Obey Comments

A little late, but Obey comments on Abramoff tribe money. As we've consistently said, we think this whole hysteria about giving back legal, fully disclosed campaign contributions is ridiculous. Legal campaign contributions are not bribes. It's not stopping Obey and his cohorts from saying Republicans are engaged in a culture of corruption though. Anyway, Obey says Abramoff wasn't the lobbyist for the tribes at the time, so he doesn't have to give it back. Fine with us.

We must note that Obey gets 2/3rds of his money from special interests in DC. We bet he wouldn't have given this money back even if Abramoff would have been the lobbyist. I guess we'll never know.
