7. Weeks ago, perhaps when Kitty Kelley's book hit stores
... the Ashe rumors were "all the rage" again. I read a clever comment somewhere (probably here at DU) that Ashe was "Bush's ambassador to Pole-land." I never forgot that line!

10. "Some have said" that Ashe is Bush's longtime lover
Now, I don't know whether the allegations are true or false, but "questions have been raised."

15. Bunnypants Does Well With The Polish Vote
Being in Chicago, I've seen the GOOP make inroads in many of the immigrant Poles that have come here in the past 15 years. They see Raygun as a saint...along with the Pope & Lech Welesa that "freed" them from the Soviets. Poppy was the man who was around when the Commies were chased out, and Bunnypants has given Poland top shelf treatment in tossing foreign aid around.

While it doesn't mean a thing now...since most of these votes are in heavily Democratic areas (Chicago, Detroit) but might have an effect in swing states like Ohio and Pennsylvania.

16. Betty Bowers came up with a new button: Remember Poland
http://www.cafepress.com/bettybowers/346081

From her newsletter:

Dear Members of the Republican (GOP) Guard:

I am just back from Miami and I am pleased to say that our handsome President thought that the debates went wonderfully and according to plan. Just like Iraq. In your giddiness from the relief of your disloyal vision, once again, being corrected by the balm of our President's thoughtful speechwriters, don't forget to take time out of your day to stop someone on the street and implore him or her to "Remember Poland!" No, it doesn't have quite the ring to it that "Remember the Maine" did in a previous wholly discretionary war abetted by powerful journalists (well, owners of former-journalists -- then, Mr. Hearst – now, Mr. Murdoch). But it is important to note that should those "nucular" troublemakers in Pyongyang get feisty tomorrow, Poland's cavalry could be within a day's ride of the Korean Peninsula by Christmas. Which is heartening, as we have no troops left of our own to send, as they are all otherwise engaged protecting the oilfields of Saddam bin Laden . . . or was it Osama Hussein?

The light dawns. I kept thinking, now why is Poland so much on *'s mind these days??? How could I forget that poor Victor was shipped off in June to keep him out of the way? * must be getting awfully twitchy by now.
