I don't want to get into a debate with someone as poorly informed as you, Gorgonzilla, but I'll ask you two questions. How was this a shakedown operation? Abramoff never attacked tribes who weren't on the take. Nothing of the sort has ever been alleged. And more importantly, what in Scanlon's plea agreement says, or alludes to any sort of involvement of DeLay? Representative #1, if you didn't know, is Ney, not DeLay, a fact acknowledged by Ney's own lawyer. The quality of this article sucks, as does the quality of this discussion.
