HELENA — Jack Abramoff, the Washington lobbyist at the center of a congressional influence-peddling scandal, told Vanity Fair magazine that "every appropriation we wanted, we got" from U.S. Sen. Conrad Burns' committee.

"Our staffs were as close as they could be," Abramoff told Vanity Fair, which hit newsstands in New York and Los Angeles Wednesday with a story on Abramoff headlined "Washington's Invisible Man."



State Senate President Jon Tester, one of Burns' two main Democratic opponents, called Wednesday for Burns to resign. And Larry Sabato, director of the University of Virginia's Center for Politics, suggested that the state Republican Party would be better off if Burns stepped aside and let Republican U.S. Rep. Denny Rehberg run in his place.

"It may be their best chance to hold the seat," he said.

5. I am not sure what to think about Sen. etc from Indian states

This gets iffy. Would it be normal to take money from people that vote in your state and you should be working for or what? I guess one would have to see just what they were voting on. Heck they could be going to vote for the good of their voters and just take the money any how. They do seem to grab any money that is around. I guess the whole thing seem so silly I have trouble trying to figure out just why it was done.

6. Abramoff is really singing!

I wonder how many Repukes will end up going to jail or resigning over this scandal. Surely not enough.
