Bush Denies Knowing Abramoff, DeLay, Rove, Rumsfeld, Cheney, Others - Politics - Avant News

"I did not have relations with that man, Mr. Abramoff," President Bush said.

"I never met anybody named Tom DeLay, never heard of him, sure don't have any plans to meet him," the president declared. "So any of that stuff my old friend Tom DeLay did had nothing to do with me. I also don't know anybody named, what was that again? Karl Rove? Karl Rove. I might have seen the name on a newspaper at the supermarket or in a picture at the post office, but that's it. Same thing with Scooter Libby. What the heck kind of a name is Scooter Libby, anyway? If I knew someone named Scooter, I bet you I'd remember it. So if any of these guys leaked that CIA woman, Valerie Plame's name to the press, I didn't even know the guys."

"I also never had anything to do with somebody called Donald Rumsfeld," the president continued. "If things aren't going too well in Iraq, torture, secret prisons, well, he's the one to blame, and I never met Donald Rumsfeld, so it's not my fault. Where the heck would I meet someone called Donald Rumsfeld? Paul Wolfowitz? I do not know the man. And I heard someone mention Dick Cheney. I think I seen someone named Dick Cheney at the office, but I never talked to him personally. If you might have seen pictures of me and Dick Cheney together, that's because people tell me sometimes he sneaks up behind me when I'm giving a speech, but that's it. Never heard of anybody called Halliburton, either. Or Valerie Plame."
