It keeps getting worse for Reed with respect to something called telling the truth. The Washington Post's take.

Today's Washington Post reported this with regard to Ralph Reed:

Material released yesterday also appeared to undermine assertions by former Christian Coalition executive director Ralph Reed, now a candidate for Georgia lieutenant governor.

Reed has acknowledged receiving $4 million from Abramoff and Scanlon to run anti-gambling campaigns in the South. Reed has said he did not know where the funds were coming from, but e-mails suggest that he was aware that some of the money he was getting came from the casino-rich Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians.

I spared my readers of the details of Jim Galloway's article today. Most probably don't care about the exact chapter and verses, but there is one thing I do believe that Georgians care about. Did the man tell us the truth or did he lie. Based on the ongoing hearings in Washington and the e-mails that were released yesterday, it appears that Mr. Reed did the latter. This Georgians will care about.

And I need to throw this in as an afterthought. Jim Galloway may yet get a Pulitizer on his reporting of this matter, and I am serious about this, very serious. Thanks for a good and thorough job of investigative reporting Jim.
