From her home in Spring, Texas, Crawford, 33, produced all the RNC's Web videos and Internet ads in 2004.

Bush "has one of the best memories of any politician I have ever met," Abramoff mused in the e-mail last month, adding that, He "saw me in almost a dozen settings, and joked with me about a bunch of things, including details...
