Associated Press Harry Reid apology story says both parties ensnared in Abramoff Scandal

Thu Jan 19, 2006 at 08:38:31 PM PDT

I thought that Dems didn't get any Abramoff money.  But now Harry Reid apologizes.  And in the Associated Press article where I saw this, I see this:  "The Abramoff investigation threatens to ensnare at least a half dozen members of Congress of both parties and Bush administration officials."  WTF?  Is this a lie again, or do they know something we don't?  Consider the WaPo blog shutdown too.  Perhaps the beltway insiders know more this time?

UPDATE - the assertion that Democrats are also ensnared in the scandal is at the end of the article I linked. 2nd to last paragraph. Don't be so quick to dismiss this as GOP spin. Is it possible that Abramoff has trapped some Dems in the complicated web of money?

Flame away.

UPDATE #2.. I think maybe we should go after the AP? Email them with righteous indignation? Or what should we do? Sigh and go back to Survivor?
