3. we'll see those photos about as much as we saw Abu Ghraib in 2005
in other words, next to zero. Propaganda is in full view everyone. Read here first--Bush the world wide rapist and still unreformed drunk/drug addict will be able to hold onto his slim lead (to provide some measure of credibility to the elections...Dems will win some seats they weren't supposed to, but it will be a 53 to 47 GOP lead in Senate and 230 to 205 lead in House.

We are well and truly fucked. Have been ever since Bush got away with the McCain sliming in 2000.

4. We'll be lucky if any images appear in the MSM
Beyond the National Enquirer.

But forget the images, which the right is already dismissing as "photo ops" that prove nothing.

We need to emphasize that:

1.) Abramahoff had a position on Bush's transition team
2.) The island sweatshop deal.
3.) He was a Bush pioneer fundraiser
4.) The indicted member of the Bush Administration staff, David Safavian, used to work for Abramhoff. He was indicted for blocking the investigation.
5.) His personal assistant went to work for Rove (these personnel shenanigans are really important)

We will end up fighting over photographs, and the MSM will love it, because then they can avoid the substantive evidence that this guy was TIGHT with the Bush Administration.

5. Photos of Abramoff with ANYBODY...
Edited on Sun Jan-22-06 08:20 PM by PBass
meaning cabinet members, staff members, anyone on Team Bush...

are almost as damaging as pics of Abramoff with Bush.

Hell, I would love to see a pic of Abramoff with McLellan, Ronald Dumsfeld, Cheney, Rice, Powell, Karen Hughes, Alberto Gonzales, Ashcroft...

I'd love to see pics of Abramof with McCain, Santorum, Delay, Ted Stevens, Frist, etc etc.

Abramoff is so 'radioactive', that the more photos we see, the better
