Kim Eisler on “Jack Knows George”

Kim Eisler, national editor for the Washingtonian magazine recently made public some details of his relationship with Jack Abramoff. Snippets of emails that Eisler received from Abramoff have made quite a stir in the blogosphere, as they were first published on ThinkProgress on February 8.
In a bit of a Democratic Daily exclusive, Eisler left a comment in my thread here on the story, “Jack Knows George,” a short time ago. After confirming that the comment was indeed from Kim Eisler, and sharing some further thoughts on this with him, I am posting his comment here on our front page (which clarifies his comments in WaPo) with his thanks (and a couple of typo edits):
