If I were Karl Rove. . .

. . .What would I do today? Here's one possibility. Lots of people have been interested in pictures of President Bush together with Jack Abramoff. Let's imagine that through great effort, someone manages to find a picture that shows Bush and Abramoff on much chummier terms than the White House would like us to believe. All the major news outlets pick up the story, and then, just before the news cycle hits a peak, a conservative blogger discovers that the picture is a forgery. All attention moves from the Bush-Abramoff relationship to the ingenuity of those who would seek to dethrone bring down the President. Sound familiar?

Sounds like Classic Rovian strategy. If pictures are released I'll take them with a grain of salt until this thing plays out.
Personally I still find it hard to believe that Bush knew nothing about Abramoff and his dealings in Washington. Hell, everybody else knew him.

Likewise I'll take any photos with a grain of salt until they're validated...
I'm not sure any legit ones will see the light of day... I don't know why the POTUS would want or need to take a bribe, but the fact that they are dilligently scrubbing the records of all photographic evidence of contact is one of those facts that just smell wrong. On the other hand, it's the standard MO of stonewalling and obfuscating.
