Abramoff faces a maximum sentence of 30 years, but under the terms of the plea deal it will be reduced to between 9 1/2 and 11 years. The sentence could be reduced even further if Abramoff cooperates fully, a Justice Department official said.

30 -------> probably less than 9 in a country club. Probably won't have to give back any of the money he stole neither.

Too bad Eliot Spitzer isn't on this case. This dude should be naked, homeless, and riding the bus.

I can't wait for the fall-out in the Congress. I don't care if it hits Republicans more than Democrats. I hope this leads to outing all these crooks and their conspirator lobbyists. Burn 'em all.

"Words will not ever be able to express my sorrow and my profound regret for all my actions and mistakes," Abramoff said, addressing the judge. "I hope I can merit forgiveness from the Almighty and those I've wronged or caused to suffer."

Those you've wronged are us, the American people. You may not be able to express your sorrow or regret, but I'd feel better if you and all the bastards in Congress stood some chance of being stripped of every cent of your ill-gotten gains.

What's that old bit about "prayer being the last refuge of a scoundrel"?

I think Billzebub might actually believe that Goo Goo Government Bullshit.

This is a cycle that has repeated itself ad naseum since the beginning of time.

I'm not whinig 'cause he's got money. I'm pissed because the money's stolen and we've been raped. Nothing petty about it.

The cycle may continue to repeat itself, but that doesn't mean I can't and shouldn't pull for all of these bastards to fry.

Incidentally, Senator, I thought you'd be all over this.

It doesn't suck being rich.
