The Atlanta Journal Constitution has picked up some of the damning bits on Ralph Reed from today’s McCain report, a report that makes it clear Reed laundered money from the tribes to hide his hypocrisy. Reed’s still making a run for lieutenant governor down there, remember.

And what’s Reed’s reply?

“The report confirms I have not been accused of any wrongdoing in this matter…It also confirms that I was hired as a subcontractor for a very respected law firm, and had no direct relationship with their clients.”

You have to appreciate the gumption there. According to Reed, the report, which details how Reed funneled money to avoid a direct relationship with Abramoff’s clients, shows that he “had no direct relationship” with them. Bravo.
