3. he's a Democrat, so this is probably a neocon smear campaign

5. Same type of thing happened here

Apparently the FBI caught a group of politicans who took money from a group they weren't supposed to or something. I don't remember all the details. There were at least two republicans I think and democrats. Harold Ford junior's uncle was arrested for it. So this wouldn't be a first. And yes what ever happened to the DeLay hearings?
