Another picture to match the glasses and the face with that I know is Abramoff.

[cynatnite]

1. Hmm...could be...

I did some comparison and I still can't tell with this one.

I'm closer to saying 'yes' with what you have.

[shraby]

6. The hairline comes closer to the eyebrows

on the guy behind bush than Abramoff's is.

[cynatnite]

8. You're right...I hadn't noticed that before n/t

[Horse with no Name]

15. I don't think so

The guy behind Bush has shorter earlobes

[mopinko]

26. the guy behind bush is secret service

this picture was identified by the french news agency that owns it, and they say this is a secret service guy. heard it on randi yesterday.

[gordianot]

2. That must be 80% of the crowd that was allowed to see him.

[MuseRider]

3. Dunno but isn't that

Lindsey Graham? Doesn't he look adorable in his slicker?

[leftstreet]

4. Lindsey looks like he's wearing a condom

:)

[MuseRider]

9. You are right! Ha Ha

That is pretty darned funny and he does not look all that happy about it. LOL.

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

11. That's so appropriate since he's such a dick. n/t

[napi21]

5. I guess it could be, but it also looks like DeLay to me.

Considering the group, it would more likely be DeLay than Abramoff.

[Sydnie]

7. Isn't that Delay on the far right with the smirk and the slicker?

I just know there has to be one out there and it will be the last nail if we can find it.

[Rosco T.]

10. Cropped, 250% zoom, color balance, gamma up 1.3, you decide.

[Catchawave]

37. I found another hat photo

nostrils are wider?

[Sydnie]

39. that is a different angle and many years later

He has put on a good deal of weight over the years. It is a shot from below rather than from above. hard to compare those, imho. But, look at the little cleft/line in his chin. that line is visible in the original hat pic from the inaugural shot too.

[Sydnie]

12. Hre's two more from that same time frame with glasses

[f-bush]

13. I think it might be!

[Elidor]

14. Looks like Will Pitt to me

:evilgrin: Will Pitt in a Dubya cap :rofl:

Okay, I'm better now...

[soothsayer]

16. nah, but it looks like Joe Pesci over there on the right

[Rainscents]

17. Bingo!... We got a winner!!!

Look at clif on bottom of his face... It is him!

[Sydnie]

18. I thought so too

I think it might be. Imagine that.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

19. Does anyone see Abramoff on this website -- He's listed as a client....

http://www.sabatinioflondon.net/testimonials.html

[Sydnie]

20. Those all look like Hollywood types to me

Celebrities that everyone would recognize type pictures. I did see that he was listed as a client though. Interesting client list, isn't it?

[Laura PourMeADrink]

21. I looked at each pic, there are a couple that could be him, but

the links are bad. I guess if they were trying to hide a juicy pic of JA and someone they would have completely removed it, huh.

[Sydnie]

23. Yeah I would think they would have

the one in my OP from the inagural wasn't listed with Abramoff in the saved file title. It was about Powell. I have been looking at all other names involved at that time, hoping to catch a snap of him that they hadn't found yet.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

35. I'm doing the same thing, hoping to find something. Trying to

search for old posts/articles but it doesn't seem to be working. Still getting newer Abramoff stuff. Just searching through old records of who slept in the WH - nothing. Don't you think it's odd that this guy was a pioneer for B** and there are no photos ? Which made me think - why did B** only return $6,000 - when a pioneer gives $100k plus???

[Sydnie]

38. The Pioneers only arrange for the 100 thousand

They don't take it out of their own pocket, they arrange for others to donate up to the $100,000 mark when they are all added together. When you consider it, it was an easy thing for him to do. Why wasn't he a RANGER instead? That would have only been doubling down his bet and raising $200,000. Seems that could have been an easy task for him to have done too.

I was wondering why there are no pictures of him when he as doing his dirty deals in Africa either. Someone who trades his services by talking about the face time he can get with these guys, you would think there were be a plethora of pictures of him out there, wouldn't you?

