Isikoff Confirms Abramoff Shopped Bush Photos
Over the weekend, Time magazine and the Washingtonian both reported on five photos of President Bush with Jack Abramoff, but neither publication revealed its source.
Yesterday, ThinkProgress laid out the case for why the source for the photos was likely Abramoff himself. Last night, our hunch was confirmed.
Appearing on MSNBC, Newsweek correspondent Michael Isikoff reported that it was indeed Abramoff who floated the photographs to Washingtonian. Watch the video:

Full transcript below:
ISIKOFF: As a general rule, if you’re the president … you don’t like pictures out there of you with convicted felons. It sounds like … there’s at least one picture of him with at least one convicted felon and another indicted, so it’s probably not a picture the White House is eager to have out there. The other interesting aspect of this is, while the White House hasn’t put these out, Jack Abramoff has clearly shown them to people. I don’t know anything about Time sources, but I do know that he showed them to Washingtonian magazine, which suggests he may be playing a little bit of a game here. He has, of course, pled guilty already to the Justice Department. But it does raise a question in my mind at least as to whether Abramoff is maybe sort of sending some sort of signal out here: “Hey, I’ve got this stuff.” Maybe he wants something from somebody at the White House, or he wants someone at the White House not to do something, and just sort of subtly playing with people here.
You heard it here first.

Looks like blackmail.
See what happens when you jump into bed with the mob?
These pics must be friggin porn!
If they were just handshakes they could explain it away.
Selling them to the highest bidder. That would explain why The Washingtonian
and TIME have both seen, but arent releasing. They probly wont release them to the net first. They will peddle them in the print edition. Provided the syndicate (read: White House) doesnt "buy" them with some "time served" for Abramoff and Delay.
These photos could be some really dirty stuff. Abramoff has the cabbage to buy dirt on the pope.
When you think dirty pictures, dont forget Hunter S Thompson was about to break a story exposing our "Best and Brightest":

Child Sex Rings and The Murder of Hunter S Thompson (part one)
A little bit of background is probably necessary in order to show that the seemingly bizarre claims by some, that Hunter Thompson was either about to write on the use of explosives on 911( to drop the WTC towers) - or alternatively - that he was to write about a high placed pedophile ring implicating senior US politicians, are both quite valid.
