Raw Story is reporting that TIME will be reporting
Bush trying to round up all photos of President with Abramoff We need to do some work here folks.
Aides to President George W. Bush are trying to identify all the photos that may exist of the President and lobbyist Jack Abramoff together, TIME's White House Correspondents Mike Allen and Matt Cooper report in Monday editions

Press secretary Scott McClellan said Abramoff might have attended large gatherings with Bush but added, "The President does not know him, nor does the President recall ever meeting him."
You see, first its Bush distancing himself from Abramoff, next it will be Tom Delay. I found some articles and photos of Bush showing his support for Tom Delay back in April 2005. Let's see if anyone can come up with some photo-ops of Bush with Abramoff.
For some reason during earlier blog discussions I focused on trying to find proof of Bush's 2005 Air Force One trip with Tom Delay. As I said, it won't be long before the White House, will be looking to destroy those photos too.
Anyways, here's some of the Delay-Bush stuff:
Newsweek
Washington Times
San Francisco Gate
NPR
Now remember, these stories are talking about how Bush supported Tom Delay during the initial allegations.
But while the president has steadfastly backed DeLay, Tuesday's appearance took Bush's public show of support to a new level.
"I appreciate the leadership of Congressman Tom DeLay in working on important issues that matter to the country," Bush said before he began plugging for Social Security overhaul.
DeLay, an influential conservative on Capitol Hill, is facing questions about money used to pay for some of his foreign trips, about political fundraising for Texas elections and about his ties to a lobbyist, Jack Abramoff, who is under federal criminal investigation.
All of this is making me wonder whether there were any published photos of President Bush meeting with the Indian tribes and Jack Abramoff. Now that would be worth something. Does anyone know somebody from one of these tribes who has close enough connections to tribal leaders and casino operators? I could just see that photo being hung on some office wall in the Indian casino or in tribal headquarters.
Alright, Kossacks, here's your homework assignment, if you choose to accept the mission, find some photos of Bush and Abramoff together.
