Look! I have new genitals!
A Washington Post editorial actually calls on the White House to come clean about Preznit Integritude's meetings with indicted criminal Jack Abramoff.
[A]sking about Mr. Abramoff's White House meetings is no mere exercise in reportorial curiosity but a legitimate inquiry about what an admitted felon might have been seeking at the highest levels of government. Whatever White House officials did or didn't do, there is every reason to believe that Mr. Abramoff was up to no good and therefore every reason the public ought to know with whom he was meeting.
[WH spokesliar Snott] McClellan dismisses requests for the information as an effort to play "partisan politics" - but Republicans wouldn't stand for this kind of stonewalling if the situation were reversed. We can say that with confidence because history proves it. During the 1996 scandal over foreign fundraising in the Clinton White House, Republicans demanded -- and obtained, though not without a fight -- extensive information about White House coffees and other meetings, including photos and videotapes.
[G]et all of Mr. Abramoff's dealings with the Bush White House and the Bush administration out in the open -- now.
