Say cheese.
CREW finds the first second photo of President Bush and criminal lobbyist Jack Abramoff, taken at a December 2003 fundraiser.
Flashback: Abramoff: “[Bush] has one of the best memories of any politician I have ever met. … 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.”

Perhaps Bush forgotten but we never will. A picture tells a thousand words.
January 8th, 2007 at 7:32 pmMore proof of the Sociopath-in-Chief’s in ability to tell the truth.
January 8th, 2007 at 7:34 pmHey! Who is this guy standing next to me?
January 8th, 2007 at 7:37 pmHopefully this picture will refresh Pres Bush’s memory, after claiming he didn’t recall “ever meeting” Jack Abramoff.
Wait for the trolls to claim this photo proves nothing or that the guy on the right is a Bush impersonator.
January 8th, 2007 at 7:37 pmMore proof Bush is a lying sleezeball! Now when the heck are we gonna throw the sleezeball out of Washington? Can you say Impeachment?
January 8th, 2007 at 7:45 pmBush lies all the time about everything. He is a classic sociopath.
January 8th, 2007 at 7:46 pmHe is a classic sociopath.

Every description I’ve ever read of the malfunction applies to him – and usually it only takes a few of the traits to diagnose someone as sociopathic. Yet, he has ALL of them…
January 8th, 2007 at 7:53 pmwell, we know SOMEONE’s in the office reading these comments…
January 8th, 2007 at 7:54 pmTP should give out hat tips to those they get their breaking news from…
just sayin’…
Liars, Liars, Liars, the whole frigging bunch of them.
IMPEACH!!
January 8th, 2007 at 7:56 pmweird, abramoff looks like a petite little crook…
January 8th, 2007 at 7:56 pmnever notice that before…
Can someone please POST the LINK to the WH’s statement
January 8th, 2007 at 7:57 pmthat Bush had never met Jack A. ???
Q: But have you been able to more clearly determine whether the President ever met Abramoff at any of these White House –
January 8th, 2007 at 8:08 pm[...]
MR. McCLELLAN: Yes, I said it’s possible that they would have met at a holiday reception or some other widely attended gathering. The President does not know him, nor does the President recall ever meeting him.

Helllooooo!! Heh.
January 8th, 2007 at 8:13 pmBush = Sociopath = A person, as a psychopathic personality, whose behavior is antisocial and who lacks a sense of moral responsibility or social conscience. Someone whose social behavior is extremely abnormal. Sociopaths are interested only in their personal needs and desires, without concern for the effects of their behavior on others.
January 8th, 2007 at 8:16 pmhavent they bumped off abramoff yet? i woulda thought he’d have been stuck with a shiv by now…or “suicided”
January 8th, 2007 at 8:43 pmAwe c’mon, give him a break, he meets thousands of people every day, hundreds of photos an hour. Jeez.
January 8th, 2007 at 9:18 pmGeorge W. Bush is “suffering” from Structured Dissociative Identity Disorder (SDID).

If I was drinking a beverage, it would have come out my nose…
January 8th, 2007 at 10:04 pmBush has poltical amnesia whenever it suits his needs! Abramoff is now radioactive to Bush, just like Kenny Lay of Enron before he died, so Bush feigns ever having known Abramoff!

Yes. No death threats. :)
January 8th, 2007 at 11:01 pmFamous but unfortunately not last words: George W. Bush: “I knew Jack before I forgot I knew him.”
January 9th, 2007 at 12:59 amWow, they look like best friends in that picture. How can you not remember such an intimate moment. That does not look like your standard “get in line for a picture†fund raiser.
People, get a life. Move along, nothing to see here.
ROTFL
January 9th, 2007 at 7:36 amha ha lol :-)
January 9th, 2007 at 7:41 amBush is a dipshit war crminal-
mr pisterpants
Data mining, Total Information Awareness and Warrantless Wiretaps are the tools of communists and Big Government Republicans.
January 9th, 2007 at 8:12 amI’m pretty sure I make more than you :-)
I commented much earlier but of course another one of my posts disappeared. I mentioned how I looked at that picture and can’t believe Bush forgot such and intimate photo. They look like best friends catching up on old time.
NOT
Come on you are grasping at straws with this one. If this is not a standard meet and greet photo I don’t know what is.
ROTFL
Why don’t you losers at least use a photo editor and make them shake hands. (And using a John Kerry flub helps you even less)
Move along, nothing to see here.

January 9th, 2007 at 10:37 am[...] Second photo of George Bush with Jack Abramoff published http://thinkprogress.org/2007/01/08/say-cheese Scott McClellan: “it’s possible that they would have met at a holiday reception or some other widely attended gathering.

January 9th, 2007 at 2:12 pmHey a what did Abramhoff do that was illegal?
January 10th, 2007 at 1:26 amwire fraud, it was. I think that the huge interest he generated was due to his very public relationships with a laundry list of Republican elected officials……and I’ll bet the Secret Service logs we can’t see show evidence of many many White House visits….among others.
