Picture of Bush with Jack Abramoff!

[FreedomAngel82]

I know that some here were looking for a very clear picture of Bush with Abramoff and I found one on my county's democratic party's blog! Check it out. It's very clear:

9. Looks like it is a photoshop

notice the contrast in colors b/w the two.

10. That is most definitely not Abramoff.

Randi made the same mistake today and corrected herself after having posted the picture. Its supposedly a secret service guy.

11. Not even close. NT

[oxymoron]

12. Ain't Abramoff (nt)

[shraby]

13. The guy's hair is too light. Abramoff's is black.

[feelthebreeze]

14. Uh-Uh. Not him, but keep trying to find Waldo.

[jsamuel]

15. not him

[Imagevision]

16. Abramoff?? it's not even close...! not even on chemicals!

[doublethink]

17. Nice try anyway FreedomAngel82 ... !

consensus here seems to say no. :( Peace.

[chalky]

18. Nope. Sorry.

Abramoff:



Mystery guy:



There's a resemblance, I guess. They could pass for, oh...cousins, maybe.

[FreedomAngel82]

22. Ah the hair is darker

His hair is a lot darker than this guys.

[agingdem]

19. Not even close!

[parasim]

20. Nope.

I think that's the guy that was in the other picture that everyone seems to think is Abramoff...
most likely secret service...

21. Think Progess posted this also and then updates it to say - it isn't him.

PHOTO: Abramoff and Bush? (UPDATE: No)
This photo appears in a 2000 BBC article about the Bush transition team:



We’ve contacted Agence France Press for more information about the photo. (HT: Canofun)

UPDATE: In the comment section, CTDem discovered another photo from the same event that suggests the person above with Bush is not Jack Abramoff. Great find.

24. I am sure about this classic photo.

He said he didn't know the guy on the right either.

25. here's a pic from bradblog

so you know it's good!

26. Your county Democratic Party illegally posts copyrighted photos. . .

to its blog? Interesting. . .

[PatrioticOhioLiberal]

27. And your point?

n/t

[Journeyman]

28. I think the point is evident in the post. . .

What would you have me do, ignore their illegal behavior? Turn a blind eye to their moral failings? Go all "Republican" on the issue and wonder what the point is in calling someone on their unauthorized use of private property? Or maybe, like I've done here, bring the matter to the attention of someone who's closer to the issue than I (it is FreedomAngel82's county political party) in hopes they may point out the illicit behavior to the responsible people. I've already notified the Hamilton County Democratic Party of its transgression -- thought maybe someone local might take an interest, too. If nothing else, perhaps others reading this will see that not every picture on the web is free and just because you crop the copyright line out doesn't absolve you of responsibility.

So in short, my point was to act as the responsible, ethical citizen I am. What other point could you see to my post?

29. Nope try again

no abramoff here

[FreedomAngel82]

30. Already been shown

I posted how they have different hair types etc. Someone else posted that Randi also thought it was him so it's been floating around obviously.
