Plainsense Has Entered the Fray: See My Comments Concerning Slate Article "Crimes and Misdemeanors "

Excellent Article but Leaves Out K Street Project by Plainsense 08/16/2008

I applaud Kara Hadge, Emily Bazelon, Dahlia Lithwick and Chris Wilson for their excellent article. My one piece of constructive criticism is their leaving out completely the biggest influence peddling scandal in history, Abramoff & company's "K Street Project".

One should never let the electorate forget in this extremely important election year that the Bush Admin presided over the worst corruption scandal since Tea Pot Dome or before that, the Grant Admin.

Remember when the scandal first broke and Bush and the White House denied even knowing Abramoff?

When confronted with pictures of them together, it was dismissed by the White House PR hacks as just typical Washington cocktail circuit photo ops. Then nearly a year later it was revealed that Abramoff had over 400 direct contacts by phone or email with the West Wing of the White House. They were'nt just talking baseball.
