Paul flagged this today in the Daily Muck. But in case you're not reading the best daily run-down of corruption news on the web (yeah, if we don't say so ourselves), check out Sen. Conrad Burns (R-MT) new counter-attack ad on the Abramoff business.

Just go to his campaign website: it starts rolling the second you land on the page.

Burns' best line from the spot: you can't trust the attack ads showing Burns' multitudinous connections to Jack Abramoff because they're paid for by people who got money from Abramoff's clients. Abramoff, Burns reminds us, is "the guy who ripped off his Indian clients for millions and lied to anybody and everybody."

(Above, Burns zaps Democratic attack ad with TV remote control gizmo.)

Burns: So, you can't believe the ads that document my connections to Jack Abramoff because they're funded by people who got money from Abramoff's clients. And Abramoff's a lying rat bastard. So I'm in the clear.
