Not only did President Bush defend the pictures of him and Jack Abramoff yesterday, he reaffirmed that the White House will not release them to the public.

Abramoff raised at least $100,000 for Bush's re-election campaign. The White House has said Abramoff participated in meetings with staff members.

Our Imperial President is once again trying to set the rules. This is the third investigation in which he is asserting "presidential perogative," the other two being the NSA surveillance program and Katrina.

In a mid-morning news conference, Bush told reporters he is skeptical of a proposed law imposing new oversights on his use of the National Security Agency to listen in on electronic communications. He also said that he will block White House aides from testifying about the slow federal response to Hurricane Katrina, and that he will not release official White House photos of himself with former Republican lobbyist Jack Abramoff.

Someone needs to remind Mr. Bush that he is not King Bush.
