incomes for duties which are the very definition of ‘vague’), in the silent newsnights before Christmas it began to become apparent that once again something was going horribly, terribly, wrong…

The sight of neo-con greedheads and faux Christian leaders littering the landscape like recently-sodomized sugar plum fairies (paging Ralph Reed, white courtesy phone) may everywhere be warming the hearts of men and women of good will.

“Casino Jack” Abramoff and minion Adam Kidan just may be about to get away with murder.

1. That's why they call it a Plea "Bargain."

I worry that the prosecution is selling itself too short here. They could grab this guy by the neck and squeeze him for all he's worth. Unfortunately, I'm not sure they're gonna get it all.

2. How many of the prosecuters have ties to the Republican Party?

3. He may be literally getting away with murder (for hire)

It appears that a casino speculation deal in Florida that went poorly ended with Abramoff's opponent dying in a hit-like execution and the muscle that did the deed had been hired by Abramoff and his partner as bodyguards and catering staff.... A little fishy, if you ask me.

4. And they even paid the hit men by check!

6. The culture of corruption...

...in Florida and Miami is huge news. I was watching C-SPAN last night on Jack Abramoff, what a whitewash. This story is obviously bigger then Watergate.

My guess is they are hiding-- a vault full of Nazi gold-- that funded the Repukes 2000 and 2004 elections.
