Mike Pence (R-IN): Bush is "a man of unimpeachable integrity"

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Republican lawmakers urged President George W. Bush on Sunday to release records of White House contacts with convicted lobbyist Jack Abramoff, the center of a mushrooming probe into influence peddling.

But the White House stood firm that the records, including photographs of Bush with Abramoff, are irrelevant, and that federal prosecutors have not even asked for them. In making the case for disclosure, Sen. Chuck Hagel (news, bio, voting record), a Nebraska Republican, said, "Get it out."

"Why give -- if you want to talk about it in strict political terms -- why give the Democrats an opportunity, or the press to keep this story going?" Hagel told ABC's television show "This Week."

"Absolutely," Mike Pence, an Indiana Republican, told "Fox News Sunday" when asked if records should be released. "I think this president is a man of unimpeachable integrity. The American people have profound confidence in him," Pence said. But Pence added, "as Abraham Lincoln said, give the people the facts and republican governance, perhaps, will be saved."

7. And Mike Pence seems to be...

... a man of limitless delusions.

If he really thinks the American public has "profound confidence" in Bush, then he hasn't been looking at the polls. For a long, long time.

Obviously Pence has incredibly low standards of what integrity is, because he would not have said that.
