The Republican response? Pretend this is about something else.
Initially, Republican members were asked whether they would return contributions from Republican lobbyist Jack Abramoff. Their response: to point the finger at Democrats and say that they too received contributions from Republican lobbyist Jack Abramoff or his clients.
This obviously dishonest phrasing is nonetheless suited to cable news and Sunday talk shows where there is little opportunity for rebuttal or critical questioning.
As every reader of this blog is no doubt aware, Jack Abramoff did not give a single dime to any Democratic Member of Congress. Nor did he direct a single dime from his clients to any Democrat. Period.
