A little fear for the new year

elephant...for Republicans who enjoyed the favors of Jack Abramoff, that is -- he's pleading guilty and planning to help the feds pull in their nets...
Mr. Abramoff, 46, is pleading guilty to fraud, public corruption and tax evasion, setting the stage for prosecutors to begin using him as a cooperating witness against his former business and political colleagues. In exchange, Mr. Abramoff faces a maximum of about 10 years in prison in the Washington case.
A lot of heads are gonna roll as this thing gets going! And they won't be donkeys!

Update:
see this digby post (wait for the link to jump down) for an explanation about why it's ridiculous to call this a bipartisan scandal -- the problem is integrated into the way the GOP/business/lobbying machine is structured, and thus it runs deep in that single party.
