Did you hear why Abramoff wore a hat?

[Hamlette]

it was religious...jewish orthadox. He wanted to show he was a religious man and just came off looking like a mafia guy. Ummmm....religion as the new mafia.

[babylonsister]

1. A jarmulke might have worked better!

:rofl:

[hlthe2b]

2. Yes... I'm sure he'll have lots of support among observant Jews

for this little gesture that smears them with his misdeeds by association...What a jerk :eyes:

[MidwestTransplant]

23. only people who were already bigoted would believe that

this further justifies their position of hate.

[hlthe2b]

25. my point exactly....

How long before it becomes the next Freeper meme? :eyes:

[undeterred]

3. I thought maybe he falls on his head like Bush falls on his face.

:shrug:

[Sydnie]

4. Funny, I saw some news footage yesterday of him

walking down the street, and he wasn't wearing a hat that day. Is he only religious when he thinks he is in trouble?

Another fair weather heathen, is he?

[Poll_Blind]

7. Sydnie, you are so spot-on with that comment!

Sadly, there are so many who are religious only when it fits their plans. Judaism, like all religions I've been exposed to, has some seedier parts that can be construed as giving you license to do what you want. I'm an athiest and I still have to slam shit-eaters like him for wrapping themselves in a religion for their own purposes.

11. LOL

And one day he wore a baseball hat.

[peekaloo]

20. Jon Stewart said he was an Orthodox Jew 24/6.

:-)

[Poll_Blind]

31. I think what he meant was that, if he was an orthodox Jew he could...

...only cause havoc 6 days of the week because he would have to observe the Sabbath.

5. He has a new hat now. a beige baseball cap

I think his lawyers advised him to change hats with the mafia don story going around. He does look sinister doesn't he?

[TheBaldyMan]

6. I thought it was so he had something to talk through n/t

[DemonFighterLives]

29. That's a good one!

:rofl:

[yknot]

8. Ye olde ASSHAT?

[Blue Belle]

9. Wearing a hat doesn't show your religious piousness...

your actions and the compassion and respect toward your fellow man does. A truly religious person wouldn't have made the choices he did. If perception of religious piety is the reason he wore the hat, it makes him look even more ridiculous.

[FreedomAngel82]

13. Exactly

[FreedomAngel82]

10. I told my dad

he looked like Inspector Gadget. :shrug:

[JohnnyRingo]

12. I thought he was protecting his scalp

After what he did to the Tigua tribe, he should think about it.

[DemonFighterLives]

14. I thought the hat was a sign for his co-conspirators

but I have no proof. Spooky though, I had to search for the picture in my mind, though it is not a perfect match.



The ballcap was quite a change - I haven't figured out what these corrupted souls ar up to.

21. Like the Umbrella Man from the Kennedy Assassination

The hat was so damn out of place that it hit me as an omen, like the jig is up. Then the immediate switch to the ballcap.- he's just a good ole boy.
Mixed signals- what the heck is going on?

[KoKo]

24. WaPo writer said Abramoff loves movies and his life reads like a

sensational movie. So his wearing "costumes" would fit in with that. He was playing a part with two different costumes.

Good point about him being a "good ole boy" in Miami. I would have thought that he'd play the gangster in Miami rather than vice versa given Miami's reputation and that it was a "ganland style" murder.

[DemonFighterLives]

28. The ballcap didn't go with the suit very well

Either he is acting for some reason or he is a total nerdball. He fits right in with dubby and delay ship of fools.
I hope he gets pinned for murder too. CNN was reporting the Sun Cruz disagreements before the dude(forgot his name) was found shot in his blockaded car.
:wow:

[rpannier]

15. On the Daily Show International Jon Stewart said

"When you go into court it's best to look like a 30's gangster."

[AndyTiedye]

16. I Assumed It Was Made of Kevlar (TM)

Of course he is a Mafia guy! Gambino crime family, casino boats, making his rivals swim with the fishes and all.
He doesn't want to swim with the fishes himself.

[DoYouEverWonder]

17. Don't you just hate those fashion malfunctions

You're try so hard to dress up and send a certain message and it just comes off all wrong.

[Cocoa]

19. I thought it was to hide the horns

26. And which religious Jew was he trying to look like?

Meyer Lansky, perhaps?

[TahitiNut]

27. I believe it was to make him recognizable to security teams.

In the event he needed extraction from an assassination attempt, such plainly visible headgear would make him very visible.

[Coastie for Truth]

30. My grand father - who was a very very Leftie Rabbi

(Back in the Depression when there were lots and lots of leftie clergy) used to say that "The more crooked they are - the louder they pray."

In Yiddish he worked together two words - proste and ganiv - (Filth and crook)

[earth mom]

32. Abramoff looked like a total gangsta to me. eom

[Imagevision]

33. Dandy Jack has been watching too many re-runs of the Godfather

then he saw the footage of just what the hell he looked like and decided to go the baseball cap route to throw everyone off.

[0007]

34. Bullet proof too!

[Colorado Blue]

35. WHAT?

[Colorado Blue]

36. Would we be talking like this if Abramoff were Irish?

Think about it.

39. Absolutely! and if he were "Scots" we'd be talking about Kilt Colors as

to which clan he was representing.

Hey...this stuff matters....:shrug:
