Calling it "bunk" doesn't mean it didn't happen. That particular incident may have happened a while ago but the uneven emphasis placed on IAH by Abbott and his pals has taken a lot longer to unwind- especially with Smisek bumbling around for a few years. His little ****ing contest with the mayor didn't help.
