Abramoffukkah
Shouldn't some intrepid newsgathering organization be moving a scoop about now? It's not like it's a Fitzgerald investigation. It's hard to believe we're not going to find out what's happening until tomorrow's new conference.
11 p.m. CDT UPDATE: Guess not. But Josh scoops the rest of the blogosphere by finding a Houston Chronicle scoop reporting what AP reported Friday. We know how it feels when you don't want a day to expire without at least one post.

Dear Editors and Readers,
Does this new nickname for the Abramoff scandal in DC sound a bit on
the anti-semitic side? or is it just funny? or am I missing something. Abramoff is Jewish, Hannukah is a Jewish holiday, what's the JOKE HERE? i don't get it. I don't LIKE it. but here
it is all over the web and blogs now.
Is this the new hip, cool antisemitism of today, or it is just funny and some people just don't GET it? Okay, then enlighten me: why give the scandal a Jewish sounding nickname playing on Hannukkah?
Why not the usual Abramoffgate......
Someone needs to ANSWER for this sick nickname, and I say this as a left leaning Democrat from way back who thinks JA is in big doodoo and should pay for whatever crimes he may have committed, sure. But to call the scandal by a Jewishish nickname, that is scandalous! OICH!
What is happening to America?

Danny Bee,
Silly you! The porte manteau (look it up!) ''Abramoffukkah'' is playing off the Patrick Fitzgerald grand jury thiong. The day Scooter Libby was indicted was called the First Day of Fitzmas. Is anybody home?
So, from Fitzmas to Abramoffukkah. Get it? When they slap Ken Lay in irons, that day will be called Enronzaa.
So, in short. It *IS* funny; and some people don't get it. Like you.
Sorry. But that's life. Lighten up, lad!
