Who knew? NY Senator Hitlery Rodham Klinton took über lobbyist Jack Abramoff's dirty money as well. What a hypocrite ! Just like her "husband".
Parenthetically, the print edition of the Rochester Post-Bulletin mentions on the first page of their Thursday, January 5, 2006 that the late senator St. Paul Wellstone also received campaign contributions from Abramoff. The story then concentrates on chiding First District Representative Gil Gutknecht for receiving $250 from the disgraced lobbyist.
No word yet on how much Wellstone accepted from Abramoff or if his estate plans to donate the equivalent amount to charity.

The only thing surprising in this revelation is that Hitlary only got about $45k. She must have stashed the rest of it in the Caymen Islands. The DFL letter against Gutknecht was so moronic it probably did more good than harm. I hope it takes more than $250 to "buy" a Republican congressman. I saw some stats from the FEC that indicated Wellstone's bribe was also in the less than $1k range. And no, I don't think Wellstone returned any favors for the money either. Only the big fry, like Hitlary, knew what was expected of them.
