GOP Ethics a very, very funny thing !

With DeLay in on the 'investigation' of Jack Abramoff, it looks like Jack will 'get off' and be back in business as usual pretty quick!
Talk about Dracula [DeLay] being put in charge of the blood bank [sham GOP investigation on Jack Abramoff]........:eek:
Guess this is how GOPers are restoring 'honor & morality' back to government after Clinton's hummer....

DeLay Lands Coveted Appropriations Spot

WASHINGTON -
Indicted Rep. Tom DeLay, forced to step down as the No. 2 Republican in the House, scored a soft landing Wednesday as GOP leaders rewarded him with a coveted seat on the Appropriations Committee.


DeLay, R-Texas, also claimed a seat on the subcommittee overseeing the Justice Department, which is currently investigating an influence-peddling scandal involving disgraced lobbyist Jack Abramoff and his dealings with lawmakers.

The WH has refused to release pictures of Abramoff and Bush, denying, in fact, that Bush knew Jack.

The official photography agency for the WH has scrubbed its web site of all pictures of Bush and Abramoff.

Finally, a picture of the two of them at a meeting has surfaced. What's particularly interesting about this picture is that the WH had denied that Abramoff was even at this meeting in the first place. Oh you know, like people just come and go at the WH and there's nobody really keeping track at all. Yeah right.

White House Acknowledges Abramoff Photo

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The White House on Sunday acknowledged the authenticity of the first photograph made public that shows President Bush and embattled lobbyist Jack Abramoff, while stressing it does not mean the two had a personal relationship.

The photo, published by The New York Times and Time magazine, shows Bush shaking hands with an Abramoff client, chairman Raul Garza of the Kickapoo Indian tribe in Texas. Abramoff's bearded face appears in the background, small and slightly blurry.

White House spokesman Allen Abney said the photo was taken in 2001, when the president dropped by a meeting of about two dozen state legislators to thank them for supporting tax relief.

Originally, the White House said it had no record of Abramoff's attendance at the meeting.

"We now know that Mr. Abramoff attended this meeting," Abney said Sunday. "The president has taken tens of thousands of pictures. This does not mean he has a personal relationship with each individual that is in those pictures."

The White House would not release the photo or any others that Bush had taken with Abramoff, who helped raise more than $100,000 for the president's re-election campaign. Abramoff has since pleaded guilty to federal charges related to an influence-peddling scandal on Capitol Hill.

Bush has said that he had his picture taken with Abramoff an unknown number of times, but he doesn't remember any of them.

Contrast that with Abramoff having written emails that describe how the Shrub has an amazing memory and had even talked to Jack about his children.

"He knew Jack Abramoff before he didn't know him."
