Abramoff: I WAS SWIFT-BOATED!
Washingtonian magazine editor Kim Eisler, a personal friend of Jack Abramoff's, has posted excerpts from old emails he received from the imprisoned former lobbyist.
Nothing particularly new -- Abramoff is modest about his golfing abilities, and immodest about his power, access, and tickets to sporting events -- but they're a fun read nonetheless.
"Sue Schmidt is making a career out of me," Abramoff wailed to Eisler in a September 2004 e-mail, reacting to the Washington Post reporter unfurling the evidence against him in her paper. "seems [sic] I am on the front page of the Post more than Kerry is. She's my swift boat veterans all rolled into one." (Schmidt later won a Pulitzer prize for her reporting on the Abramoff scandal.)

Our job is to remove them from power permanently." - No wonder the GOP likes him so much. Bush doesn't seem to know Jack Schitt, but I'll bet dollars to donuts he knows Jack Abramoff.

As far as I am concerned, he is a traitor to this country and really should keep his mouth shut. Perhaps someone in his prison can teach him humility and remorse. I doubt it, but it would be nice!!!!

Gosh. Just like Kerry, Abramoff was "swiftboated" by the truth.
Perhaps "swiftboating" is on it's way to it's rightful status as a commendable enterprise.
