I thought Ken Mehlman "didn't know" Jack Abramoff (via Atrios).
One exchange of e-mails cited in the report suggests that former Abramoff lobbying team member Tony C. Rudy succeeded in getting Mehlman to press reluctant Justice Department appointees to release millions of dollars in congressionally earmarked funds for a new jail for the Mississippi Choctaw tribe, an Abramoff client. Rudy wrote Abramoff in November 2001 e-mails that Mehlman said he would "take care of" the funding holdup at Justice after learning from Rudy that the tribe made large donations to the GOP.I'm sure we'll hear that Howard Dean did the same thing for Abramoff, since both parties are equally corrupt. Right Putz?
