This funny little ditty came to light the other day and I thought it was something that would play well for the Republicans, but, again, it might bit them in the rear at the same time it bits the Democrats.
In an on-going investigation, a former congressman, and a criminal or sorts, Duke Cunningham, was persuaded to ware a "wire" for the FBI to get evidence on some congressman, which he did for certain compensations, I'm sure.
He was able to collect incrementing evidence against leading members of congress. It didn't say what side of the aisle these fearless leaders were on, and just what the investigation was about, I'm not sure.
But as it turns out, and funnier still, there appears to be details emerging that connect Cunningham to Abramoff and all of the money that he passed around. Maybe this is why we don't hear a lot about this scandal other than it is Republican culture of corruption.
The fact that 40 out of the 45 Democrats in congress are involved might have something to do with a some-what low profile that the case has in the main stream media right now.
So now we, in the media, don't know how many of the good guys are caught up in this mess so we have to use a little common sense on how much bad ink we spread around.
