Abramhoff Goin' DOWN

And he's taken Congress with him. He's pleaded guilty to three felony charges, and they're addresseing the charges down in Miami connected to the casino boats later. More importantly, he's naming names. According to NPR up to twenty members of congress could be implicated, including Tom DeLay. You can read the very extensive article here. Additionally, you can read about the 1980 Abscam convictions here and here. I'm actually sort of surprised that there's not more, to be honest. I mean, I was only twelve when the indictments were handed down, and I definitely remember it. It was even in Blook County (Milo dressed up as an Arab trying to bribe Senator Thornhump. Awesome.). Anyway, this is huge, and it will be very interesting to see how this unfolds in the coming months. I, of course, am so cynical that I pretty much assume that everyone is corrupt anyway, so it'll be fascinating to see who goes down.
