He's just glad they didn't catch him yet

(Quote): "I find the Gates directed Washington Post (Melinda Gates is a Director) trying to deflect the attention of DeLay's resignation from the Gates family law and lobby firm - Preston Gates and Ellis, to anyone such as Delay worthy of discussion.

Preston Gates is the firm that groomed Abramoff for his meteoric lobby career. It was formed in 1995 by Bill Gates Sr. to help Microsoft through its permatemp and antitrust issues.

The trade secrets Abramoff learned at Preston Gates and used with folks such as Delay likely included astroturfing and pay-for-content on Blogs and in the printed press as well is the use of charitable foundations, such as the Gates Foundation, for influence peddling. The Gates Foundation contributed to Abramoff charities."(unquote)
