He Don’t Know Jack
I’m sure that’s what dear old Tom DeLay would love to be able to claim, but in fact, he and Jack Abramoff are pretty tight. The Ethics Void known as DeLay must be a little nervous that the man who convinced the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians to donate $25,000 to the National Center for Public Policy Research, which then paid for DeLay’s golf trip to Britain, has now been indicted in an unrelated scam, charged with five counts of wire fraud and one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and mail fraud. See, the thing is, either of those charges could garner Abramoff up to five years in prison and a $250,000 dollar fine. Now I don’t know Jack Abramoff from a hole in DeLay’s head, but the thing is, slimy corporate types have this tendency to sing when there’s a boot pressed against their throats. It seems to me like DeLay better start praying that his pal Jack can’t carry a tune.
