How Did Abramoff become a "Republican lobbyist"?

When the story broke several days ago, this guy was a crooked lobbyist with ties to a lot of different politicians. In more recent stories, he's identified almost exclusively as a "Republican lobbyist". If this isn't a blatant example of media bias, I don't know what is. Barely covered in the major media is the Dems who took money from this guy.

In truth, while Abramoff appears to have favored Republicans about 2:1, he certainly was no enemy to prominent Democrats as well. Anyone with more than a passing familiarity with the role of lobbyists in government knows that lobbyists push agendas and not parties, and give money out to those with a greater chance of supporting the agenda, regardless.

As expected, Nancy Pelosi comes out with her DNC sound bites du jour and tries to refresh her "culture of corruption" mantra....OK, Nancy, I guess you better lambast Sen. Harry Reid, D, NV, as well, 'cause he also took a whole bunch of money from this creep.
