That's nice, I suppose...
WASHINGTON -- Former Rep. George Nethercutt, R-Wash., has donated to charity $1,000 he received from disgraced lobbyist Jack Abramoff, his office said Thursday....though it doesn't seem to cover the $500 that Nethercutt took from Abramoff for an earlier House race. Maybe George figures that only money from unsuccessful campaigns is tainted.
Nethercutt, now a lobbyist in Washington, D.C., received the money during his unsuccessful 2004 campaign to unseat Democratic Sen. Patty Murray.
And why aren't we hearing more about the thousand bucks credited to the account of the Chair of the House Ethics Committee from the personal resources of the latest poster boy for the Republican culture of corruption.
What's up, Doc?
