More Dung From Dean
This is hilarious. Why the Dems continue to let this buffoon embarrass them is beyond me. Check out this exchange with CNN's Wolf Blitzer:
BLITZER: Should Democrats who took money from Jack Abramoff, who has now pleaded guilty to bribery charges, among other charges, a Republican lobbyist in Washington, should the Democrat who took money from him give that money to charity or give it back?
DEAN: There are no Democrats who took money from Jack Abramoff, not one, not one single Democrat. Every person named in this scandal is a Republican. Every person under investigation is a Republican. Every person indicted is a Republican. This is a Republican finance scandal. There is no evidence that Jack Abramoff ever gave any Democrat any money. And we've looked through all of those FEC reports to make sure that's true.
BLITZER: But through various Abramoff-related organizations and outfits, a bunch of Democrats did take money that presumably originated with Jack Abramoff.
DEAN: That's not true either. There's no evidence for that either. There is no evidence...
BLITZER: What about Senator Byron Dorgan?
DEAN: Senator Byron Dorgan and some others took money from Indian tribes. They're not agents of Jack Abramoff. There's no evidence that I've seen that Jack Abramoff directed any contributions to Democrats. I know the Republican National Committee would like to get the Democrats involved in this. They're scared. They should be scared. They haven't told the truth. They have misled the American people. And now it appears they're stealing from Indian tribes. The Democrats are not involved in this.
Never mind that Hillary Clinton is donating some of her Abramoff money to charity. Never mind that other Dems who have pledged to return Abramoff money include Tim Johnson, Charles Rangel, and Barbara Mikulski. Good old Dr. Demented, he never disappoints!
HT: The Corner
JAS adds: the grand total Dem Abramoff haul since 2000 was a cool $1.5 million. A little more than half what the Republicans got, but the annual proportion was moving in the Dems' direction.
Once again, the confused physician doth protest too much. Even Dirty Harry told him so.
Wow; when the Barney Fife of American politics chides you for making an ass of yourself, that's really saying something. Pity Chairman How is nuttier than the Four Testicle Society, or he might actually take Senator Pencil-Neck's advice.
