Howie Spleen whistles past his brain pan.

From CNSNews.com:

Republican claims to the contrary, Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean says no Democrat lawmakers took money from lobbyist Jack Abramoff -- "not one, not one single Democrat."

Dean, speaking Sunday on CNN's Late Edition, said every person named in the Abramoff payola scandal -- and every person under investigation and/or indicted -- is a Republican.

"This is a Republican finance scandal. There is no evidence that Jack Abramoff ever gave any Democrat any money and we've looked through all of the F.E.C. reports to make sure that's true," Dean said.

He said Republicans are scared - and should be: "They haven't told the truth. They have misled the American people, and now it appears they're stealing from Indian tribes. The Democrats are not involved in this," Dean insisted.

According to the National Republican Senatorial Committee, "Forty of 45 members of the Democrat Senate Caucus took money from Jack Abramoff, his associates, and Indian tribe clients."

Some Democrats have returned or redirected the Abramoff-linked money to charity, but others say they'll keep it because they say the contributions are legitimate.
