No Surprise
Surprise.
The White House had stronger ties to disgraced superlobbyist Jack Abramoff than it has publicly admitted, according to a draft congressional report released Monday.
President Bush met Abramoff on at least four occasions the White House has yet to acknowledge, according to the draft report by the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee.
And White House officials appeared as comfortable going to Abramoff and his lobbyists seeking tickets to sporting and entertainment events, as they did seeking input on personnel picks for plum jobs, the report found.
President Bush himself met Abramoff on at least six occasions, the report said, citing White House documents; the White House had previously acknowledged only two.
When questions were first raised about Abramoff's connection to Bush officials in January 2006, then-White House spokesman Scott McClellan said Bush had personally met Abramoff on just two occasions, both at White House Hanukkah receptions.
McClellan told reporters there had also been "a few staff-level meetings" between officials and Abramoff and his team, but declined to provide more information.
That number was significantly higher, White House lawyer Emmet Flood indicated in correspondence to committee chairman Henry Waxman, D-Calif., two years later, according to the draft report. Flood's letter identified six photographs of Bush with Abramoff or Abramoff's family members.

Well!
I won't be voting for Bush in November, that's for sure!

ah, the talking parrot posts...like clockwork
Joy - if anything, it will disgrace him out of public reality. He won't have the influence that other former Presidents have. He'll be pushed away like Nixon was.

Yup. Same joke.
And, I'll keep making it every time I see this same sort of whine.

You have no clue who my heroes may be.
But, keep trying to guess, it is immensely entertaining.

Ck, where did anyone but you talk about voting for Bush in this thread? This is about someone who is still fouling up our country, TODAY. You do get that, right? He's still in office, running the free world, right?
