Josh Marshall at Talking Points Memo is calling

for any photos of Bush and Abramoff together.

"Happy huntings. We'll be giving away prized TPM- and TPMmuckraker-wear for prime Jack and George memorabilia"

Any du'ers have any?

The republicans knew Abramoff was up to no good. They don't want photo evidence around to link Bush to him.

or Newsweek archives?

My son collects major event news stuff, I'll check it out.

A guy like Abramoff would LOVE a pic of himself with W. Somewhere there's an unscrubbed photo...

The web was cleansed, just like when they added "major" to combat operations are over on May 1, 2003. Big brother has long arms and many fingers.

abramoff was a bush* "pioneer" -- don't these guys get to have their pics taken with bubble-boy when they give/raise over "x" dollars?

If they had their picture taken at White House...?

Anybody recall? I saw it in print the other day but forgot name?

but I have discovered that there are tons of articles regarding abramoff and indians going back to 2003. Might be useful?

...the photos to show his clients he was in tight with the "Great White Father"....But I'm bettin' Jack hasn't got them anymore...they passed to the FBI along with his soul 18 months ago....And agent Mike is sitting and giggling while the shrub does his St Peter act..."I tell you I don't know the man..." and I bet georgie boy tops it denying him WAY more than 3 times before the cock crows...

If so, there is a Texas Observer article that discusses all this, and refers to the fact that Abramoff was present at a Bush meet at the White House. No picture there, but one may exist. 8th paragraph down.

...about 10 years back,in the town where I grew up the head of the state GOP had come to a finacial implosion and was distributing his personal property in preparation to dispose of his residence....Among the tons o' junk laid out for a yard sale was a framed photo of said head with his arm around the shoulder of Ronald Reagan and in a way it saddened me-the guy had always been decent to me and was reduced to selling his most private items-I thought to myself on the significance of that photo to him and wondered if Reagan had ever wanted or received a copy...so while the White House is churning and burning, I'll still bet Jack retained the goods....

One of their sites might have something. Oh and here's a link to the way back machine. Sometimes comes in handy when links have been disappeared.

Yesterday, a White House spokesperson acknowledged to the Associated Press that the President "had met on occasion" with Abramoff. In addition, Abramoff's records indicates that he made at least 200 "contacts" with members of the Bush administration, including then-Attorney General John Ashcroft and senior members of Vice President Cheney's staff.

Abramoff also bragged to his clients about his success in placing his own employees into Bush administration jobs including David Safavian, now in charge of all government procurement at the General Services Administration and Patrick Pizzella, formerly a Marianas lobbyist and currently a Deputy Secretary of Labor. Even Abramoff's personal assistant, Susan Ralston, later became Karl Rove's personal assistant.

I bet Ralston passed messages from Abramoff to bush through Rove. I bet that was the whole reason for Ralston getting that job.

is Secretary of Labor? The Marianas had labor problems that were covered up.

This was the "face time" with the President that Abramoff & Norquist arranged for the Choctaw. Any PR-pics covering that event may have them together.
