Scandalous! A Post in Three Parts

I. Jack Abramoff claims that the President, "saw me in almost a dozen settings, and joked with me about a bunch of things, including details of my kids." Although Abramoff was a well known Washington personality and a top fundraiser for Bush's reelection campaign, the President maintains that he cannot recall ever meeting the disgraced lobbyist.






II. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, the VP's former chief of staff, has testified that his superiors approved the leaking of classified information to the press in 2003. Libby was on intimate terms with NY Times reporter Judy Miller, who faithfully reproduced the administration's misleading stories on the front page of that august newspaper.







III. Administration officials claim they were surprised to learn on Tuesday, August 30, that the levees of New Orleans had broken. A Congressional investigation has revealed that FEMA, then managed by Michael "Brownie" Brown, was aware of breaches on Monday morning and that officials of that agency sent urgent reports to the Department of Homeland Security headquarters on Monday evening.

Would it surprise you to know that the Corp of Engineers had stacks of unfunded contracts for repair of the levees in New Orleans before Katrina? A fact I hope is not washed away like so much of New Orleans.

Scooter may emerg developing an Abramoff funded gambling palace catering to Brownie's riding club in what was the Ninth Ward projects.

you just gotta know that there is a land grab comming in New Orleans! Its already openly happening along the coast of Mississippi.
