No Democrat has taken any money from Jack Abramoff. Not one. To say that any Democrat is "keeping Jack Abramoff's money" is a lie, plain and simple. It would be one thing if it was a lie coming from a rightist squawking head like Michelle Malkin, but it's absolutely outrageous coming from the office of the Speaker of the House.

The pressure is on for the media to parrot the Republican talking point that the Abramoff scandal is bipartisan. It's not. As Howard Dean did a beautiful job of pointing out to a disappointed Wolf Blitzer on yesterday's Late Edition, the Abramoff scandal is Republican, through and through.

The media has been so beaten down by charges of partisan bias (often rising these days to accusations of treason) that they are desperate to roll up a few Democrats in this scandal. But the reality is that Democrats in Washington, DC haven't been worth bribing for quite some time. They lost control of the House in 1995, with no serious indication (until this year) that they might win it back. They lost control of the Senate that same year, only to win it back briefly in 2001 before losing it again in 2003. And the K Street Project has long ensured that lobbyist dollars would be funnelled almost exclusively to Republicans. So no matter how the GOP and their intimidated allies in the media want to spin it, the corruption club in Washington is GOP-only and has been for the better part of the last decade.
