Where's his pic with Abramoff?

By the way, can anyone recommend good threads that have a thorough summary of l'affair Abramoff as we know it? Particularly that describes his role in financing Republican election campaigns which I kind of understand to be huge?

The part where he fraudulently represented the Native American gambling interests I think I pretty much understand, and I guess it's as yet unclear whether or not he is involved with the murder of that guy in Florida who purchased the cruise line from him...

1. At the $100,000 contribution level, he gets more than a pony ride
I'm sure that there are lots of photos of Abramoff with Bush.

But like the photo of Saddam with Rumsfeld, I don't know that it'll really affect public opinion.

9. I googled images yesterday for one;
I think the internets have been 'cleaned' of them, myself, as I couldn't find a one. :tinfoilhat:

3. They are rounding them up
and shredding them as we speak.

http://rawstory.com/news/2005/Bush_trying_to_round_up_all_0108.html

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.

5. Yeah, but sports teams like pictures with cheerleaders.
Maybe Abramoff only likes pictures with people he can rip off.

6. some pioneers got to stay at the Governor's mansion in Texas
I tried to bring up the list which had been on the center for public integrity and it is gone. I started a thread on this and everybody keeps telling me to use an internet archive. I tried and it does not work. It has been removed

8. I've been trying to find out if bush calls each one of them personally.
I would almost swear I read that somewhere, that bush makes a personal telephone call to the Pioneers to thank them for being Greedy Overbearing Pigs in the service of their master.

10. It's not illegal to provide funds to aa campaign.
The illegal part only happens when there's a quid-pro-quo.

I suspect there's a link between Abramoff and DeLay's redistricting in Tx, and that COULD prove to be illegal, but just donating $$ to a campaign is OK.

Don't fall into the Pub trap. It's the donating $$ that THEY'RE trying to pull the Dems in on. It won't work!!!!
