"How and why does Bush have these pictures? Are they WH pics? Is Bush the only one who has them? Confused?"

The President addressed this at least a couple of times at the presser the other day (my guess is the DNC sent its questions to the MSM).

The Prez said he has his picture taken w many people, 'including many of you' (LOL!) When it was brought up again he reiterrated he doesn't ever remember meeting Abramoff and that just over the past holidays, he had over 9,000 pictures taken. He said he thinks it couldn't have been anything more than a 'grip and grin' (LOL! love that line)

Just dawned on me. IF the Republican sin is taking Abramoff money directly, what should Democrats do about George Soros money they've been taking for years now? Give it back? Fat chance.

Wherever they are I have been unable to find them on the net I suspect someone has them and are intending to sell them to some newspaper for some incredibly large sum of money.

Whether the public will be that interested and whether whoever has them will get their asking price is anyones guess.

Mara: The base is pro-filibuster. Dems will not provide enough votes for f-buster.

Kristol: 90% of Dems will vote against confirmation of Alito. The Democrat party is at risk... turning against Gen. Hayden.

Williams: Domestic issues will come to fore. Alito not Bush's choice, forced by base to nominate.

Brit: Distinct majority of Americans favor judicial conservative. Alito very careful judge. Democrats are going to look bad opposing him.

That's it, panel!
