Is the President Brain-Addled?

 

Jack Abramoff, until a few months ago, was the most powerful lobbyist on Capitol Hill.  He was more successful in funneling money into the hands of Republican legislative candidates than most major political action committees.  He was successful in pushing the agenda of his clients in Congress, and sometimes extremely helpful in pushing the Republican agenda.  Nonetheless, the President claims he doesn't know Jack Abramoff, a man he had frequently not simply seen but photographed with, a man absolutely instrumental in the functioning of Republican politics in Washington in recent years.  Either the President is suffering from an undiagnosed case of Alzheimer's, or otherwise brain-addled, or else he's lying.

I'd never claim the President is lying, without, you know...proof.  Like him lying about why we went to war.  (Okay, it's possible he didn’t know he was lying.  Maybe he was confused over what the meaning of the word "have".  Still, he told untruths.  A lie is a lie is a lie.)  So...for the President's own sake, he urgently needs to get a brain scan.  Because there's something going terribly wrong up there.

Tullycraft-Girl About Town  What is twee?  I don't know, exactly, but I know it when I hear it.  And the uncrowned kings of twee are undoubtedly the good people of Tullycraft.  From their excellent 2005 album, "Disenchanted Hearts Unite".
