Josh alerts us to a company called Reflections Photography whose president just up and decided to delete all pictures they had of Jack Abramoff with President Bush.  Funny how that happens just when people at the White House worry that something like that might make it onto TV or something.  She claims the decision to delete was made because they weren't "relevant", to what she wouldn't say...Daily Delay says it might be because she's a Republican political donor hoping to help sweep this under the rug. 

Update (1/26/06): Oddly enough the President in his press conference yesterday used the words "not relevant to the investigation" when asked about any Abramoff pictures.  Don't know about you, but that sounds like an Administration talking point to me and something we're likely to hear more of.  Funny that the owner of a digital photography gallery who happens to be a Republican political donor and who just recently ordered the deletion of all pictures of the President with Mr. Abramoff would use practically the same words when defending her actions. 

Do you think maybe somebody called and asked her to get rid of some embarrassing pictures?  I think I do...

This one's gonna make it out into the mainstream media. I E-mailed NBC this afternoon and asked that David Gregory look into it at tommorow's gaggle.

The pictures are to this scandal what the 18 minute tape gap was to Watergate. Not only would they prove Bush was figuratively in bed with Abramoff, but it will prove Bush directed the indian tribe shenanigans and ordered Gus Boulis murdered. Keep focusing your time and energy on those photos, folks.

Well, its not like 76% of Americans polled don't think the White House should fully disclose all of its contacts with "Bush Pioneer" Abramoff...oh wait yes they do:

Come on, the press hasn't had something this silly to run after since oh, sleepovers in the Lincoln bedroom, Johnny Chung, the Buddhist Temple fundraiser, Paula Jones, Marc Rich, etc. and lord knows those scandals had no discernible impact on the Clinton presidency or how we talk about it to this day. You're right, absolutely no place for this story to go.
