What’s the deal?
Dear President Bush,
Do you or don’t you know Jack Abramoff? Because he’s running around claiming you know him. And you’re claiming you don’t know him. One of you is lying. And it looks like it’s you. And that makes me wonder why you’d lie about this.
Unless you’ve done something wrong.
Because if you’ve done nothing wrong, there should be no problem with admitting you know the guy, right? The whole “I frankly don’t even remember having my picture taken with the guy” thing is pretty Clintonian. Well frankly, Mr. President, I’d be pretty damn disappointed if you start acting like your predecessor. I’d like to think you’re better than that.
Whether you know Abramoff or not, just be clear about things.
President Clinton spent way too much time telling us what he “didn’t remember.” Way too much time stonewalling and treating us as though we were too stupid to see through his lies. If he’d simply said “yeah, I know her and it’s none of your business what we did or didn’t do” then the whole perjury-impeachment thing would have been a non-issue from the start.
So take a lesson, Mr. President. Your foot is in a bear trap and it’s about to snap shut.
Tread lightly.
