Jack Abramoff will be an albatross around the neck of the Republican establishment for the foreseeable future. the latest, but certainly not last, to fall is Timothy Flanigan, as the GOP culture of corruption continues to disintegrate:

Bush Drops Justice Department Nomination of Flanigan (Update1)
Oct. 7 (Bloomberg) -- President George W. Bush withdrew the nomination of Timothy Flanigan as deputy attorney general, the White House said. Flanigan, a Tyco International Ltd. general counsel, has been questioned by Senate Democrats over his links to lobbyist Jack Abramoff.
Flanigan's confirmation was delayed and he was scheduled to testify for a second time before the Senate Judiciary Committee to answer more questions regarding Abramoff, a former lobbyist for Tyco. As Tyco general counsel, Flanigan supervised Abramoff's lobbying. Tyco paid the lobbyist's firm at the time, Miami-based Greenberg Traurig LLP, $2.1 million from 2002 to 2004.

Abramoff is connected to everyone in the GOP establishment, from the President right on down. watch for the casualties of a plea bargain.
