Abramoff On Burns: Staff Used Signatures "As A cafeteria"

Vanity Fair's David Margolick has interviewed Jack Abramoff, and everything -- everything -- is on the table.

We'll post excerpts throughout the morning, but here's what the lobbyist says about Sen. Conrad Burns: "Every appropriation we wanted [from Burns's committee] we got. Our staffs were as close as they could be. They practically used Signatures as their cafeteria. I mean, it's a little difficult for him to run from that record."

BTW: Here's more intrepid work by the Billings Gazette

what is a "cafetria"?
Do you mean cafeteria??

Hunh, some "cafeteria," given Signatures' prices. It was the only glatt kosher eatery in downtown Washington at the time, so before the sleazeball ownership became apparent, we took guests who were strictly observant of Kashrut there, and recommended Signatures to others. What a retroactive bellyache we all have! Feh! Feh!

Nancy, isn't it wonderful that you've never accidentally left a letter out while you typed. It must be great to be so perfect. Too bad your childish attitude doesn't mimic your perfect typing.
