Another Jack Abramoff opus

In the Post. This guy's shady lobbying on behalf of an online gambling outfit in 2000 ensnares Tony Rudy, a top DeLay aide at the time. Maybe DeLay, too. Also, these hypocrites:

Abramoff quietly arranged for eLottery to pay conservative, anti-gambling activists to help in the firm's $2 million pro-gambling campaign, including Ralph Reed, former head of the Christian Coalition, and the Rev. Louis P. Sheldon of the Traditional Values Coalition. Both kept in close contact with Abramoff about the arrangement, e-mails show. Abramoff also turned to prominent anti-tax conservative Grover Norquist, arranging to route some of eLottery's money for Reed through Norquist's group, Americans for Tax Reform.

Fascinating tale of the Byzantine way lobbyists manipulate the process to kill a bill that's on a fast track to passage. Abramoff's taking a bunch of weasels down with him, all deserving.
