Jack Abramoff wants his name back. But House Democrats own it and they are going to keep it.

The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee owns the rights to the Web domain name “jackabramoff.com,” having secured it in 2006.

(...)

“Jack Abramoff can try to rehab his image, but glowing press stories and being back on the D.C. cocktail circuit don’t change the fact that Abramoff is a convicted felon who went to jail for being the heart of Republicans’ ‘Culture of Corruption,’” said Jennifer Crider, the DCCC’s spokeswoman. “We didn’t forget, Jack and anyone who visits jackabramoff.com won’t either.”

Abramoff added: “I didn’t want to have a fight with anybody and I asked very nicely, by the way. I just didn’t think it was necessary for them to have my name in the domain any more they would want me to have their name in a domain.”

3. Maybe 'abejackemoff.com' is available

He walked far too soon. Instead of enriching himself, he should still be in stir IMO.

7. He wants is "back"? He never had it in the first place, did he?

I skimmed the article, and didn't find any mention that he actually ever owned the domain.

Anyway, as long as Politico is doing his bidding for him (the article ends with what seems to be a sales pitch for Abramoff), why does he need his own domain?

8. How about using

Therealjackabramoff.com?

9. Hate to be a wet towel..

.. but legally he can force the issue if he sues, and given that it IS his name, he would win.
