Among Dems, from AP: Rep. Patrick Kennedy, citing his support for American Indian causes, says he has no plans to return any of the $42,500 he took from tribes represented by GOP lobbyist Jack Abramoff. …. Kennedy, D-R.I., was the top congressional Democratic recipient of Abramoff-linked funds, according to the Center for Responsive Politics, a campaign watchdog group that analyzed contributions from 1999 to 2005. He was eighth overall among members of Congress…. … Congressman Charlie Rangel (D-NY) has collected “$36,000 from two of Abramoff’s Indian clients — third most among Democrats — and sees their cash as no different from the $148,000 he received from eight other tribes not connected to Abramoff. He said he doesn’t intend to return the money.”
