Does anyone find it strange not ONE Bush picture with Abramoff?

Not a single one has surfaced. I know they are chasing every photo down, but it would seem one would have hit the internet by now.

We all KNOW he has met the President.

EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!

2. The bigger picture is that the POS-in-Chief
is leading a corrupt political party that is harming the nation. He is an international embarrassment and the world knows it, so that is the big picture that counts in the eyes of the world.

28. If that is a pic of republican lobbyist Abramoff in the background then
there are tons of video of that day. I remember seeing it, they were at the airport in Houston. If we can find that video, there may be a capture of republican lobbyist Abramoff in the background.

before though, the WH is frantically searching for each and every pic of these two thugs together.

I will go on undaunted!

I am so mad about Simple Scotty lying about how * doesn't know Abramoff. I want to get a pic/video and send it to a press corps person like David Gregory, so he can shove it in SS's face.

34. It's hard to tell whether its him without his hat and trenchcoat.
But I see a distinct resemblance.

How can we get this verified?

41. I think you've got a winner.
The facial expression is especially convincing to me. It's his characteristic grimace.

Great find!

21. They buried the Bu$h/Lay pics quick, too.
Bu$h/Lay pics were ubiquitous. Now they are collectors' items. It is the Bu$hco plan of total media control. Know what I mean, Vern?

Ha ha ha ha hhhhhaaaa.

They're looking for as many rugs as they can find and "sweeping" the pictures.

27. Scrubbed.
After Enron was exposed I think they scrubbed all known photos of Bush with the Enron jet he rode on during Campaign 2000. They would have made effective ads for Election 2004.

No luck. But it MUST be out there, somewhere!

30. Anyone know if there's any truth to this article.
http://news.baou.com/main.php?action=recent&rid=20729

"TIME magazine reports that aides to Bush are trying to determine whether or not there are any photos of the President and the fallen lobbyist together.
According to the article, administration officials have obtained from the Secret Service a list of all the times Abramoff entered the White House, and they're busy trying to determine whether or not Bush would have been photographed with Abramoff."

I can't find anything about this on Time's website so I have my doubts.

40. i heard that TIME's photo-journalists
are pouring over their archives to get that cover shot of George and Jack together.

From what I heard about the infamous Clinton-Lewinsky photo, it was discovered almost by accident. These guys have thousands of photos to pour through. It is extremely probably that these two were in the same building together at various functions, now we just have to get lucky and have that moment captured in a photo.
