USA Today describes Bush and Abramoff as 'close' in 2003 |
|
USA TODAY hmmmm, I wonder if the bushies demanded a retraction??
July 29, 2003, Tuesday, FINAL EDITION
Pg. 11A
HEADLINE: GOP's DeLay garners influence
BYLINE: Kathy Kiely
DATELINE: WASHINGTON
There are some who think that DeLay enables ,Bush, to resist more concessions to the Palestinians. "Tom's position helps the president maintain a pro-Israel , stance," says Jack ,Abramoff,, a Washington lobbyist and fundraiser who's close to both men.
Is it all a sign that DeLay might be preparing to go for the speaker's job , when Hastert decides to retire? Some members of Congress think it's possible. , Still others hope DeLay aims even higher. "There are tens of thousands of people who pray that one day he's president," ,Abramoff, says.

"There are tens of thousands of people who pray that one day he (DeLay) is president," Abramoff, says.
As the late Edward G. Robinson said in "The Ten Commandments":
"Where's your messiah NOW?"
(Maybe they'll wind up with adjoining cells, and they can discuss it amongst themselves ...)

What pet name do you suppose GW Bush has for his CLOSE pal, Abramoff?
(I bet George Clooey wasnt the first person to refer to the corrupt lobbyist as," Jack Off".)
