Mr. DeLay's friend

You know how Jack Abramoff was hired to protect sweatshop owners in Saipan from having to comply with American labor laws. And you remember how he helped Indian gambling interests get out of paying taxes. But did you know that right after 9/11 he was hired by a Saudi petro-billionaire to help him deal with US government claims that his banks handled money for and funded various terrorist groups including al Qaida?

This isn't just a crooked lobbyist. This is someone managing a slush-fund. The sort of unregulated, unwatched pile of money patronage-based political machines always need to keep running.

So who is he running it for?

If you're interested in either the DeLay/Abramoff or Duke Cunningham scandals, Marshall is regularly keeping up with both.

....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
