Question: If the TM (nee MSM) wanted a picture (which they got) of The Big Dog and Monica hugging on a reception line to be circulated world-wide, how long would it take to get? Seems somewhere out there is a picture or five of Bunnypants and JACKabramOFF the Giver.
The President's memory may soon be unhappily refreshed. TIME has seen five photographs of Abramoff and the President that suggest a level of contact between them that Bush's aides have downplayed. While TIME's source refused to provide the pictures for publication, they are likely to see the light of day eventually because celebrity tabloids are on the prowl for them. And that has been a fear of the Bush team's for the past several months: that a picture of the President with the admitted felon could become the iconic image of direct presidential involvement in a burgeoning corruption scandal like the shots of President Bill Clinton at White House coffees for campaign contributors in the mid-1990s.
In one shot that TIME saw, Bush appears with Abramoff, several unidentified people and Raul Garza Sr., a Texan Abramoff represented who was then chairman of the Kickapoo Indians, which owned a casino in southern Texas. Garza, who is wearing jeans and a bolo tie in the picture, told TIME that Bush greeted him as "Jefe," or "chief" in Spanish. Another photo shows Bush shaking hands with Abramoff in front of a window and a blue drape. The shot bears Bush's signature, perhaps made by a machine. Three other photos are of Bush, Abramoff and, in each view, one of the lobbyist's sons (three of his five children are boys). A sixth picture shows several Abramoff children with Bush and House Speaker Dennis Hastert, who is now pushing to tighten lobbying laws after declining to do so last year when the scandal was in its early stages.
Gee, no wonder Scotty McLyingsack won't discuss staff-level activities. The might be discussing Preznit Morally Bankrupt and his meetings with JACKabramOFF. The only thing missing isn't a blue dress anymore, it's any morality in the "Morality Party".
I wonder how much the owner of those photos will be charging for them. sure as hell, it's not gonna be a pittance. And if the Democrats can't tie Bunnypants to Abramoff with a bond at a molecular level, well, there's a bigger problem in top Democratic circles than we suspect.
When those pics come out, every ad we run this year should have any republican up for re-election with a picture of them and JACKabramOFF and Beloved Leader and JACKabramOFF. Every stinkin' ad.

I'd like to see a picture that contradicts individual lies... for instance a picture of Bin Laden would remind everyone just how much better he is at protecting the homeland, coffins to remind everyone about his lies leading up to the war AND his own service record. But a picture tying him directly to a lie? PRICELESS!
Apparently the preznit's li'l Snotty didn't have much to say* about Brokeback Mountain after preznit totally avoided answering a direct question about the film:
"You're a rancher," the young man said to Bush. "A lot of us here in Kansas are ranchers. I was just wanting to get your opinion on 'Brokeback Mountain,' if you've seen it yet."
As the hall filled with nervous laughter, the young man persisted: "You would love it. You should check it out."
The president appeared as if he wanted to say something about the film. "I've heard about it," he said. "I hope you go — you know."
He paused, and the hall filled again with nervous laughs. The president appeared to chuckle a bit, and then said: "I hope you go back to the ranch and the farm is what I'm about to say."
The audience applauded, even though it was not clear what Bush meant. White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan* offered little clarification. (my emphasis)
I love it! The guy with the question is wonderful and we need more guys like this. And even in that safe enclave that preznit couldn't answer the question. No matter what he would have said there would have been "applause and nervous laughter"! I can't wait until Brokeback wins Oscars galore and the CM ask the preznit again! ROFLMAO!!!
