Bush: "those (Abramoff) pictures will be used for pure political purposes"
Yes, and we wouldn't want to stoop to THAT level would we? After all the Republicans have never done anything like THAT, have they?

1. They would show he lied about knowing him, and that would have political
consequences.

3. Yeah, but at least it didn't involve S E X !
I mean if you point out that our government is for sale to the highest bidder, well you're just playing politics. Nothing to see here. Move along now.:mad:

10. the pictures didn't involve sex ... that we know of

4. Weren't they taken for that purpose?
Deal with it George. Abramoff was a pioneer.

For achieving their fundraising goals, Pioneers receive a relatively modest token, the right to buy a set of silver cuff links with an engraved Lone Star of Texas (Rangers can buy a more expensive belt buckle set). Their real reward is entree to the White House and the upper levels of the administration.

8. Yes, they are buying access, and those photos are proof that they
are members of a very exclusive club of people who have a greater say in our government. Abramoff used those photos to bilk money out of his clients. The photos were proof that he had access to the president.

12. well, that frees us up to photoshop to our hearts content, right?
i mean, since they've ACKNOWLEDGED that photo's exist but REFUSED to release them, that means we're free to release our own "artist's renditions" or whatever.

if they don't like that idea, they're MORE than welcome to release the REAL pictures....

:evilgrin:
