TPM:
The House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform released six photographs cited in today's report that show President Bush meeting with jailed uber-lobbyist Jack Abramoff.
The pictures contradict the White House's previous statements that the President met with Abramoff only two times:
While the Committee obtained no evidence that Mr. Abramoff ever personally lobbied the President or that the President personally directed an action in response to a request by Mr. Abramoff, the Committee did receive evidence that Mr. Abramoff met the President and was photographed with him six times.
Four of the six photographs occurred at political receptions.
In a statement, the White House spokesman Tony Fratto responded to the House committee report "There's nothing new of any significance in it. it is warmed-up leftovers. It confirms what has become clear in all of this -- Abramoff was spectacularly unsuccessful in influencing administration policy."
The rest of the photos are below the fold:

A picture speaks a thousand words and Jack with his best friend George W. says it all. I wish Bush would at lease tell a lie that someone might believe. Every lie he's told has proof he is lying. Maybe that's why he drinks so much and uses drugs to help get by.
