Who's Sorry Now?
It's so blatant. The Jackster was so over the top it's almost not news about what he was up to. What IS news is how the idiots around him fell under his spell. BTW, just for the record, we still maintain that Jack has some criminal connection to the murder of Gus Boulis, of SunCruz Casino fame.
Anyway, this latest round of emails is too funny (well, not funny in a ha-ha way, but in a "you've got to be kidding" way). Appears our favorite wannabe gangsta loved a bargain. And admits he's fat. We agree. Your trenchcoat outfit on "guilty" day was a tad too tight and made you look like a pudgy Al Capone hanger-on. Sorry dude.
WaPo here "Lobbyist Jack Abramoff gained renown in Washington for both his big fees and his big spending, but that didn't mean he couldn't look for a bargain.
On Aug. 21, 2002, he sent an e-mail to his friend David H. Safavian, chief of staff at the General Services Administration. "I have a need to buy a stretch limo for the restaurant," Abramoff wrote, referring to Signatures, the downtown establishment he owned. "Are there any coming up on any of the GSA drug property sales?" ...Abramoff wrote back: "Well. I am such a sweltering hog, that perhaps just lunch, though I will bring my stuff downtown and, if I feel I won't keel over with a heart attack, and you are still in the mood, we can do both. I am telling you, I have never been so fat. Never."
