Why does the Pretzident pretend he doesn't know people - Lay (Enron)
It would seem that the Pretzident doesn't know anyone - first he doesn't know Jack Abramoff and before that he didn't know Ken Lay of Enron. Kenny who? Well what d'ya know? The Enron trial is coming up fast.

and an old one
"I did not have political relations with that man, Ken Lay." —Sen. Fritz Hollings (D-S.C.), poking fun at Bush for distancing himself from Enron

15. He had Chalibi sitting with his wife at one of the State of the Union
speeches. A year later he tried to claim that he didn't know him.

4. They lie like they breathe.
If it's a convenient thing to do at the time, why not? No one ever calls them on it, or cares too much.

6. because he CAN

He knows that once he signals that he's not gonna comment on something further, the press will just tuck their tails and hide under the table.

he gets away with it because they let him get away with it.

14. Maybe he doesn't know he knows, or knows he knows, but doesn't
want anyone to know he knows?
