Boehner lied

[cal04]

REP. BOEHNER: No. Those tribes gave money to my political action committee. It had nothing to do with Jack Abramoff. I didn’t know Jack Abramoff. I may have met him once. I had no relationship to him, and the money that I raised from those tribes had nothing to do with him. I worked with those Indian tribes and others on education issues, on labor issues, and he had nothing to do with it, so why would I—why would I give the money back?

MR. RUSSERT: But had you ever received a nickel from those tribes before they were represented by Jack Abramoff?

REP. BOEHNER: I have no idea.
MR. RUSSERT: The answer’s no.
REP. BOEHNER: I—well, no. Other people represented those tribes as well. Understand, Jack Abramoff, knowing that
MR. RUSSERT: But they didn’t give you—they didn’t give you money until they were represented by Abramoff.
REP. BOEHNER: No. I became chairman of the Educational Workforce Committee in 2001, where I began to work closely with them on their issues. I had nothing—Jack Abramoff didn’t like me. I didn’t do earmarks, the things that he exploited for his own political and financial gain.
MR. RUSSERT: According to his records, however, there were 17 contacts between his lobbying team and your staff and—and a meeting with you also.
REP. BOEHNER: Some of his under—underlings worked with some low-level employees in my office. I’m telling you, I never met the man. The money didn’t come through him. And, frankly, I think four out of the five tribes have written us a letter at our request saying that the money they gave had nothing to do with Jack Abramoff.

1. I'd personally like just one example

of when they HAVEN'T lied about something.

2. I don't know; I think * said he liked dogs once....

3. Exactly...

And on a trivial matter, why does everyone go along and call Mr. Boehner, "Mr. Bayhner"? It's clearly spelled "Mr. Boner"...

4. Mark 14:72

"And the second time the cock crew. And Peter called to mind the word that Jesus said unto him. Before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice. And when he thought thereon, he wept."

Abramoff was their savior, greasing the wheels of their cout-d'etat. Now that he's in custody, they know him not.
