Will this blow up into a new scandal for GW?

Quite possibly

Justin Raimondo has some valuable insights…

Abramoff and the Israeli Connection
The snakepit of corruption that is Washington, D.C., is writhing and roiling these days with the news that super-lobbyist and Republican fundraiser Jack Abramoff has pleaded guilty to bribery, fraud, and other charges that could embroil Capitol Hill in the biggest corruption scandal in recent memory. As many as 60 members of Congress may be implicated in the massive network of payoffs, phony nonprofit foundations, and other criminal activities up to and including murder. None of this is especially surprising, and certainly libertarians, such as myself, are hardly shocked at the sight of public officials and private deal-makers enmeshed in a Dionysian orgy of brazen greed. There is one aspect of all this, however, that is especially interesting to foreign policy aficionados, and that is Abramoff’s connections to the far right wing of Israel’s Likud Party, the "settler" movement, and, here in America, Israel’s amen corner in the conservative movement.

Because the guy went to some large gatherings with GW? Doubt it. The Dems and I guess from what gnjsdad is posting, the antiwar crowd (closet Dems?) will play it for all its worth. And I don’t blaim them, we would too, (that’s politics). But I think it is a problem on the Hill. BTW, it has always been a problem on the Hill and somehow it needs to be cleaned up from there.
 
I am clearly not a fan of the President, but I think this won’t blow back at all.

I was at a small rally for Mayor Daley when he was running for state’s attorney and we shook hands and talked for a minute, I’m sure he couldn’t have told you 10 minutes later who I was.

As I understand it, only the White House is allowed to do that! and then only as a prelude to war!

Oh surely you exaggerate. I don’t think you need to look as far afield as that!
