Rumors

A BUZZFLASH RUMOR ANALYSIS

As any BuzzFlash reader knows, we may be irreverent, but we avoid posting rumors. There's enough immorality, hypocrisy, adultery, war profiteering, lawbreaking, graft, lying, bribery and other nefarious Republican activity to cover that we don't need to troll the gutter for RUMORS.

However, for the first time since we have been online since May of 2000, we have received reports from numerous CREDIBLE sources that a "role model" GOP Governor who touts the sanctity of marriage is about to be served with divorce papers.

Furthermore, this particular governor, should the rumor prove to be true is allegedly being divorced for sexual hijinks that would make the GOP appear to be hypocrites extraordinaire (as if there were any doubt) on both the monogamous marriage issue (i.e., adultery) and the issue of homosexuality.

One more thing, again if this rumor proves true, let us just say it will be a major embarrassment to George W. Bush, Mr. Hypocrisy himself. That is not because Bush has anything whatever to do with the alleged incident and alleged pending divorce suit (and we mean that). It is for reasons that will quickly become apparent should this rumor move to the divorce filing stage.

The rumor further has it that the alleged governor is working

1. Jeb - perfect fit

[mark0rama]

7. I think Jeb's divorce is already in progress...

...or completed.

[caledesi]

11. I think you're thinking of Neil not Jeb. nt

[mark0rama]

13. Yes, you're right.

My bad.

[Champion Jack]

2. Rick Perry--Texas

What do I win?

[Ohio Dem]

5. I concur.

I'd heard something about him on this very board. Don't know if they're true, though. I would be funny if the rumors were true, although it's really none of my damn business.

[Tummler]

3. It's Rick Perry (R-Tex.)

See the umpteen threads in GD about Governor Goodhair's alleged gay tryst.

[caledesi]

10. But don't you think the big "hint" is that if true, it would embarrass

*? I say Jeb. I am here in Florida and we all know that Columba spends most of her time in Miami with her Hispanic friends and is seldom at the Governor's mansion.

Hmmmmmm

[Tummler]

14. Maybe we'll luck out

And Rick Perry's lover will turn out to be Jeb Bush!

[goclark]

16. Jeb? I thought It Was Neil

Are you telling me that Neil just got a divorce and now Jeb is getting one too?

Is Columba the mother of the cute little boy that SeniorB called "the little brown one?"

I have a problem because I thought that they were the FAMILY VALUES group?

[caledesi]

19. I am just placing my bet on Jeb. Oh yeah, the family values

group:
Dan Burton
Bob Barr
Henry Hyde
Newt Gingrich
Rick Scarborough
Bob Livingston

I am sure there are more...

[PragMantisT]

21. Let's not forget the first divorced President

Bonzo.

[david_vincent]

4. Hmm... or Ahnold?

[GRClarkesq]

23. Not close enough to the Prez - gotta be Jeb

[Timefortruth]

6. Rick Perry, Texas Governor

There are a few threads in GD.

[Wickerman]

8. Mrs. Jeb, note to self

avoid flying in small planes. Watch what you eat, avoid parking the car in the garage (those dang things CAN slip out of gear), must stop going on long, solitare walks.

er, or, Maybe that should be Mrs. "Goodhair" Perry. lol. He is one handsome boy.

[rfranklin]

9. Rumors are that it's Perry of Texas...

who was found inflagrante delicto (cornholing his boyfriend) by his wife.

[lovedems]

12. Definately Perry of Texas!

It fits. Texas, sanctity of marriage, the FMA.

Wow. Another blow to the chimp and his republican cohorts in an election year. What will this do to Texas? Will it be like Illinois and turn the voters against the republican party?

That would sweet to say "buh bye now Tom!"

Edit: I should be clear, the voters would turn against the republicans for their hypocrisy. If these rumors are true and Perry is bi or homosexual, they shouldn't turn against him for that. It should be on the stance he took against GLBT community.

[nadinbrzezinski]

17. The turn against the GOP

continues for many reasons, and no they have (for the moment) nothing to do with love trysts.

Now this would only add to the pile of things that are turning many people from the Pukes.

[lovedems]

20. They do have a very long list of hypocrites. I guess the light is

starting to shine on their "do as I say, not as I do" mentality.

Sex scandals sell big with the fundies though.

[notadmblnd]

15. I wonder what sort of untimely demise the wife will succumb to?

I think it will be a suicide, she'll be so despondant because of the divorce, she suffered terribly and was under a Dr's care blah blah blah blah blah blah blah

[sonias]

18. Please, please let it be true about Perry (TX Gov.)

Yes indeed the rumors have been flying all over today on many boards. I do not wish his family any ill will, but if there is any idiot governor that deserves instant karma, it would be Rick Perry. I know many would say Jeb or the Groper would be higher on the list, and I do think they will come into their own one day too.

Let's refresh our memory shall we. This little pic from this summer showed the frustration of many voters in Texas. This guy is standing in front of the Governor's mansion (yes ricky perry's current home) around the time perry was screwing Texas for the repukes.


The added bonus would be that Tom DeLay's legislative raping of the Texas electorate during redistricting may get closer scrutiny.

:evilgrin:

[Taeger]

22. Do you think ...

Do you think that Tom Delay may have blackmailed Rick Perry over his alleged gay affairs ?????? :spank:

[snippy]

26. A real "added bonus" would be if it was DeLay in Perry's bed.

Of course, this would be Clinton's fault.

[Jackpine Radical]

29. You people think too small.

It's DeLay AND Jeb in Perry's bed.

[GRClarkesq]

24. Still think its Jeb

I dont see Bush taking that big a hit over Perry. Perry would be temporary until next news cycle, Jeb story would linger.

[jburton]

25. It's Perry (R-Tx)

Saw a snip about this in the D Magazine blog.

It just mentioned divorce, not the reasons why.

FYI- D Magazine is VERY Republican. I was surprised to find it there.

[Dirty Hippie]

27. So what does Buzzflash mean by this???

But in hearing this rumor, which again -- and we're being honest here -- does not in any way directly involve George W. Bush, we are, however, reminded of his strange exchange that Bush had with the aide of the Canadian Prime Minister ("Bush Tells Canadian Prime Minister's Scott that He has a Prettier Face Than Bush's Scott: We Are Not Making This Up!"):

The President chuckled. "Well, you got a pretty face," he told the surprised Mr. Reid. He wasn't done. "You got a pretty face," he said again. "You're a good-looking guy. Better looking than my Scott anyway."


That gives the flavor of the rumor involving this governor and what would be hypocrisy of the most extreme sort, were it to be revealed as true.

[Florida_Geek]

28. I am voting BOTH

While Perry is probably the one with his problems with boys, Jeb has his own problems.

Consider if BOTH are served before the election. :party::party::party::party::party::party:

[scottxyz]

30. Rick Perry - Republican governor of Texas

31. How about this? A 3-way

Ahnold, Jeb & Rick. In a hot tub. With Santorum.

Oh the hairspray!!!!

32. I am betting this is only a parody of what Drudge did

the story is the story.
