Conrad Burns scandal is a huge story

The corruption saga surrounding Senator Conrad Burns (R-MT) is a national an international story:

Members of the Senate are also feeling pressure over their ties to Abramoff.

Last month, Democratic leaders in Montana demanded that Senator Conrad Burns, Republican of Montana, who is considered vulnerable in his re-election bid next year, return $137,000 in donations from Abramoff and his tribal clients.

Ouch. Across the pond they are talking about the vulnerability of Montana's junior senator.
