Ha Ha Ha...Dont Mess Wit Indianz!

Hey we know it's been a while but do you guys remember some white lady who worked on the Hill and sent out a loving e-mail about Indianz to all her Hill staffer friends? Her name is Ann M. Copland and it looks like she's about to be indicted for her role in the Jack Abramoff scandal!

A former deputy to Jack Abramoff was charged Wednesday in the lobbyist corruption scandal, accused of wining and dining public officials and showering them with other gifts to win favors for clients.
The government says Todd Boulanger gave government aides "a stream of things of value," including all-expense-paid travel, tickets to professional sports and concerts and nights out at expensive restaurants, to reward and influence actions that would benefit his clients. He was charged with conspiracy to commit wire fraud.
...
Court documents say Boulanger, Abramoff and another lobbyist named Kevin Ring tried to get gifts for a legislative assistant in the Senate, described as "Staffer E," who was in a position to help with legislation benefiting the Mississippi tribe. An attorney with knowledge of the case, who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the ongoing investigation, said "Staffer E" is Ann Copland, a former aide to Sen. Thad Cochran, R-Miss.

Now we're not gloating or anything but the timeline is clear: She made fun of Indianz, "quit" her job in the Senate to work somewhere else and now she's connected to the biggest Washington scandal in decades. Just sayin!!
