Bush met with Abramoff six times!

Previously Acknowledged Only Two Meetings
The White House had stronger ties to disgraced superlobbyist Jack Abramoff than it has publicly admitted, according to a draft congressional report released Monday.

President Bush met Abramoff on at least four occasions the White House has yet to acknowledge, according to the draft report by the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee.

And White House officials appeared as comfortable going to Abramoff and his lobbyists seeking tickets to sporting and entertainment events, as they did seeking input on personnel picks for plum jobs, the report found.

Bush himself met Abramoff on at least six occasions, the report said, ...
Bush flat-out lied about his relationship with Jack Abramoff. At a January 26, 2006 press conference, Bush said “You know, I, frankly, don’t even remember having my picture taken with the guy. I don’t know him.”

How many of these egregious lies by Bush equal lying about consensual sex?
