Five Years For Abramoff

Per CBS News: A federal judge has sentenced former lobbyist Jack Abramoff to five years and 10 months in prison in his Florida fraud case.

We can't find any more details, and the TV's showing Bush rambling about Iran at the "Freedom House," which sounds like a John Mellencamp song.

Update: And in the 20 goddam minutes it took our servers to post this, the APgot their story up . "DIsgraced former lobbyist" in the lede -- someone owes us a Coke!

(note: the sentence could be reduced depending on cooperation, etc. etc. -- still, though, as his bestest media friends, we think it's totally harsh.)
