This is a well written, well documented account revealing the scope of the Jack Abramoff lobbying scandal. It appears to have not reached the "Americans for Tax Reform", the group headed by conservative activist Grover Norquist who has been so active fighting for elemination of inheritance tax. Americans who like "who done it's" will have fun following this case which is beginning to encompass all of K street and half of Congress.

These are welcome details about the methods of corruption for this government. While the story clearly details connections between the Republican election machine and it's affiliated non-profits, I'd like to see stories like this exposing the same parts in the Democrat's machine. By itself, this story could be portrayed as partison (it's not). If the same spotlight were shown on all of Congress, it would show just how corrupt the entire system is.
