The White House acknowledged yesterday 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. "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."

Ooh what a scoop for the Post, Abramoff was at the White House, Oh My God! Impeach Now! Abramoff visited the White House, "Danger, Danger, Will Robinson!"

What a big nothing. The White House is right, the President meets with thousands of people every year. Here is the notorious photo...

As you can see quite clearly...err, ahem, obviously President Bush and Abramoff are really close buddies...I mean, they're in the same room, after all. These pictures from Time Magazine are the dagger at the heart of the White House. Proof positive that the President has his picture taken with people:

Note how the Post so cleverly entitles this "the 2001 meeting with Abramoff." Here's the third photo:

You know if you chose to you could play "where's Waldo"...err, "where's Jack" with these photos. Yep it's obvious to me that President Bush is corrupt. He's shaking hands with an Indian tribal chairman and that chairman is an "Abramoff client."
