More on Ralph Reed's good buddy, Jack Abramoff.


Apparently, in Abramoff's world, the concept of "charity" doesn't involve, technically, giving any actual money:

Capital Athletic Foundation, a charity run by disgraced lobbyist Jack Abramoff now at the center of an influence-peddling investigation on Capitol Hill, told the IRS it gave away more than $330,000 in grants in 2002 to four other charities that say they never received the money.

The largest grant the foundation listed in its 2002 tax filing was for $300,000 to P'TACH of New York, a nonprofit that helps Jewish children with learning disabilities.

"We've never received a $300,000 gift, not in our 28 years," a surprised Rabbi Burton Jaffa, P'TACH's national director, told the Austin American-States- man. "It would have been gone by now. I guess I would have been able to pay some teachers on time.

All of this sleaze should be collected and dumped at the door of these dingbats, who should be forced to explain just what the phrase "Canadian Values" means to them.
