WASHINGTON -- President Bush today acknowledged that he met former lobbyist Jack Abramoff, who has pleaded guilty to federal corruption charges, but the president characterized the brief encounter as a "grip and grin" photo session during a holiday party.
"But I've never sat down with him and had a discussion with the guy," Bush said. "I frankly don't even remember having my picture taken with the guy. I don't know him."
Bush also rejected the notion of detailing possible contacts between Abramoff and members of the senior White House staff, saying he preferred to let federal prosecutors conduct their own investigation.
Once again, they're using the Chick McGee defense: "Don't tape anything, don't write anything down, DENY, DENY, DENY." Even though we know that the two knew each other and have evidence that Jack bought some influence at the White house, they just keep lying.
Sooner or later, someone's gonna call the chimp up on his lies, and then it's all over for the Bush Regime. They'll crumble like semi-hard cheese.
