I mistakenly thought this was a gift from someone who I have been friends with for 15 years.” <BR/>A gift I did not receive until after I was being paid a million a year by my dear friend of fifteen years.<BR/>I'd like him to describe how this conversation about the gift came out: "Will you be giving me this gift that dare not speak its name every day, or might your generosity expire tomorrow so that I should be sure to get my car back from the shop? Perhaps I shouldn't ask any questions, and just hope the limo comes again tomorrow."<BR/>Is he under oath at these committee hearings?
