Abramoff bills client for lunch date with Bush- So they met? TX Observer
Although the White House insists President Bush never met Jack Abramoff -- except maybe at large gatherings -- the Texas Observer reports that in May 2001, Abramoff "charged two of his clients $25,000 for a White House lunch date and a meeting with the President."

6. Actually, the Pimp article is dated 6/10/2005..they were ahead
It's just that the info is just NOW surfacing into MSM and online blogs, etc.... It's the MSM and online sites that are way behind, not the TX Observer.

10. remember how LOUDLY they bitched about sleep overs in the Lincoln bedroom?
The lesson the GOP never learned, but needs to, what goes around. . . .

The hypocracy of these people has astonished me for 5 years. I hate these guys.
