WASHINGTON (AP) -- Disgraced lobbyist Jack Abramoff was at federal court Thursday for sentencing in a public corruption case that upended Washington politics and contributed to the Republican loss of Congress in 2006.

Abramoff faces up to 11 years in prison for trading expensive meals, golf junkets, luxury sports tickets and other gifts for political favors. But because he became the key FBI witness in his own scandal, he and the government are asking for much less time.

"I have been thinking about this moment literally for years," Abramoff wrote a federal judge Wednesday.

He said even he is shocked to look back on what his career had become. But he said he was "not a bad man" and pleaded for leniency.

Dave Weigel of Reason Magazine published an article called Free Paulistine on September 3rd. A part of the article contains the following quote:

Here were the reporters, finally covering the Paul movement. Here’s what they were covering: Former Minnesota Gov. Jesse Ventura, a vision in a yellow T-shirt and blue blazer, aired 9/11 conspiracy theories while reporters rushed to get comments from attendees. (I walked past a New York Times reporter who was quizzing two Paul backers about controlled demolitions.)
