WASHINGTON — Secret Service records made public Wednesday show just two White House visits in the past five years by convicted lobbyist Jack Abramoff. He stayed a total of 63 minutes, 29 seconds.

The documents are, by the White House's acknowledgment, an incomplete accounting of Abramoff's meetings with administration officials. They were released in connection with a lawsuit by the conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch, which had been seeking the records to determine the frequency of Abramoff's contacts with President Bush and others

I have heard a number of wild charges that Abramoff made dozens of visits to the White House and met one on one with President Bush a number of times. Some democrats are promising penetrating investigations of Abramoff at the WH if they regain control of congress.

Huh? An hour total for two visits? Your average tourist spends more time in the White House.

It was probably only that long because he had to reload his camera with film.

Looks like there's not much for the democrats to get excited about.

The DUmbasses claim they have proof Abermoff was there 211 times (of course, they never post links to support it.)

So in between discussions about how to plant WMD's in Iraq and how to cover up the government sponsored demolition of the WTC, they met with Abramoff to discuss how to skim millions of dollars from casinos?


Sounds reasonable to me. Right Kos?

Maybe Abermoff was paying Bush off to open the borders and sell the US to Mexico simply to piss off the Conservative base... //sarcasm

Liberal attack dogs start out with a lie, start repeating it over and over and then are outraged about the non response to falsehoods by the administration and, yes, it gets equated to a non existent cover up.

The question from the Washington Press Corps will be: Has the Bush administration stopped meeting with Abramoff dozens of times?

I love the way Foxnews did a CYA in the title just in case they find out he went to the restroom and they didn't count that against his time.

I have heard those kooks making all the false claims. They'll continue repeating all the lies and start demanding for an investigation on who falsified the Secret Service reports, and was Karl Rove and Dick Cheney involved in forging reports.

I'm still interested in who from the other side of the aisle met with Abramoff and for how long.

I was just thinking the same thing. I think the tour took at least an hour or two.
