The U.S., a wretched hive of scum and villainy.
Except for the 485 times he was there.

The White House is lashing out at a new report which says convicted lobbyist Jack Abramoff and his associates had far more extensive contacts with the White House than President Bush's staff ever acknowledged. Outside his home in Washington, D.C., Karl Rove commented exclusively to ABCNews on his dealings with Jack Abramoff. In answer to an inquiry on whether he had accepted gifts from Abramoff, Rove simply replied, "afraid not." The report from the Republican-led House Government Affairs Committee stated that Abramoff had as many as 485 contacts with the White House, and prime among his lobbying targets was former White House political director Ken Mehlman, and Bush's adviser Karl Rove.

After Abramoff pled guilty to illegal lobbying, officials at the White House said they barely new him and all they knew was what they read in the papers. The report finds 485 contacts with White House officials, including nine with the president's chief political adviser, Karl Rove.

Rove: "Oh, Jack Abramoff! I thought you said 'Jack Koff'! Oh, uh, yeah, he dropped by now and then."
 
He only contacted the White House on average about once every 4 days. Do you know how many people Karl Rove sees every day? How could he possibly keep track of ever seeing him?
