This is a BREAKING EXCLUSIVE at Thinkprogress.
Well, they tried to disappear the photos but exclusive emails obtained by Thinkprogress describe the Abramoff-Bush relationship. As reported at Thinkprogress, the emails written by Abramoff describe the extent of it, more than was previously reported. “The emails by Abramoff were addressed to Kim Eisler, national editor of Washingtonian magazine.” – one and the same mag that reported on the existence of those missing, cached photographs. The tell-all will be reported in more detail and we’re asked by Thinkprogress to check back for more.
We recall the denials, as recently as January 26 Bush said
“You know, frankly, don’t even remember having my picture taken with the guy. I don’t know him”
“But according to Eisler, Abramoff told him that the two have met almost a dozen times, shared jokes, and spoke about details of Abramoff’s family:
HE HAS ONE OF THE BEST MEMORIES OF ANY POLITICIAN I HAVE EVER MET. IT WAS ONE IF [sic] HIS TRADEMARKS, THOUGH OF COURSE HE CAN’T RECALL THAT HE HAS A GREAT MEMORY! THE GUY SAW ME IN ALMOST A DOZEN SETTINGS, AND JOKED WITH ME ABOUT A BUNCH OF THINGS, INCLUDING DETAILS OF MY KIDS. PERHAPS HE HAS FORGOTTEN EVERYTHING. WHO KNOWS.”

It is said a picture is worth a 1000 words. Turn that on it’s head. These emails are worth 1000 pics and can they (the pics) be far behind?
My grandmother had a word for guys like Bush.
Well, he lied us into a war didn’t he? Not surprised are you? Didn’t think so.
