“There are no Democrats who took money from Jack Abramoff, not one, not one single Democrat. Every person named in this scandal is a Republican. Every person under investigation is a Republican. Every person indicted is a Republican. This is a Republican finance scandal. There is no evidence that Jack Abramoff ever gave any Democrat any money and we’ve looked through all of the F.E.C. reports to make sure that’s true…I know the Republican National Committee would like to get the Democrats involved in this. They're scared. They should be scared. They haven't told the truth. They have misled the American people, and now it appears they're stealing from Indian tribes. The Democrats are not involved in this.”
~Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean CNN’s Late Edition,1/8/2006

Lil' Howie proves yet again that he doesn't live in the same world as the rest of us. I just hope that he keeps bloviating though, he's the best thing for the Republican party since they passed the Civil Rights Act of 1964. (Another rewrite of history that doesn't seem to be recalled, but that's a different post.)
I blatently stole this from Wild Thing, only I don't have the cool art work.
Source on those numbers? I've been trying to confirm this and can't find the source.
