Everybody loves pictures

And the AP today lists the Republicans who have begun to call for the release of Our Dear Embattled Leader's collection of Casino Jack snaps.
Republican lawmakers said Sunday that President Bush should publicly disclose White House contacts with Jack Abramoff, the lobbyist who has pleaded guilty to felony charges in an influence-peddling case.
And ODEL has responded with his current variation of "ongoing investigation".
The president has refused to reveal how much access Abramoff had to the White House, but has said he does not know Abramoff personally. Bush has said federal prosecutors are welcome to see the records of Abramoff's contacts if they suspect something inappropriate, but he has not released them publicly....

....Bush said he had his picture taken with Abramoff an unknown number of times, but he said he doesn't remember taking them and the two never sat down and had a discussion. Bush said he has had his photo taken with thousands of people, but that doesn't mean he knows them well.
Let's see, Jack was a member of the transition team, major dealmaker and fundraiser, Bush Pioneer and ODEL, who is politically blessed with a keen memory for faces and names, doesn't remember Jack. Must be the long term damage from the coke and booze kicking in.
