The Washington Post has a good article about the many connections between Ralph Reed, former head of the Christian Coalition, and Jack Abramoff. Reed took millions from gambling interests, funnelled through Abramoff, to mobilize Christian opposition to new casinos, everyone knew that. They've been close friends for 25 years, it turns out. The golden boy of the religious right may be going down in flames.
I'll believe it when I see it. Just like all of these tainted politicians they seem to have a one word defense strategy:
Deny, deny, deny, deny, deny, deny, deny, deny, deny, deny...
And when that doesn't work (a la Tom Delay) then:
Deny, deny, deny, deny, deny, deny, deny, deny, deny, deny...
Interesting indeed. It's quarter past time that some of the old members of the Republican College Committee got their comeuppance. It's always been about the money, after all.
Cheers!

Ralph Reed is campaiging for Lt. Governor in Georgia right now. His primary opponents are criticizing him for corruption and for being more concerned with Washington than Georgia.
