Quote: Matter-eater Man said: Actually Dean had also said earlier that no Dems that he knew of had taken money directly from Abramoff. As far as I know that is still the case. We already knew that Reid had taken money from a tribe that also did business with Abramoff.
So far the mainstream press has not been overly critical of Indian casino operators who knowingly took part in the Abramoff scheme, although this may change once Abramoff testifies before U.S. prosecutors.
It is silly to maintain that Indian gambling is free of corruption and is sufficiently regulated to prevent any large-scale abuses.
