Does anyone know if O'reilly, Rush, or Hannity is tied to Abramoff?

[DanCa]

If just one of these three go down I would be so happy. Hey I can dream right?

1. That's what I was thinking

they all seem to be hooked up in some way.

3. My dream of dreams

Is that this can lead to the investigation of the antichoice crowd and faux news too.

2. Enablers, at the very least.

4. if attacking a subordinate...

with a loofah, and a fallafel, while pleasuring yourself with a vibrator, all the while taking insane amounts of prescription drugs doesn't get em.

maybe this will.

8. Ya gotta give O'Lielly some grudging credit here...

He has humiliated himself six ways from Sunday and continues to go on, well past the point of any buffoonish predecessor. The only one who even compares to him is Morton Downey but even he knew when to quit when he painted that swastika on himself.

Bill O'Reilly...Boldly going where no gasbag fuckwit has gone before...

5. Odds are no, no, and no again.

Why would Abramoff need to buy off the attack dogs? Their fame, their fans, their book deals, their power, and their salaries are their compensation for serving the hive. Bribing them would be like "bribing" Michael Moore to expose Bush. They'd do it bribe or no.

And seriously. If Oxy couldn't kill Rush and Falafels couldn't kill O'Reilly, how could taking some money kill them? They aren't even elected officials, and Abramoff isn't a federal employee, so I don't see the problem here.

6. HI Dongfang Hong welcome to DU

Ah well though it's a nice dream isn't it :D

[Dongfang Hong]

7. A lovely dream.

I'm holding out for coke-ecstasy-viagra-fueled-gay-orgy scandal with those boys also involving Pat Robertson, Dick Cheney, Karl Rove, Jeff Gannon, and Bill Frist.

[Hello_Kitty]

9. And you know it happened!

It's just a matter of getting someone to fess up. Welcome to DU :hi:

[BuyingThyme]

10. Kinda. Faux's Brit Hume and Tony KKK Snow

raised money for one of Abramoff's fake charities (along with Chris Matthews).

That's a start.

[stlsaxman]

13. Get Brit!!!!

Go on, Jack, NAME BRUT HUME!!!!!!

That would make my year!!!!!

11. It's Time To Start Reconnecting Some Dots

Some may remember all the digging people like Walt Starr and several others did during the initial Gannon/Guckert mess and how we started unraveling the intricate Repugnican spin/PR/media machine. While it's not directly controlled, it surely has a lot of common connections and serves common interests. We followed Jeffy to folks like the Eberlys who were very good friends with Rove and DeLay, as well as with Morton Blackwell and his New York tricksters who ran the "journalism school" Gannon "attended" that was taught by staff members for Robert Novak. Interesting links that also crossed into various non-profits and where wives tended to be on several of these non-profit boards or did special work for them and so on. There are a lot of similarities in what we saw there as to what is starting to come forth about Abramoff's activities. I'm hoping all these bodies collide as the money trail runs deep and this scandal rips the big underbelly of the corrupt Repugnican spin machine.

While Faux isn't directly connected, it surely is by association. Many of it's supporters and advertisers also are the big ticket contributors to the Repugnican party. The network surely was a favorite viewing choice of Abramoff, but directly there was no benefit of any relationship. Abramoff's game was purely power and money...not spin. He didn't really have a political agenda, so he had no use for the Faux gas bags...and let folks like Grover and Reed and Rove screw around with 'em.

Now if I recall, Hannity did remote broadcasts from Signatures...Abramoff's restaurant...on several occasions. Now that might be worth some prying.

12. Hannity's the one I would like to see brought down.

I despise him more than any of the others.
