The Abramoff Spin Cycle is On High

If you've never seen the write-up "Six Degrees of Jack Abramoff" you really ought to go read it. Among many interesting things the piece references is a golf junket to Scotland by Tom DeLay, courtesy of Abramoff. Another recipient of an Abramoff-paid Scotland golf junket, Rep. Tom Feeney, wrote an op-ed yesterday in which he sought to "clarify facts" about the trip. Comically, he would not name Abramoff outright, not wanting to accentuate his association with that pariah. Brad Blog reprints the op-ed with the mysterious references replaced with actual terms (i.e., "a high-profile case" becomes "Jack Abramoff"). Brad Friedman's version is much more clear -- and more amusing. But to really get the joke, you first need to read it as written in Feeney's own words.
