Absolutely hilarious, Abramoff's wingnut crookery is know a matter of National Security. You just can't make this stuff up. Many questions storm the mind as to how Abramoff's visits involved Secret Service secrets. Maybe that creepy outfit Abramoff wore to court was his "double super secret" spy uniform? Or maybe Abramoff was undercover when he bilked the Indian Tribes out of millions. Think of it, it's perfect, Abram was secretly sniffing out any possible terra plots by those shifty Injun's while picking up a few bucks in the progress. It's all Goviment money anyway, so no harm no foul.
Pathetic no longer describes the Bush administration. I'm not sure any word in the English language does.
