Former Washington lobbyist Jack Abramoff (L) arrives at the Miami Courthouse in Miami January 4, 2006. U.S. President George W. Bush's re-election campaign will give to charity $6,000 in contributions linked to Abramoff, the lobbyist at the center of a mounting corruption scandal, the Republican National Committee said on January 4, 2006. Abramoff pleaded guilty to fraud charges on January 3 and agreed to help U.S. prosecutors in a corruption probe that could involve several top Republican lawmakers, including former House of Representatives Majority Leader Tom DeLay of Texas.

8. I think I remember reading
that he always keeps his head covered due to the tradition of the Jewish movement he is a part of?

Interesting
though he might have a yarmulke bobby-pinned to the top of his head, I don't know. Or maybe not...

15. Wearing the yarmulke might get him some sympathy.
As in "a nice Jewish boy wouldn't do anything like this."

4. For pity's sake, did he get dressed in the dark?
Seriously, who picks this guy's outfits for him? Someone with a wild sense of humor, obviously.

A suit, tie, and ball cap. Jebus. :freak:

10. Hairplugs?
That's one reason for an omnipresent hat.

He is balding and vain...
I searched for some pix of him, sans hat, and the comb-over variations were numerous. He also has dropped weight and had been working out, a real make-over in the last year or so. The best picture I came across was this, from Mother Jones (good article, too):

14. If he's an Orthodox Jew
Edited on Wed Jan-04-06 01:15 PM by Patsy Stone
he has to keep his head covered. Maybe he thinks it was too hot down here for the fedora? Even so, with all that $$$, couldn't he find a black baseball cap?

16. You may have a point
Prehaps the one shred of dignity the man has is to spare his fellow Jews some of the backlash that might occur if he were visiably Jewish...

Then again I'd expect that from RWers and not our side...
