More quotes by Jack Abramoff
As a lobbyist, I was completely against term limits, and I know a lot of people are against term limits, and I was one of the leaders, because why? As a lobbyist, once you buy a congressional office, you don't have to re-buy that office in six years, right?

Jack Abramoff
Well, I don't think most Americans are playing the super-PAC game. I think what you have is elites on both sides playing the super-PAC game.
Jack Abramoff
Access is vital in lobbying. If you can't get in your door, you can't make your case.
Jack Abramoff
In the past two years, I've started the process of becoming a new man. I am much chastened and profoundly remorseful over the reckless and hurtful things I have done in my life, especially those which have brought me before you today.
Jack Abramoff
I don't pay much attention to sports.
Jack Abramoff
Well, I think the great tragedy in American politics is what is legal, not what is illegal.
