Dems took Abramoff $$ too

A funny thing I found today ... it appears that nearly all of the Democrats in the Senate received a bit of assistance from jailed lobbyist Jack Abramoff.

Although reporters continue to insist that the Abramoff imbroglio is "a Republican scandal," 40 of the Democratic Party's 45 U.S. senators made the Jack Abramoff dishonor roll, including:


  • Senator Max Baucus (D-MT) - $22,500
  • Senator Evan Bayh (D-IN) - $6,500
  • Senator Joseph Biden (D-DE) - $1,250
  • Senator Jeff Bingaman (D-NM) - $2,000
  • Senator Barbara Boxer (D-CA) - $20,250
  • Senator Maria Cantwell (D-WA) - $21,765
  • Senator Tom Carper (D-DE) - $7,500
  • Senator Hillary Clinton (D-NY) - $12,950
  • Senator Kent Conrad (D-ND) - $8,000
  • Senator Jon Corzine (D-NJ) - $7,500
  • Senator Chris Dodd (D-CT) - $14,792
  • Senator Byron Dorgan (D-ND) - $79,300
  • Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL) - $14,000
  • Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) - $2,000
  • Senator Russ Feingold (D-WI) - $1,250
  • Senator Tom Harkin (D-IA) - $45,750
  • Senator Daniel Inouye (D-HI) - $9,000
  • Senator Jim Jeffords (I-VT) - $2,000
  • Senator Tim Johnson (D-SD) - $14,250
  • Senator Ted Kennedy (D-MA) - $3,300
  • Senator John Kerry (D-MA) - $98,550
  • Senator Mary Landrieu (D-LA) - $28,000
  • Senator Pat Leahy (D-VT) - $4,000
  • Senator Carl Levin (D-MI) - $6,000
  • Senator Joe Lieberman (D-CT) - $29,830
  • Senator Blanche Lincoln (D-AR) - $14,891
  • Senator Barbara Mikulski (D-MD) - $10,550
  • Senator Patty Murray (D-WA) - $78,991
  • Senator Bill Nelson (D-FL) - $20,168
  • Senator Ben Nelson (D-NE) - $5,200
  • Senator Barack Obama (D-IL) - $7,500
  • Senator Mark Pryor (D-AR) - $2,300
  • Senator Jack Reed (D-RI) - $3,500
  • Senator Harry Reid (D-NV) - $68,941
  • Senator John Rockefeller (D-WV) - $4,000
  • Senator Ken Salazar (D-CO) - $4,500
  • Senator Paul Sarbanes (D-MD) - $4,300
  • Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY) - $29,550
  • Senator Debbie Stabenow (D-MI) - $6,250
  • Senator Ron Wyden (D-OR) - $6,250

Oh, you probably didn't know that.
