9 million to short circuit the process of going to the State Department and the White House in order to schedule a meeting with the President is worth it. Have you ever tried to schedule a tour of the White House? It's nearly impossible.
And I bet that Abramoff kept 90% of that 9 million. Lobbyists will pay the bare minimum out in terms of overhead, labor, etc. so they get to keep the rest. If there were monetary kickbacks I'd be highly surprised. No sane lobbyist hands cash to anyone especially with so many eyes on the Administration. If there are kickbacks/rewards, they come in the form of dinners, trips, golf outings, receptions, etc. (i.e. Bob Ney).If you look around and think everyone else is an *******, you're the *******.

As someone said, whats disgusting in Washington is not ongoing illegalities, its what is legal.
