"Indian gambling lords aren't exactly a sympathetic minority," George Neumayr writes on National Review Online. "Jack Abramoff scammed scammers." Aren't you glad somebody said it? "Why did those poor innocents in the Coushatta Tribe hire Abramoff?" Neumayr asks. "For the noble purpose of driving another Indian tribe's proposed casino into the ground. Abramoff did nothing for the tribe? Not true; he helped them mistreat fellow Indians." This doesn't make Abramoff any less guilty or the Native Americans who hired him any less the victims. It is to suggest that the Indian gaming interests who paid Abramoff were hardly innocent victims. When you pay someone to do something shady to someone else, don't be surprised when your hired help does something shady to you too.

If these cas-inos were run by Italian Americans rather than Native Americans, this point would be obvious to everyone.

(No offense to the guidos out there; I'm just pointing out that some minorities suffer from bad prejudices, while others benefit from good ones.)

Long as paleface keep spending much wampum, who give buffalo's ass?
