Yadda yadda yadda, blah blah blah. 'Abramoff' has become a rallying cry for these idiots in the media.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but....... This guy isn't and never was a bush-aide, was he?

The guy probably never met President Bush but the defeated and desperate liberal media call him Bush-Aide.

Wow, imagine that. Convicted of lying and obstructing justice. I thought every politician in Washington does this as a matter of routine.

It makes you wonder......

If harry reid or hillary clinton were convicted of such crimes, would MSNBC call them an ex-bush aide?

And how far is he down the chain of the so called Bush-Aides. How many times this man met with the President to discuss anything? I really despise the liberal media.

The WaPo isn't exactly shining with objectivity.

Besides...... Ok. What the heck is a procurement official? Is he procuring lunch? WMDs? What the heck is he procuring?

Until his resignation on the day the criminal complaint against him was signed, Safavian was the top administrator at the federal procurement office in the White House Office of Management and Budget, where he set purchasing policy for the entire government.

This was the guy that got the pizza, beer, and hookers during the Clinton era.

How does this make him a Bush-Aide. Do you know what is the definition of a Bush-Aide? There are less than 30 people in the government who can be called Bush-Aide or in general and Aide to any President.
