Bush trying to round up all photos of President with Abramoff

Aides to President George W. Bush are trying to identify all the photos that may exist of the President and lobbyist Jack Abramoff together, TIME’s White House Correspondents Mike Allen and Matt Cooper report in Monday editions, RAW STORY has learned. From TIME:

Bracing for the worst, Administration officials obtained from the Secret Service a list of all the times Abramoff entered the White House complex, and they scrambled to determine the reason for each visit, TIME reports. Abramoff attended Hanukkah and holiday events at the White House, according to an aide who has seen the list. Press secretary Scott McClellan said Abramoff might have attended large gatherings with Bush but added, “The President does not know him, nor does the President recall ever meeting him.”

President Bush and Tom DeLay: The President had scored 10 points higher than former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay in the Representative’s district in 2004, and that was only after Bush had recorded a telephone message to help rally local Republicans. “I can’t believe I had to do robocalls for him,” the President said bitingly to an Oval Office visitor.

To people who know Bush well, the remark said it all about the longtime chill between the two pols—a distance that is only sure to grow with former lobbyist Jack Abramoff’s guilty plea. Both camps describe the two conservative Texans’ relationship as professional—an alliance, not a friendship, TIME reports.

2. Are they reading DU???
I proposed that some journo do an immediate FOIA of all photos taken on the day in question the minute the story broke that Jackie A was in the WH with those Indians!!!

All of the images are archived, sequenced, and serialized, see...if they try to make one or two "go missing" it will be obvious. They can't hide it, unless they try to make the photographers part of the conspiracy--and they wouldn't dare, at this point!

If they are running a damage-control operation, you can figure that some of them are pretty damning--more than the standard "grip-n-grin."

Gotta love it.
