Political misstep
Yesterday I contemplated the effects of returning dirty money to an indicted lobbyist. Other than the political gain from distancing yourself from a guy you now know is corrupt, I didn't see much point.
Montana Senator Conrad Burns doesn't even see the political gain. He's refusing to return money from indicted lobbyist Jack Abramoff and friends because the money is already spent.
This is one reason that kos thinks Burns is vulnerable. And he's got an opponent all picked out.
