Am I the last one to know Jack Abramoff was a film producer?

[Oeditpus Rex]

And that the films were bankrolled by the pro-apartheid South African military?

Just heard about it on Bill Moyers.

1. I had heard that prior to Moyer's tonight. But what a beautiful

job Moyers did of connecting everyone and their hubris.

2. I thank Dog for Moyers and Frontline

They're the only teevee news shows I know of that don't have an agenda.

6. Is there anything this guy didn't do?

7. It's possible, but Highly unlikely.

He produced "RED Scorpion" With Dolph Lundgren!

9. Also remember that Abramoff sent lots of money to the IDF.

The link between Israel and pro-Apartheid S. Africa is well documented with ties between Israeli shipments of weapons to So. Africa during the height of apartheid. The sleaze is circular and many of these people make up the group known as the "neocons."

10. Abramoff made porno films

[mykpart]

11. I sure didn't know.

Maybe he produced Path to 9/11!

12. This was in Al Franken's book "The Truth: With Jokes", and covered

very well I might add. The book is highly recommended.

13. No apparently I am... that would explain the fedora and trench coat

I remember thinking when I saws that footage with him in the black hat and trench coat - "what role does this guy think he's playing ? "

14. No, you're REALLY not the last one to know!

Thank you for bringing up the subject.

He's vile enough WITHOUT his ties to the old, apartheid-loving South Africa. It's only ugly icing on a very ugly cake.

[soothsayer]

15. Nope, you just told me, too!
