The Santorum-Abramoff Connection

Richard Cranium of The All-Spin Zone has reposted an important Daily Kos diary that details the connections between Rick Santorum and Jack Abramoff.

Check it out:

Some weeks ago, I posted a Diary, The Abramoff 64 + 34 Competitive Races = BIG GOP Trouble. At the time I feared that I was missing somebody.

I was.

I forgot Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania.

Now it is The Abramoff 65.

Turns out that Abramoff billed the Mariana Islands for two meetings with little Ricky in 1996, then his team billed the CNMI for an event, hosted by Santorum’s PAC just before the 1996 GOP convention. This was the meeting where Team Abramoff introduced the sweatshop owners to the Republican Conservatives. Attending for the Tan Family was Willie Tan, Ben Fitial and Eloy Inos. And as a gesture of gratitude, the sweatshop owners of Saipan gave Santorum’s PAC a $10,000 donation. . .

Head on over and read the whole thing.
