First Bush-Abramhoff photo leaked.



There were only about two dozen people at this event. They already had to admit this is Abramhoff. Ha ha ha.


~clip~

Now, finally, the first such photo has come to light. It shows a bearded Abramoff in the background as Bush greets an Abramoff client, Raul Garza, who was then the chairman of the Kickapoo Traditional Tribe of Texas; Bush senior advisor Karl Rove looks on. The photograph was provided to TIME by Mr. Garza. The meeting took place in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building adjacent to the White House on May 9, 2001. Told about the photograph in January, the White House said it had no record that Abramoff was present at the meeting. Shown the photograph today, White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan said the White House had still found no record of Abramoff's presence but confirmed that it is Abramoff in the picture. McClellan told TIME: "The president has taken countless, tens of thousands of pictures at home and abroad over the last five years. As we've said previously a photo like this has no relevance to the Justice Department's investigation (of Abramoff)."

This meeting, however, was a relatively small gathering attended by some two dozen people, including Garza and another Indian tribal leader who was Abramoff's client. At least two tribes, the Coushatta of Louisiana and the Mississippi Band of Choctaw, contributed $25,000 each to the anti-tax group Americans for Tax Reform, which is headed by Grover Norquist, a well-known conservative ally of the White House. Garza, who is also known by his Indian name, Makateonenodua.com, meaning "black buffalo," is under federal indictment for allegedly embezzling more than $300,000 from his tribe.


No relevance indeed. This is just Abrahoff's Indian chief client shaking hands with President piss face himself. And Abramhoff is gleefully looking on. :9

2. Old Sense Of Freedom?
The victims of Wounded Knee might not agree with that.

This is just the latest victimization of native Americans...making them the scapegoats because they have no ability to fight back.

3. That other guy over Bush's right shoulder
keeps popping up alot in pictures we're seeing.

He's the one we thought might be Abramhoff in several pictures. Now we can see the two of them in the same picture. Something squirrelly about him.

We need to find out who he is.
