SMEAR CAMPAIGN!

Here comes the smear campaign: 40 something days before the 'rats get their reward.

They make me sick.

[Recovering_Democrat]

"Contacts" could mean: emails not answered, phone messages left, letters sent, telegrams, a passing nod in a hallway, whatever.

This is absolute crap. A hit job on Rove and Mehlman and Bush and Cheney.

I really really hope our President and his team weather this storm. Prayers going up for them!!

[excludethis]

THE REPUBS IN CHARGE AND THE House Government Reform Committee IS ALLOWING SUCH A REPORT TO COME OUT RIGHT BEFORE THE ELECTION, OUR REPUB CONGRESSMEN MUST BE A BUNCH OF MORONS!

[The Great RJ]

Given his long career as a lobbyist, who in Washington, Democrat or Republican didn't have contact with Abramoff? To borrow from Clinton it all depends on what the meaning of "contact" is. Would being at a cocktail party with Abramoff count as a contact? Certainly he would have been invited to White House parties etc. but hell who in Washington's elite hasn't been.

[dead]

singled out two of President Bush’s top lieutenants, Karl Rove and Ken Mehlman, as having been offered expensive meals and exclusive tickets to premier sporting events and concerts by Abramoff and his associates.

Offered? So what?

Did they accept? And if they did, was it illegal?

All the rest is worthless chatter.

[Chode]

ohhh nooooooooo... now the President will NEVER get reelected!!!

[ICE-FLYER]

OF COURSE THE REPORT DOES...its only a month before a mid-term election that the Democrats will not win sufficient numbers to take house or senate...THATS WHY!

[Jewels1091]

great, just great

[kristinn]

George Steponallofus talked about this on World News Tonight with Charles Gibson. The report also says Abramoff asked the White House to hire 20 people, but they only hired one of the twenty.

The irony of having a Clintonista who witnessed Bill and Hillary turn the White House into a campaign cash bordello for ChiCom agents and Columbian drug dealers report this story tonight was not lost on me.

[bkepley]

It's sleazy..but that's what lobbyists do.

[Zeroisanumber]

SMEAR CAMPAIGN!

"...according to a draft bipartisan report prepared by the House Government Reform Committee."

A bipartisan smear campaign?

[socal_parrot]

[demsux]

Abramoff was an equal opportunity shyster.

Both parties should get equal time on this.

[ladyinred]

And Foreign fund raisers were invited to coffee and who knows what else in the Lincoln bedroom for a price when Clinton was President, but that is okay right media? Chinese Communist money was flowing, along with our secrets!!! No problem!

[plangent]

The White House kept sayin "NO"!

[AmeriBrit]

Karl Rove and Ken Mehlman, as having been offered expensive meals and exclusive tickets to premier sporting events ========================================================

HARRY REID WASN'T ONLY OFFERED, HE EXCEPTED!

[sgtbono2002]

How many contacts did bubba have with the Chinese?

These people make you want to puke.

[woofie]

What exactly are lobbyists supposed to do? not meet with people?

[tobyhill]

From the time frame indicated it comes out to a little over 12 times a month for all of the White House staff.

In June 2001, while he was still working at the White House, Mehlman was offered two tickets to a U2 concert by Abramoff. The documents do not indicate whether Mehlman paid for the tickets or attended the concert.

U2.
Bono?

No thanks.

Thanks for posting this...

Looks like the 'Rats and mSM are close to a feeding FRenzy and will likely devour each other after November election results swing heavily to right after last minute attempts by dems backfire to further inflate "Culture of Corruption" theme in quest to regain power.
