This morning, a friend couldn’t believe that the AP wire was pushing a heavy-breathing story headlined: “Reports: Bush, Abramoff Together in Photos.” (Try to find AP doing the same thing in the Clinton second term for Christmas tree pictures of Hillary Clinton smiling next to cocaine smuggler Jorge Cabrera at the White House.)

This is a story, but it’s cast wrong. The big Washington angle is this: “Media, Democrats Hot To Publish Bush, Abramoff Together In Photos.”
