Here is the picture I promised earlier of Abramoff leaving the court house after entering his guilty plea. Most people’s entire wardrobes do not cost what his outfit today did. Have fun captioning it.

The deal is done. Abramoff has officially pleaded guilty to a federal court in Washington D.C. and is expected to head to Florida tomorrow to do the same with the charges he is facing there in the Sun Cruz deal. Abramoff pleaded guilty to conspiracy, tax evasion, fraud, and violation of lobbying laws. Reporters described […]

To hear the administration and right wing pundits talk, you would think Iraq was a beautifully rebuilt town with all the services and only occasional attacks. […]
