Mehlman continues to lie

Ken Mehlman still hasn't been honest about his relationship with Jack Abramoff

Media Matters documents "the inconsistent tale" of Mehlman and Abramoff. We'd go further and say Ken has just plain lying:
As the scandal surrounding Abramoff has inched closer to the White House, Mehlman has gone from claiming Abramoff was "someone we don't know a lot about" in January, to knowing him "in various capacities" in April and conceding that he had known Abramoff since the mid-1990s in October.
The Chair of the RNC has a major ethics issue involving the most notorious, disgraced lobbyist in recent history. Yet, Ken's flitting around the country campaigning against Democrats. How can any reporter let Mehlman get away with bashing Democrats when he has Jack Abramoff draped around his neck?

Because Mehlman was taking care of Abramoff's issue, Tony Rudy, a convicted felon/former top aide to both Abramoff and DeLay, called Mehlman a "rock star." Sure sounds like Ken delivered for them.

When will Ken tell the real story? Or will he lawyer up and shut up? Either way, Ken needs to be asked about Abramoff everywhere he goes. Everywhere.
