The ABCs of Corruption - Year-End Update

Back in October, I wrote a children's guide to Republican corruption. The wheels of justice grind slowly, but they do grind, and so there are updates on some of our cast of characters (even as we wait, impatiently, for others to get their due). Here, then, is the year-end update:

A is for Abramoff, lobbyist czar [reportedly close to a plea deal]
B is for Boulis, shot dead in his car
Cunningham picked up a house and a yacht [pled guilty, resigned from Congress]
D is DeLay, who makes Congress stay bought [conspiracy charge thrown out; will be tried on money laundering charge]
Earle is the guy put DeLay in the dock
F is for Frist, who shorted his stock
G is for Gannon, the media whore
H is for Halliburton, ready to score
Illegal acts, way too many to mention
J is for Judy, fresh out of detention [sacked by the Times, but with a hefty severance]
K is for Kidan, who paid for a hit [entered plea agreement, is cooperating with prosecutors]
L is for Libby, a traitorous shit [indicted]
M is for money, and laundering same
N is for N Ney, whose excuses were lame [now a target of the Abramoff investigation]
O is Ohio, where Coingate rages
Pombo paid family extravagant wages [tied to Abramoff's Indian money, likely target of investigation]
Q is for Norquist, involved in it all
R is for Rove, who is due for a fall [escaped indictment in October, but Fitzpatrick has a new grand jury]
S is Safavian, procurer for Jack
T is for Taft, whom the voters would sack
U is unheard-of corruption and vice
V is for Vast Right Wing Scam--ain't it nice?
W's the one all his cronies have carried
X marks the spot where his bodies are buried
Y is for you--they all think you're so dumb
Z is the zoo that our government has become

[That's all, folks]
