Moving money from a casino-operating Indian tribe to Ralph Reed, the Christian Coalition founder and professed gambling opponent, was a problem. Lobbyist Abramoff turned to his longtime friend Norquist, apparently to provide a buffer for Reed.

The result, according to evidence gathered by the Senate Indian Affairs Committee, was that Norquist's Americans for Tax Reform became a conduit for more than a million dollars from the Mississippi Choctaw to Reed's operation, while Norquist, a close White House ally, took a cut.

Man, Bush sure does suck at picking friends.

If we don't look at it, and don't answer, it will never have happened.
I say, let's rather rant about unpatriotic libruhls.

I would take personal pleasure in seeing Grover Norquist go to jail, but I would take SPECIAL DELIGHT in seeing Ralph Reed go to the big house and his political career go up in flames.

Y'see, Reed always claimed to be Christian...but he has proven consistently that he is all hat and no cattle in that department.

Just another piece of lying, young Republican pond scum. The world and certainly the US won't miss him when he's gone.
