Bush and Abramoff—Breaking Bread, Saying Cheese, Littering Twins
White House press secretary Scott McClellan admits that the White House has been on a search mission for any photos showing President Bush with toxic lobbyist Jack Abramoff, who is cooperating with the Justice Department on its investigation of a wide-ranging lobbying scandal.
At a press conference, McClellan said if there were pictures, which officials hadn’t found, they might have been taken at a Christmas-party line, where the President poses with hundreds of people. “The President does not know him, nor does the President recall ever meeting him,” McClellan said.
The comment about searching raised images in the press room of a “White House plumbers” operation looking for incriminating photos.
If the White House can’t find the photos, prosecutors already know where to look. The Washingtonian has seen five photos of the President with Abramoff or his family. One photo shows the President and Abramoff shaking hands at a meeting in the Old Executive Office Building, where a bearded-Abramoff introduced Bush to several of the lobbyist’s native-American clients.
Abramoff was named a “pioneer” in the Bush presidential campaign, collecting more than $100,000, in $2,000 maximum increments, for his campaign in 2004. Bush has returned $6,000 of Abramoff’s contributions, the part that would represent the legal limit for Abramoff; his wife, Pam; and a client.
Sources say the photographs are being kept safe. Abramoff would tell prosecutors, if asked, that not only did he know the President, but the President knew the names of Abramoff’s children and asked about them during their meetings. At one such photo session, Bush discussed the fact that both he and Abramoff were fathers of twins.
Abramoff is my favorite kind of criminal...a cooperative one! ;)

Bush and his folks are pathological liars. To uncover the truth just take the exact opposite of anything Scott McClellan says.
"I never knew him". Bush's response to question on relationship with "Kenny Boy" Lay.
well I'm not real sure any more how
'Scotty' looks himself in the mirror.
Therein lies the problem .. the people in the Administration think
a) the American people are stupid
b) have IQs less than 50
c) no matter what drivel they serve up,
we're going to believe it.
ENOUGH WITH THE EMPEROR WITH NO CLOTHES
It just says another thing about the press -- they're going to lap up whatever cow flop he serves and print it, massage it, spin it ...
Fitz, we need a little Merry Fitzmas about now..
this crap has just got to stop in its tracks . . with Rove, Cheney, Bush, Abramoff, Ney, Hastert, and the infamous 21 WHIGs!
Another lie that comes to light. Bush was friends with Jack when Jack was giving him money. Now that Jack is guilty of crimes Bush can't remember him. Now that sounds like a GOP defenence to me. Isn't all the crooks using the " I can't remember excuse ". Just keep connecting those dots and check stubs Fitz its all their. As for Rove, you have him trapped with the dates of the information I heard his attorney is calling on the reporters to testify to bad. The facts speak for themselves, its a little late to try to get reporters to cover up now.
Time has picked up the story from the Washingtonian. They say they expect the photos to be out soon, since the scandal rags are very (read $$$) interested in them.
That's not good news, because everyone knows those publications are photoshop pros. The average person seeing them while standing in the supermarket checkout line will just assume they are fakes.
We will see if there is any vindictivness towards "Scottie" at the next press corp
briefing.Selective amnesia is also a possibility again.
Scott will have to get better briefings for himself before he holds his own.He must realise now that this is not going away.