[Laura PourMeADrink]

40. Your first paragraph - Yes, I understand that - but aren't there

some members of congress/senate who are returning "Abramoff-affiliated" donations, not directly from him, but from his clients? Seems the same to me. Or is it that people are only returning money when it involves a JA client that has been in the news forefront? Duh, never mind, answered my own question - the Pioneer money may be from completely unaffiliated donors...

Have picked up little tidbits on my search. I've been searching through Fred Zeidman. Big Bush buddy, contributor, and appointee from Houston who ends up at the same lobbying firm as Abramoff. Both Jewish. And Bush doesn't know Abramoff? right.. I read another article that said Jewish groups hired JA during prez campaigns too.

I bet someone will get burned on the Medicare bill somehow. I didn't know that Abramoff was a big lobbyist for drug companies like Eli Lilly.

[Sydnie]

41. I don't think he ever met a bank account he didn't like and

wouldn't at least pretend to work for.

Check out the South African stuff he was doing in the 80's. It will curl your hair.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

42. I will. Here's a weird thing I found...

http://www.obligation.org/letterabramoff.html

[Sydnie]

43. Damn! I hadn't seen that before

What are you using as a search term to get taht? I wanna do that too!

I have to digest that article closer. I repeat, DAMN! That was in 2001!

[Laura PourMeADrink]

46. Sydie - Using AskJeeves.com, advanced. Plugging in a

date range 1998-2002 for "last updated." But, that is what I was saying doesn't seem to be working too well, because I get a lot of newer stuff. I think I eliminated "doesn't include" the words "investigate". Hmm, looks like Washingtonian has some...

[0007]

48. Wow! quite a site

[SoCalDem]

44. You have to search archives of LOCAL papers.. The AP/Reuters

versions are too easy to find(and remove).. I have also been looking at hundreds/thousands of personal photo sites.. People take pics and don;t know who else is in the picture.. No luck yet..but I have added some doozies of Bush to my repertoire :)

[Sydnie]

45. Thanks for the tip

I have started doing that too. I wonder if I should send this one to the Washingtonian and see if they can figure out if it is him or not?

[npincus]

22. don't see it... too bad

that cagey fucker probably made sure not to be photographed with Pres. Psycho-Killer... but everybody slips up.

[Octafish]

24. The jerkoff with the "W" on his cap? That's Abramoff.

Of course, anyone who would wear a cap with "W" for the crazy monkey is a jerkoff.

[Sydnie]

28. You think that is him? really?

That is from the 2001 inagural! Not everybody gets invited to sit in the stands with the Senate and the cabinet. I would love for that to be him.

[Octafish]

31. Jack does have a thing for hats.

Check out the shape of the ears. That earlobe is a giveaway, as the nose and the five-o'clock shadow.





The Secret World of Jack Abramoff

http://www.madcowprod.com/06202005.html

Must like to play dress-up like his hero, I guess.

[Sydnie]

33. Heavens Gate? Holy shit!

You know and remember more than I ever attempted to learn about. I would love it if you would do a post on how Heavens Gate is mixed up in all of this, if you know. Can it be that big of a stretch to them look at Waco and Oklahoma?

Damn.

[madokie]

25. got the old magnifing glass out, sure could be

the bottom picture I'm not so sure.

[Sydnie]

27. The bottom picture is a confirmed picture of him

As the the smaller two in post #12.

Here's another from that time period.

[madokie]

29. Ok I'll buy that, the top one looks like him to me for sure.

the way he carries himself and all, the stance

[Sammy Pepys]

30. Looks close....but I don't think it's him n/t

....

[Catherine Vincent]

32. So where's dubya in that pic?

We need pics of Dub and Ab together.

[Sydnie]

34. He is being sworn in as the 43rd President at the time

Makes me think, if that is him, there is someone that was there that has a shot of the two of them at least in the same frame.

[Catherine Vincent]

36. He definitely has that same smarmy smile.

It could be him.

[0007]

47. Right above Colin Powell, is the three footer, Lindsey Graham?

Sure lot of BB eyed fuckers there.....

It does look like Jack Abramoff, but I not 100% sure. His beard shadow is apparent in both photos.
