The Other Jack Abramoff

When Jack Abramoff became the poster boy for crooked lobbying, it was hard to square that with the man I knew.

Jack Abramoff went off to jail on Wednesday, November 15. On his last night of freedom, he was sending out e-mails to friends, including me, at 3:50 am.

“One day,” he wrote, “maybe we will be able to figure out why all this happened.”

He had become the poster boy for villainous lobbyists, a caricature of the worst that Washington has to offer in the way of avarice and backstabbing.
