The Washingtonian just put out a piece providing some more context to the Abramoff photos that feel just days away from seeing the light of day.

First, the Time magazine photo recently published is not one of the five photos seen by Washingtonian National Editor Kim Eisler and which he wrote about in his February piece for the magazine. Second, Eisler did see a picture taken at that same event. Third, there are some more details about what's going on in these pictures (remember: "The White House has repeatedly claimed that Bush did not know Abramoff and that the pictures must have been taken at a White House holiday party, when the President shakes hands with hundreds of people he doesn't know.")

In the photograph taken at the same event as the one published by Time, Abramoff said he and the President were discussing working out with weights.

Other photographs included a picture of Bush and Abramoff standing together with "Cheshire cat grins"; pictures of Bush and what Abramoff characterized as the "bearded fatter me"; a picture of Bush chatting with Abramoff's twin daughters ("Oh, you are twins; I have twins," Abramoff quoted Bush as saying); a picture of Bush, House speaker Dennis Hastert, and Abramoff's children; and a picture of Laura Bush with Abramoff's wife, Pam, and the twin girls, who had led the Pledge of Allegiance at the event (said Abramoff: "Laura went ga-ga over their being twins").

And it sounds like somebody is feeling a bit lonely and betrayed as of late...

A frustrated Abramoff, who feels he has been abandoned by many of his conservative friends, added, "They will come up with excuse after excuse as to how and why he did not know me. I could have spent four months alone with him in Bolivia and he would not know me."
