November 15, 2006 1:23 PM

Brian Ross and Rhonda Schwartz Report:

As convicted lobbyist Jack Abramoff reported to federal prison today, a source close to the investigation surrounding his activities told ABC News that Sen. Harry Reid (D-Nev.) was one of the members of Congress Abramoff had allegedly implicated in his cooperation with federal prosecutors.

Is the housecleaning going to sweep out a number of Democrats as well?

I'm so sick of corruption.

1. Thank you for your concern.

ABC is a rightwing organization. Maybe you want to get your news from more reliable sources.

3. Excuse me......

Who might that be? CNN? MSNBC?

7. Right wing? ABC nailed Foley.

In fact it was ABC investigative reporter Brian Ross, who's mentioned here in the Reid piece, who broke the Foley story.

ABC's not perfect. But it's more reliable than you think.

2. Thank you for your concern.

I'll wait to see what Jack-off is claiming in order to save his criminal ass.

NGU.

4. Yes, I AM concerned....

I worked my butt off to help get Webb elected and I really don't care to see the Democrats go down in flames over corruption.

5. Don't worry. Reid took no money from Abramoff. People who were duped by Abramoff

gave Reid a few bucks, but that didn't alter his voting. Least, that's what I've read. I think he's clean. But we have to be ready. The long knives are coming out, just like they did for Bill & Hill. 8 years and millions of dollars worth of investigations that turned up absolutely nothing.

6. Thanks for the NON snarky reply.....n/t

[tblue]

10. Well, we have to be ready to defend our guys when they get smeared, because it's gonna happen

Gotta sink the swiftboats before they float. This is serious, Abram*off implicating Reid. I don't think it will stick, but we can't just laugh it off and assume the public will get the truth from the media.

8. Total BS

Anyone who has read the summary of Abramoff's history and political views would know that Casino Jack would sooner set himself on fire than work with a Democrat

9. ABC News Is No Longer A Reliable Source

11. It's a bullshit article.

No one is going after Reid.

The RW is shitting their pants because after Jan. the investigation begin.
