Way back when, Rep. Dana Rohrabacher (R-CA) justified getting tons of free dinners at Jack Abramoff's restaurant Signatures by claiming that, heck, he took Jack out a lot too. So it all came out in the wash, you might say.

Now Kyle "Dusty" Foggo seems to be trying that same line out to explain all the largesse he got from Brent Wilkes.

Does Dusty have to credit Dana for first using the excuse? You know, sort of like reporters. This bogus excuse, first used by Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, is the one I'll use to explain this apparent bribes and/or illegal gratuities.
