From Big-Time Lobbyist to Object of Derision
By KATE ZERNIKE and ANNE E. KORNBLUT
WASHINGTON -
Jack Abramoff, former superlobbyist and newly convicted felon, is
learning how unpleasant disgrace can be.
After pleading guilty last week to federal corruption charges in
Washington and Florida, Mr. Abramoff is now mocked by late-night
comedians and editorial cartoonists.
Television commentators are calling him a scoundrel, even "Satan."
A fashion writer described him as a fat mobster in his black fedora
and trench coat.
His most diehard defenders have fled, and people he once counted as
friends privately insist that they were never all that close.
Even if Mr. Abramoff wanted to escape the suburban home where he has
hunkered down, the knee surgery he underwent Thursday has hobbled him.
He sits at home, friends say, speculating about which of the people
who no longer return his calls are making which anonymous snipes in
the newspapers.

What are the odds that he will live long enough to testify?

Wonder how many times "that filthy Jew" have been uttered in Republican
cocktail parties lately.
