Giving Back Abramoff's Money Won't Make Republicans Clean
Republicans are really worried what their fellow Republican Jack Abramoff will tell prosecutors. They are falling all over themselves to get rid of campaign contributions he made to them.
One of my colleagues, who is not in government relations, hit the nail on the head when he pointed out that if you rob a bank, you are not declared innocent if you give the money back.
bush is giving back just $6,000, even though Abramoff raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for him. Abramoff was a "Pioneer" for Bush, which meant he raised over $100,000 for him. But Republicans stopped worrying about being hypocritical a long time ago.

Bush isn't the only one to feel only part of the pain. Arizopa Republican house member J.D. Hayworth's PAC got $115,500. Hayworth has returned $13,880 of it. Enjoy that $101,620 JD.
