Lobbyist Told Reporter of Nearly a Dozen Contacts With Bush

President Bush met lobbyist Jack Abramoff almost a dozen times over the past five years and invited him to Crawford, Tex., in the summer of 2003, according to an e-mail Abramoff wrote to a reporter last month.

Bush "has one of the best memories of any politicians I have ever met,"
Abramoff wrote to Kim Eisler of Washingtonian magazine. "The guys saw
me in almost a dozen settings, and joked with me about a bunch of
things, including details of my kids."
