Don't lock the door, Grover's coming over
But perhaps they should have hidden the silver. Grover being noted anarchist and BFF of Jack Abramoff, Grover Norquisling. Thanks to the settlement of a lawsuit brought by the Democratic Party and Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, the White House visitors logs have been made public. And what a rogues gallery of visitors it was!
White House officials say Norquist, who runs the nonprofit Americans for Tax Reform, was cleared for 97 visits to the White House complex between 2001 and 2006 - a couple of times a month if spread evenly over the five-year period.So thanks to the Democrats and the CREW crew, we now know how many visits from ciminal elements and known associates were made to this White House. But not to worry, as ODEL and his crew know, IOKIYAR.
A half-dozen of the visits were to events that involved the president....
....[Ralph] Reed, former executive director of the Christian Coalition and an unsuccessful candidate for lieutenant governor in Georgia earlier this year, got 18 meetings, including two events with Bush.....
....The White House also released records showing White House appointments landed by some of Abramoff's former lobbying associates.
Among them, Neil Volz, a former aide to Ohio Republican Rep. Bob Ney, had 18 appointments, including one to attend a large event featuring Bush on Sept. 11, 2001, that was canceled because of the terrorist attacks. Volz has pleaded guilty to conspiring to corrupt Ney and others with trips and other largess.
Another - Tony Rudy, a former aide to then-Texas Republican Rep. Tom DeLay - had 13, none with Bush. Rudy has pleaded guilty to conspiring with Abramoff.
