Ken Mehlman: Abramoff is our rock star!

Who's scrambling now?

The GOP is scrambling over Jack Abramoff's unprecedented access to the White House. And smarmy Ken Mehlman just outright says what others may have felt:

In an email exchange from November 2001 (you can see it here), Abramoff associate Tony Rudy writes Abramoff, "Mehlman said he would 'take care of this.' He was a rock star." Abramoff replies: "He's great." (Thanks, TMP)

Jack Abramoff In the House

Who's LYING now?

No! Not the White House! They "barely knew" our favorite wannabe gangsta, Jack Abramoff, right? WRONG. Turns out, he was there hundreds of times....liar, liar, pants on fire...

Here "...The report from the Republican-led House Government Affairs Committee stated that Abramoff had as many as 485 contacts with the White House, and prime among his lobbying targets was former White House political director Ken Mehlman, and Bush's adviser Karl Rove. Of those 485 contacts, 345 were described as meetings or other in-person contacts; 71 were described as phone conversations and 69 were e-mail exchanges."
