I just watched a doc on Abramoff? Sickened! One of the best documentaries I have ever watched. They did a timeline while quoting emails through the whole story. ABSOLUTELY FVCKING SICKENING! The shit going on in Congress is out of control.
For those of you not familiar with the story. Abramhoff was a special interest lobbyist. He managed to bury a vote on anti-net gambling once (Yes, this makes him a good guy right?WRONG.) Then he and a complex network of donations which acted as bribes to Congressmen absolutely fleeced some tribe casinos.
Many speculate that Abramoff is only one of many doing this. If your Congressman takes a junket trip somewhere nice, it's probably being paid for with special interest money. An expert also noted that he felf Congress is totally lost to corruption right now and needs to be shut down and started over. After watching this doc, I'm voting Dem. across the board just to enter some new blood.
Thomas Lay quote (or something close to it) as he took his mug shot: "It is my hopes that the people see Jesus when they view this photo." |
