Bush and Abramoff
A whole lot is being made about the five or six photos showing Bush and Abramoff together. And yes, those would be visually damning, but let's not forget the bigger picture here.
Susan Ralston, one of Rove's top aides, came directly from Abramoff's office. I recognize that Bush/Abramoff connections would be damining, but really, aren't Rove/Abramoff ties much more significant? How many pieces of legislation are written off Bush's desk vs. Rove's? Who sets the agenda and manages the negotiations to get things done for this administration.
So perhaps we should be focusing on Rove's connections with Abramoff rather than talking about Bush's.

No truer words... Are any pieces of legislation written by Bush? Perhaps, but I doubt it.

Yeah, and as an aside, Ralston is the one who allegedly Rove asked to alter the phone logs to show no call to Matt Cooper. Reportedly, she gave a deposition to Fitzgerald on the matter.

Yea, the focus never really has to be on Bush, he's on vacation. It's Rove and Cheney that are the deal makers in this admin.
