GM's Corner on Abramhoff: "This isn't to say we agree with the media hype that the Abramoff scandal is of 'historic proportions.' That's true only if your 'history' starts around 1994, after Jim Wright sold his 'book' in bulk to the Teamsters, after Tony Coelho of 'Honest Graft' fame, after Abscam, the Keating Five, Clark Clifford and BCCI, and any number of other famous episodes of Capitol Hill sleaze. Mr. Abramoff and his pals are stock Beltway characters."

Good to remember how, under Clinton, graft was NOT much prosecuted, but it IS under Bush.
