Who Else Got Some (and didn't)

The same folks who brought us the Duke Cunningham bribary scandal were busy passing money around to some other more famous politicians, accoring to the non-partisan Center for Responsive Politics:
Political action committees controlled by MZM, Inc., which was founded by alleged Cunningham co-conspirator Mitchell Wade, and ADCS, Inc., which was founded by alleged co-conspirator Brent Wilkes, have contributed more than $1 million in the last 10 years to a roster of politicians, leadership PACs and party committees. Top recipients include Rep. Virgil H. Goode Jr. (R-Va.), Rep. Katherine Harris (R-Fla.), Sen. Elizabeth Dole (R-N.C.), Tom DeLay's Americans for a Republican Majority PAC and President Bush. Republicans have been the recipients of 95% of the two defense contractors' giving, according to the Center for Responsive Politics' analysis.

Outrageously, Ted Stevens, Don Young, and no one named Murkowski made the list of top recipients. After so many years of being ignored and abused, Alaska still gets shafted in Washington, DC.

This is only getting bigger and bigger - expect dozens of related congressional casualties.
(See today's NYT)

Everybody and Abramoff's mob connections and a nice set of rotations through K street.
