Profiles In Sleaze: The Jack Abramoff Story

The WaPo ran a billion word profile on Jack Abramoff today that is informative but breaks no news on Abramoff.

However, the profile does reveal the dark inner workings of the modern GOP mind in Washington.  Check out this tirade from Rep. Dana Rohrabacher (R-Mars) defending Abramoff:

"I think he's been dealt a bad hand and the worst, rawest deal I've ever seen in my life. Words like bribery are being used to describe things that happened every day in Washington and are not bribes."

Clearly, Mr. Rohrabacher has been a member of the Republican Caucus for so long that he can longer distinguish right from wrong.
