Yes, that’s Democratic senator Byron Dorgan. According to the AP:
– Lobbyist Jack Abramoff instructed an Indian tribe to make a $5,000 donation to Sen. Byron Dorgan shortly after the lawmaker signed a letter requesting federal money for a school program that Abramoff’s tribal clients wanted, the tribe’s lawyer said Monday.
What’s the point? Dems who want to shout with a laundry list of corrupt Republicans (some corrupt criminals [Cunningham], some not so [Frist, DeLay]), ought to take the opportunity to look inward, too. It’s a D.C. thing that shouldn’t be. I wouldn’t invest too much time pointing fingers at the other party’s “culture of corruption” if I were, say, Howard Dean.
