| The next shoe to drop? |
Even with the war on the table, the really big scandal of the Bush II years might yet be the broad-based ethics probe centering around Jack Abramoff and former publisher Conrad Black, both of whom are heavily tied into the architects of the Republican Revolution of the mid-1990s (people like Ralph Reed and Grover Norquist), begging the question: was the revolution really about ideals, or was it about raking in huge amounts of cash...? RawStory has the WSJ particulars on the Abramoff scandal, which is now apparently sucking four GOP congressmen into the vortex: Rep. Bob Ney of Ohio, Rep. John Doolittle from California, Sen. Conrad Burns of Montana and our old friend Tom DeLay.
U.S. News and World Report says the Abramoff scandal could suck in as many as a dozen members of Congres who are being "scrutinized by a small army of federal prosecutors and FBI agents..."
The South Florida Sun-Sentinel has more on the hit on Gus Boulis, the Fort Lauderdale tycoon who became mixed up with Abramoff and who lost his SunCruz Casino business to the lobbyist with the help of Congressman Ney...
More on Conrad Black, neocon, here...
