So, if Bush realllllly doesn't know Jack Abramoff...
How in hell did Abramoff not only arrange face to face meetings with bush for his clients and was able to charge 25,000.00 for them to meet a total stranger?

If a complete stranger can command 25 grand to arrange a meeting with Bush, how much does a friend collect for the same service?

4. In one report, he and Abramoff had a conversation where Bush
commented that he and Abie were alike because they are both fathers of twins.
If he doesn't know jack (shit OR Abramoff) how does he know Jack is a father of twins?

6. I'm being sarcastic, but think of how many people have raised 100k or more
for him... could he possibly know them all personally?

10. Sure! That's mostly what he does on vacation. He hangs out with rich
Republican contributors at their fundraisers. He campaigns all the time.

11. It's obvious they weren't friends.
jack plead guilty. When a FOS(friend of Shrub) commits a crime or acts with incompetence, they tend to get promoted.

13. There are only 350 Bush* Pioneers (spread out across the country)
Every time Bush* trots off to one of the states, guess who gets to hobnob with him?

Plus, the Pioneers spent a fortune on inaugural balls and parties in 2000 and in 2004.

And don't forget that Abramoff & Rove were both College Repub presidents: that's where the real connection is...

and the real power & access.

14. Did * actually deny knowing "Jack Abramoff", or
Edited on Tue Jan-24-06 03:48 PM by SeattleVet
did he actually just say something like "I don't know Jack!".

There is a difference. If the prior - he lied. If the latter - well, we all knew that anyway.
