1. Listening to Abramoff describe his deliberate concealment of

language, that only the committee chairs knew about, makes me wonder did he own them too?

2. This reminds me of Wall Street: Money Level sleeps.

Gordon Gekko says "I am small time compared to these crooks."

3. i wonder if he mentions talk radio in the book- he referenced it in the emails as intimidation tool

to get local politicians and others to cooperate.

no chance he'll get asked the importance of talk radio in any of his interviews.
