Looks like the Abramoff scandal will be going into post-election overtime, with Democrats being implicated. Too bad it didn't come out at the time the Republicans were being castigated over corruption charges. From ABCNEWS:

Sources close to the investigation say Abramoff has provided information on his dealings with and campaign contributions and gifts to "dozens of members of Congress and staff," including what Abramoff has reportedly described as "six to eight seriously corrupt Democratic senators."

No names are given, so one is left to speculate who the six to eight Democratic senators are. That is a significant number of senators. Not to mention the "dozens of members of Congress."

I hope the investigation into the Abramoff scandal continues.

The GOP is always willing to houseclean its own bad apples. Unfortunately, it is up to the voter to get rid of Democrat bad apples like Cynthia McKinney (D-GA) and William Jefferson (D-LA). Cynthia McKinney will not be returning for the next Congress, however, William Jefferson is in a close run-off election against fellow Democrat, Karen Carter.

Perhaps the continued investigation will force Nancy Pelosi to do more than just "talk the talk" when it comes to cleaning up the House of Representatives. And who will clean up the Senate?
