Keep repeating this bastard’s ties to Abramoff every day all the way through to the elections. And if he still gets voted in, then the voters of Colorado will certainly get what they deserve.

Abramoff Story Lives On

Just when it seemed that Washington had moved on to more recent scandals like the D.C. Madam trial or the indictment of Rep. Rick Renzi (R-Ariz.), an old chestnut — the Jack Abramoff scandal — has come back to life.

The tale of the disgraced lobbyist and his congressional partners in crime (some alleged, some convicted) had appeared to be dormant, until Colorado’s open’seat Senate race returned it to the media radar. That contest pits Rep. Mark Udall (D) against ex-Rep. Bob Schaffer (R), and its Schaffer’s alleged ties to Abramoff that have become a key issue in the campaign. [...]

But the interesting part to Capitol Briefing is how the Abramoff scandal is still managing to get its tentacles into new targets in 2008, more than four years after the story broke. And for what it’s worth, the Justice Department appears to be still slogging along in its investigation of the Abramoff matter, meaning Schaffer may not be the last member under the microscope.
