sooo many scandals
and no score card.... how do we keep track of it all?

Questions: Is the Abramoff-Delay scandal(s) too complicated for average American to follow? If yes, will this actually help GOPers because people won't really know the extent of the corruption?

As more and more information emerges, there are more and more ties, twists, turns and dots. I tried several times to come up with a way to show connections between all the players - but the resulting graphic ended up looking like a "brazillion" ( :wink: ) cats had attacked a yarn factory.

We could go to a deck of playing cards format - but how many decks will we need to properly depict the slimeballs?

mmmm..maybe trading cards? Pics on the front - and a list of connections on the back? Color coded symbols to show who's who and who's connected to who for which part of the scandal?

1. Tom DeLay's House of Scandal
What a tangled web we weave...

Here's a link to a graphic that I use to try to keep up with all the 'Values Party' scandals:

It's centered around The Hamper, but Abramoff is included. I think all this is connected anyway.

2. I planned on this when Bush came into office.
First of all my sister kept saying that she knew men like Bush and they always leave a pile of shit behind them for some one to clean up so I had that in my mind. Second Bush him self has shown a history of bad deeds in his own dealing, which he got away with, I guess because his father was so powerful and every one knew it so they knew he would not do a thing. He would have like people around him. The crooks always like to pay off the cops if they can. We all know that. I have said it all alone we will need years to find out who took our money.
