Bush And The Jack Pack

Scott McCellan has told the press that while the White House has been looking for pictures showing both Bush and Jack Abramoff, they had yet to find any. They must not be looking very hard. From the Washingtonian:

If the White House can’t find the photos, prosecutors already know where to look. The Washingtonian has seen five photos of the President with Abramoff or his family. One photo shows the President and Abramoff shaking hands at a meeting in the Old Executive Office Building, where a bearded-Abramoff introduced Bush to several of the lobbyist’s native-American clients.

A picture may be worth a thousand words, but Abramoff's testimony may may be worth tens of thousands of words. Also from the Washingtonian:

Abramoff would tell prosecutors, if asked, that not only did he know the President, but the President knew the names of Abramoff’s children and asked about them during their meetings. At one such photo session, Bush discussed the fact that both he and Abramoff were fathers of twins.

Sorry Karl, scandal is going to be a major part of the mid-term elections.
