Sell-Outs

Jack in the Box

From the Washington Post

Jack Abramoff represented the most flamboyant and extreme example of a brand of influence trading that flourished after the Republican takeover of the House of Representatives 11 years ago.

Now, some GOP strategists fear that the fallout from his case could affect the party's efforts to keep control in the November midterm elections.

From the Wall Street Journal:

It remains unclear which lawmakers prosecutors are looking at, and also how persuasive Mr. Abramoff could be in helping to make potential cases against any of them stick. A onetime chairman of College Republicans -- a close ally of such party luminaries as Tom DeLay, Ralph Reed and Grover Norquist -- Mr. Abramoff says he has information that could implicate 60 lawmakers.

You sold-out the Revolution. For what, box seats, golf junkets, and oh, reelection dollars.

Now go back where you came from -- selling used cars, pest control and earning a working wage of $28k a year with a mortgage and kids in braces.
