i knew that emily miller had dated michael scanlon. i knew that michael scanlon had left the office and worked for abramoff. that is just something i knew about. when abramoff was first charged or when the story first broke about abramoff, i started mining that thread. it just seemed like an interesting relationship to help. >> did she talk about that relationship to you? >> no. >> michael married the 24-year- old waitress. >> they were out on the eastern shore. they have probably taken a hit on all their real-estate holdings. michael scanlon has been the big winner. >> was there a lesson in this whole abramoff story? there is a documentary and also a movie with kevin spacey coming out. >> right. the only lesson has been for staffers to watch out. a lot of the rules that were in place before are similar to rules that are in place now. the rules in place now are stricter. young staffers would be on capitol hill and sort of do what everyone else did. before there was a rule that you could not accept more than $50 in gifts or meals or spo

so this is not new by any means. >> michael gerson, you were working for george w. bush when he had to deliver these big kind of oval office speech moments. how did last night compare? how does the entire handling of this compare? >> well, i was a little bit concerned about last night. using the oval office as a setting as a high-rofile setting that spotlights the presidenciy. in the past you had john kennedy announcing a quarantine of cuba. and last night, the president seemed much more passive, much more input-oriented, he announced a czar. he announced a commission. when i was -- you know in the white house, we viewed these things as fairly weak policy inputs. you always want to push back, do something more active, more executive oriented as far as action are concerned. i thought proot had a pretty bad day yesterday, although actually a pretty good day today. i think the b.p. announcement was a good follow-up to the speech, but the speech itself was quite weak. >> when you were working for president bush you were the author of the speech delivered during katrina

andrew romanoff, who's challenging democrat incumbent michael bennet for the colorado senate democrat nomination, was offered a choice of one of three jobs by rahm emanuel's deputy jim messina if he would drop out of the primary. again, the white house first denied the allegations when they came from anonymous administration whistle-blowers. but once the actual email from messina was released by romanoff, who probably didn't like being called a liar by the white house, the story changed: again, the jobs were offered, but nothing inappropriate happened. after all of the stonewalling and denying, what is the white house's latest defense? it was just business as usual. enough is enough. if rahm emanuel has been offering government goodies to inconvenient politicians threatening democrat incumbents, then it's time for him to resign. if it comes out that the president knew about any of it, then we have a larger problem. and, if offering political appointments in exchange for sitting out of a campaign is the president's proposal for "job-creation," then we're in for more economic misery. th
