Karl Rove says Jack Abramoff was just a casual acquaintance. That’s a Lie.
“On learning in July 2002 that Mr. Rove planned to dine at Signatures with a party of 8 to 10 people, Mr. Abramoff wrote to a colleague: ‘I want him to be given a very nice bottle of wine and have Joseph whisper in his ear (only he should hear) that Abramoff wanted him to have this wine on the house.’ In another e-mail message, Mr. Abramoff directed his restaurant staff to ‘please put Karl Rove in his usual table.’
Let’s make a list of all the little lies this administration has told. This one is still my favorite.
Q Why shouldn’t this be seen as an intelligence failure, that you were unable to predict something happening here?
DR. RICE: Steve, I don’t think anybody could have predicted that these people would take an airplane and slam it into the World Trade Center, take another one and slam it into the Pentagon; that they would try to use an airplane as a missile, a hijacked airplane as a missile.
But I know you can top it.
