Sing Away!

How about this breaking headline?

Abramoff business partner and former DeLay aide Michael Scanlon charged.

What's not said is that being charged without an indictment usually means there's been a plea deal. A plea deal means that Scanlon is likely singing like a canary. And Scanlon is a former DeLay aide?

I haven't written much about the Abramoff/DeLay thing. But given all the numerous players, including Bush, that have been associated with Abramoff, this investigation has about as much potential as PlameGate in bringing down the administration.
