RNC's Ed Gillespie's never even heard of Jack Abramoff
it's hilarious to watch the republicans fall all over themselves to say that they've never met or ever heard of anyone named jack abramhoff.

there will be a lot of this type of denial going on, but it don't fool me out here in stupid land.

3. How about that "Dem" that just called in to tell Gillespie
that Gillespie is just brilliant and that he believes Alito will be confirmed for various R talking point reasons?

4. Forgetting names of friends is an early sign of Alzheimer's
Maybe Ed should step down and get some medical help!

7. liar
On an Oct. 15, 2003, CNBC broadcast, journalist Alan Murray asked Ed Gillespie, then chairman of the Republican National Committee, about fundraising by "people like Jack Abramoff, who represents Indian tribes here," and another lobbyist whose name I'll leave out because he has not been implicated in any scandals. "Are you going to sit here and tell us that their contributions to your party have nothing to do with their lobbying efforts in Washington?"

"I know Jack Abramoff," Gillespie replied. He mentioned the other lobbyist and insisted: "They are Republicans; they were Republicans before they were lobbyists. . . . I think they want to see a Republican reelected in the White House in 2004 more than anything."
