Some Republicans Sorry About Abramoff Ties

•  
• by: Colorado Pols

Talking Points Memo has a fascinating new campaign spot from Florida Rep. Tom Feeney, who is shown apologizing directly to the camera for a Jack Abramoff-sponsored trip he took:

As you can imagine, this piqued the interest of Colorado Senate candidate Mark Udall, whose opponent Bob Schaffer could reasonably be asked to shoot the same commercial.

“Bob Schaffer was up to his neck in the same kind of corrupt dealing with jailed lobbyist Jack Abramoff that Tom Feeney was,” said Udall campaign spokeswoman Tara Trujillo.  “Schaffer took Abramoff’s trip and then he took Abramoff’s marching orders, turning a blind eye to human trafficking and forced abortions in the process.  Tom Feeney is at least taking responsibility for his actions.  When will Bob Schaffer?”
