Bye Bye Gale Norton.....Good Riddence
Friday, March 10, 2006
Hey guess what? Its a picture of Gale Norton the head of the Dept of Interior with none other than Jack Abramoff and a few tribal clients. And what did Gale do today, she abruptly resigned today to "spend more time with her family". Below is a bit on her connection to Jack, one more down but plently left to go. Below the picture is an email linking our favorite American Taliban member Jim Dobson, the head of Focus on the Family to Abramoff. In 2002 the head of the Christian Coalition Ralph Reed a close friend to Jack got Dobson on board to help with the tribal casino scam. Reed and Dobson have denied their involvement but they helped extort money from god fearing christians and funneled it into a scheme to promote gambling. Reed is trying to run for Lutenient governer in Georgia but I doubt that will last much longer. As you can see Jack is radioactive all over Washington and with many different groups of people.

Abramoff's tribal clients donated $50,000 to a conservative environmental group founded by Norton, hoping to win face time with the Secretary. They eventually did.
Former DeLay deputy chief of staff Tony Rudy helped Abramoff arrange a meeting with Norton, and within months, the lobbyist's clients were making huge contributions to the environmental group Norton started, the Council of Republicans for Environmental Advocacy.
“Do you think you could call that friend and set up a meeting?” then-DeLay staffer Tony Rudy asked fellow House aide Thomas Pyle in a Dec. 29, 2000, e-mail obtained by the Associated Press titled “Gale Norton-Interior Secretary.” President Bush had nominated Norton to his cabinet the day before.
More from AP:
"Rudy wrote Abramoff that same day promising he had “good news” about securing a meeting with Norton, forwarding information about the environmental group Norton had founded, according to e-mails obtained by investigators and reviewed by The Associated Press. Rudy’s message to Abramoff was sent from Congress’ official e-mail system.
"Within months, Abramoff clients donated heavily to the Norton-founded group and to DeLay’s personal charity. The Coushatta Indian tribe, for instance, wrote checks in March 2001 for $50,000 to the Norton group and $10,000 to the DeLay Foundation, tribal records show.
"The lobbyist and the Coushattas eventually won face-to-face time with the secretary during a Sept. 24, 2001, dinner sponsored by the group she had founded.
"Abramoff’s clients were trying to stop a rival Indian tribe from winning Interior Department approval to build a casino."
