The Abramoff Scandal... May soon become the DeLay scandal:

[kpete]

As investigators get closer to Abramoff, they may also get closer to DeLay, said Craig McDonald, director of Texans for Public Justice, an Austin-based group that has called for a special prosecutor to investigate DeLay.

"It's likely that Abramoff has lots of dirt on Tom DeLay," McDonald said. "The further Abramoff sinks into trouble, the more likely he is to start pitching that dirt."

DeLay, 58, who once called the lobbyist "one of my closest friends" and went on an Abramoff-sponsored trip to Scotland in 2000, stepped down as House majority leader after being indicted in September in an unrelated campaign-finance case in Texas.

I'm shocked.

4. The way things are going lately ...

... with one scandal after another now surfacing, the GOP presidential nominee in 2008 will be narrowed down to the three or four unindicted Republicans left standing.

[NanceGreggs]

10. That's why DIEBOLD execs ...

5. John Gotti once said:

"Sammy "The Bull" Gravano is one of my closest friends."
And the similarities continue to mount.
