Bush, Cheney linked to Abramoff's filthy lucre.

If Tom DeLay is "The Hammer," Jack Abramoff deserves the nickname "The Octopus." And yet another tentacle has come to light, this time going straight to the Oval Office.

Raw Story is teasing a story that they say is an exclusive-- Bush and Cheney owe Abramoff's firm some $320,000 for work in Florida during the "recount" in 2000. Either one of them could have payed this at any time during the last five years from the change in their sofas, obviously. But there it sits.

I'll update as I find more information.

UPDATE: Not quite as explosive as it first sounded, but the full story can be read through the link above.
