A deal for Abramoff?

WARNING: Post may cause uncontrollable salivation.

I hope Abramoff goes down big time, but I certainly wouldn't mind if he turned snitch:

Jack Abramoff, the Republican lobbyist under criminal investigation, has been discussing with prosecutors a deal that would grant him a reduced sentence in exchange for testimony against former political and business associates, people with detailed knowledge of the case say.

Mr. Abramoff is believed to have extensive knowledge of what prosecutors suspect is a wider pattern of corruption among lawmakers and Congressional staff members. One participant in the case who insisted on anonymity because of the sensitivity of the negotiations described him as a "unique resource"...

What began as a limited inquiry into $82 million of Indian casino lobbying by Mr. Abramoff and his closest partner, Michael Scanlon, has broadened into a far-reaching corruption investigation of mainly Republican lawmakers and aides suspected of accepting favors in exchange for legislative work.

Ah, the anticipation! Who dares to imagine what corruption lies beneath the slimy veneer of Republican politics? (Okay, many of us have -- so, by all means, let's all go there and find out.)
