Debbie Schlussel: Spencer Abraham: Former Bush Energy Sec. Whores Self to Fellow Pan-Islamists
Spencer Abraham, former Bush Energy Secretary, has made it official. He's for sale to the Mid-East's highest Islamist bidder.
John Harwood reported in his "Washington Wire" column in Friday's Wall Street Journal that Abraham, who was Michigan's U.S. Senator and is of Lebanese descent, just opened a "strategic consulting firm serving clients in Mideast and other markets."
As we've written (and that column was quoted in The Washington Post), Abraham favored pan-Islamists from HAMAS front group CAIR and others from Islamic charities raided by Customs Agents for laundering money to Al-Qaeda. He invited a man tied to one of the Al-Qaeda-related charities to the Bush White House to give out post-9/11 "awards." Abraham also took campaign contributions from Nijad Fares, the son of then-Hezbollah installed Deputy Prime Minister of Lebanon.
We're glad that Abraham has now come out in the open and made it official that--as we've previously lamented--he can be bought by the highest Pan-Islamist Mid-East bidder. We only hope he does not share vital energy secrets with them.
Don't count on it.
Full Disclosure: Spence Abraham, when he was Vice President Dan Quayle's Deputy Chief of Staff, wrote a recommendation for me when I was applying to law schools. But that was the Spence Abraham I knew who was good and decent--before he became a whore to radical Islamic causes once he reached the U.S. Senate and to date.
