Okay, so back in January, in one of his many 
attempts to de-Republicanize the scandal tied to his friend Jack Abramoff, RNC Chief Ken Mehlman said, “When you look at this scandal, there’s no question both Democrats and Republicans received money. . . . We shouldn’t be pointing fingers.”
Well, it’s no surprise Ken Mehlman doesn’t want any fingers pointed since one of the big fingers would be pointed at him.
As we noted here, Mehlman killed a State Department nomination as a favor/political payback to Abramoff. The favor in question had to do with knocking out a guy named Allen Stayman who’d earlier made it harder for Abramoff to keep the sweatshops running on Saipan.
So here’s where we need your help. Ken Mehlman has been serving up lots of bamboozlement on the Abramoff scandal — how it’s not a Republican scandal, how the malefactors should be punished, how he barely knew Abramoff, and so on and so forth.
Gotta good Mehlman quote along these lines? Send them in and we’ll post the best.
