Not even guilt by association, but guilt by physical proximity
by Jack GrantI don’t particularly care for President George W. Bush as a man or as a politician, but even I find this a bit of a reach:
White House confirms Bush-Abramoff photo
Acknowledges 2001 photograph, saying it does not imply a relationship
The photo shows a bearded man in the background that merely proves that Abramoff was within 20 yards of Bush. If that’s all that is involved in establishing a relationship, then I have a LOT more relationships than I ever thought possible!
Yes, Bush has a growing credibility problem that is not helped when he says he does not remember any photos taken with Abramoff, but this photo shows nothing other than the idiotic nature of some of the tactics used in politics today.
