Posted on Mar 8, 2006

AP:

Abramoff said he finds it hard to believe Bush doesn’t remember the 10 or so photos he and members of his family had snapped with the president and first lady.

While Karl Rove tried to distance himself from Jack, he did admit that he knew a long time ago when they were both involved in America’s version of Hitler’s Youth, young republicans. At least he admitted Jack was a Republican and didn’t try to blame him on the Democrats.
This will expose the downside of fundies of all religions with the Jew Jack tied in with the anals of the Christian wrong.
