Uhhhhh, ah don't know jack...

Although White House spokesliar Scott McClellan claims lobbyist/crook Jack Abramoff only met with administration staff two or three times, the scandal ridden buyer of influence enjoyed frequent private meetings with President Bush, who referred to Abramoff as “one of this administration’s greatest friends.”

McClellan [also] fails to mention Abramoff’s frequent visits to the President’s home in Crawford, Texas, the private meetings that the lobbyist arranged with the President on the 2004 campaign trail and at the Republican National Convention that year, and the origin of his nickname 'Floffy-moffy.'

Abramoff kept a photo of himself with Bush, shot at Crawford, in his office in Washington. The autograph from Bush said “to my great friend Jack.

Dale Knally, a campaign worker in the 2004 Bush-Cheney re-election campaign, recalls a meeting between Bush and Abramoff during a campaign stop in Florida.

“He put his arm around Abramoff and told us that ‘this man is one of this administration’s greatest friends,’” Knally recalls.

“That campaign taught me that I never wanted anything to do with the Bush administration or politics again,” Knally said. “No matter how many showers I took, I couldn’t wash away the stench.”
