“Hogarth”
=Denial of the week=

EARLIER this week, a letter was written to the ANC and the Young Communist League of SA by Minde Schapiro & Smith acting for a Tony Leon. It read, inter alia:

“Mr Leon —


 * has never spent a year in the United States at any stage of his life;
 * has never taught law in the United States;
 * has never met Mr Abramoff (a right- wing lobbyist);
 * has never had Mr Abramoff work on his behalf or on behalf of the Democratic Alliance;
 * knows of no work Mr Abramoff did on behalf of the Democratic Alliance and/or himself in Washington DC or in New York City, or for that matter anywhere else.”

=And there’s more=

IT GOES on a bit, so the above headline has been used to give readers a chance to catch their breath. It continued:

“
 * denies that Mr Abramoff administered all (or any of) his United States arrangements in the year he is alleged to have spent in the United States, or for that matter at any other time;
 * was always a vehement political opponent of Mr Crystal (a right-wing dilettante) at Wits University;
 * was never a colleague of Mr Williamson (an apartheid spy) at Wits University;
 * was never bankrolled in his student election campaigns by either Mr Crystal or Mr Williamson; and
 * did not have his fictitious year in the United States financed by Mr Crystal or Mr Williamson”.

There you have it.
