HI, MOM: I'M IN JAIL Abramoff • Abramoff to the slammer: Former Republican super-lobbyist and Dick Tracy wardrobe-raider Jack Abramoff has checked into his new home for the next six years: A federal prison in Cumberland, Maryland.
• Also going to the hoosegow: James Barker, who pleaded guilty to the rape of an Iraqi girl and the murder of her family in March. Barker was one of four soldiers accused in the attack.
• Cellies! Another Enron executive, Richard Causey, is headed to jail. What is all this? Viral marketing for Let's Go to Prison?
• Write your own joke here: Sacha Baron Cohen is bringing Borat, his anti-Semitic Kazakh character to Israel. At least he's not going to jail.... Yet.
