Jack Abramoff slams GOP over House ethics changes

[Arkansas Granny]

Jack Abramoff, the disgraced former lobbyist whose felony crimes eventually helped lead to the creation of the independent Office of Congressional Ethics, ripped House Republicans for their move to gut the independent watchdog.

Abramoff, who emerged from prison as a self-styled ethics reformer, told POLITICO that the House GOP package adopted on Monday is “exactly the opposite of what Congress should be doing.”

Just how ethically challenged must you be to draw a reprimand from Jack Abramoff? Has Tom Delay made a comment yet?

1. Bernie Madoff is probably sitting in his prison cell

shaking his head and wondering why those guys aren't in the slammer with him.

2. What will Newt Gingrich say, I wonder?

Buncha hypocrites.

4. It just gets better and better, doesn't it

Even Trump himself felt the speed with which the ethics destruction took place was a little unseemly.

My god, what's going to become of us.

5. Tom Delay was the first person I thought of when I heard..

they passed this in the middle of the night.
