More Abramoff Cheat Reporting

The big Newsweek expose on the Abramoff scandal -- by lead reporter Michael Isikoff of "flush the Koran" fame -- joins the parade of media selectively reporting the Abramoff scandal as a GOP-only party.

For example:
The panic on Capitol Hill was palpable; lawmakers scrambled to give away or return their campaign donations from Abramoff and his clients, led by House Speaker Dennis Hastert ($67,000).
Let's see ... Dem. Byron Dorgan has returned a $67,000 Abramoff contribution. And Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid has defiantly said he's not going to return the $60,000 he got from Abramoff.
