Perhaps you remember these lenghthy articles, part of a series that has been meant to single out Tom DeLay.

Probe of Abramoff and Nonprofits' Money Opens

DeLay Airfare Was Charged To Lobbyist's Credit Card

Well, after several months of this - guess what? The Washington Post finds out that senior Democrats were the largest recipients of Abramoff's largesse.

Democrats Also Got Tribal Donations

Lobbyist Jack Abramoff and an associate famously collected $82 million in lobbying and public relations fees from six Indian tribes and devoted a lot of their time to trying to persuade Republican lawmakers to act on their clients' behalf.

But Abramoff didn't work just with Republicans. He oversaw a team of two dozen lobbyists at the law firm Greenberg Traurig that included many Democrats. Moreover, the campaign contributions that Abramoff directed from the tribes went to Democratic as well as Republican legislators.

Among the biggest beneficiaries were Capitol Hill's most powerful Democrats, including Thomas A. Daschle (S.D.) and Harry M. Reid (Nev.), the top two Senate Democrats at the time, Richard A. Gephardt (Mo.), then-leader of the House Democrats, and the two lawmakers in charge of raising funds for their Democratic colleagues in both chambers, according to a Washington Post study.

Kudos for the Post for at least putting it on page 1 as they did the original stories which focused on DeLay.

Note: I am not trying to defend Tom DeLay as a person or politician, just pointing out what has seemed to be a focus on his misdeeds alone.

Democratic lawmakers who responded to inquiries for this article said that any money they received from the tribes had nothing to do with Abramoff. They were quick to say they did not know the man.

Sure.
