Ruh Row....I'll bet Gannon is/was one of the Hookers....

[LeftHander]

If the hooker scandal goes back years...

This would make sence how and why Gannon got where he was.

He comes out. And boom....the cards fall.

God this makes me sick. That it will take a sex scandal to bring down this fucked up GOP cabal in Washington and not the incompetence, cronyism, lies and lawlessness.

[babylonsister]

1. Shots have been fired; the avalanche will hopefully follow. nt

[slybacon9]

2. claaaaaassic. what if they all turned out to be MALE hookers...

BWAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAH

[wordpix]

8. that would certainly cause the fundie wackos to question fearless leader*

[AndyA]

12. There have been lots of rumors about Bush anyway.

Perhaps it's true...he really does like the boys.

Another Mary Cheney, a contradiction of life.

[riderinthestorm]

29. Is there a single picture of George and Laura cuddling?

Kissing with real affection/passion? Canoodling and fooling around?

I don't have a lot of my husband and I since my friends weren't total voyeurs but there's at least one or two of us getting frisky.

You'd think there would be a lot of George and Laura "happy couple" photos even from way back yonder but I can't think of any that don't have George and Laura standing stiffly rigid, barely touching....

That ole body language stuff.

[Missy Vixen]

32. He patted her ass on live national TV

right before the election. I believe she was making a speech at the RNC; I thought my eyeballs were going to pop out of my head. How utterly inappropriate. He also bragged to a member of the press during one of his interminable Crawford vacations that he and the First Lady had "spent some quality time together this morning".

What a clueless ass.

I don't care for Laura Bush at all, but to manhandle one's wife in public, then brag about a personal matter to a member of the press? I actually felt sorry for her. I'm thinking there are probably a lot of wives that would feel the same. I must be boring and prudish, but I'd want to be treated like a lady by my husband in public, and I'm betting most other women would, too.

39. spent some quality time together this morning

HE may have, but i bet pickles slept through it....

:evilgrin:

[KAT119]

34. The * twins were reportedly conceived by invitro fertilization-petrie dish

[Drum]

11. "Family values, my arse." (literally!)

It would be stunning if the GOP's money laundry turns out to involve homosexuality, a factor that would have some dire consequences for their true-believer base and their "straight-talkin'" rhetoric.

Do I hear dominos colliding?

[underpants]

13. Wouldn't surprise me at all-a theory I have bandied about

Many of the most strident Bush (actually neo-con supporters) have something about them that smacks of homosexuality about them. Gaydar and all that.

I have long thought that the foot soldiers were recruited from Yale and Harvard (best and brightest and all) and this not was the perfect thing to keep them in line. They can't turn on them or they would be outed and their career finished forever.

Just a theory.

[calimary]

30. Makes sense if you consider what LBJ is credited with saying:

Another DUer posted it elsewhere here - language to the effect of "I don't trust a man until I've got his pecker in my pocket."

Wouldn't surprise me if there were LOTS of bush "loyalists" who are loyal for such a reason.

[Gabi Hayes]

37. a way with words:

"I never trust a man unless I've got his pecker in my pocket."
"I want real loyalty. I want someone who will kiss my ass in Macy's window, and say it smells like roses."

[LeftHander]

17. gay? "...not that there is anything wrong with that...."

But the pay to play....different story

[Kailassa]

20. There is plenty wrong with anyone using their status to stomp gays

down into the mud. And if the stompers are closet gays, that makes their stomping all the more obscene.

However I don't believe these guys are so much gay as pedophiles. It's the classic: "look at him and get shocked and don't look at what I'm doing," approach.

[LeftHander]

25. good point I agree....nt

[Fridays Child]

18. Poppy barely dodged a similar bullet, if I recall.

[goclark]

31. Yes! I read that story about some little boys and an orphanage

Something about Poppy and his pals were involved?

What happened to that story.

I was in shock reading it, I couldn't believe it to be true at the time but now that Jeff is in the WH, I'll believe anything!

[Fridays Child]

33. It evaporated but there's a book...

“The Franklin Cover-Up: Child Abuse, Satanism, and Murder in Nebraska” by John W. DeCamp

[goclark]

36. I googled ...George HW Bush and sex and came

up with some unreal articles!

This is the same stuff still happening!
Oh my God!


Same book, different cover ~ oh my God!

[ClassWarrior]

3. Any port in a storm.

And this is a hurricane.

NGU.

[0007]

4. It appears there may be a connection.

[tinfoilinfor2005]

9. Where? What? When? Who? Why?

Sorry, I just now turned on my computer and saw this story going on. So I am full of ????????

[thereismore]

5. sounds like Randi also thinks so... wow nt

[LeftHander]

19. that makes me randy....nt

[kainah]

6. good guess! n/t

[tridim]

7. Exactly.. "Give me a cushy press corps job or I'll squeal"

Gannon seems to be the nexus of the entire GOP culture of corruption.

[Drum]

14. Blewinsky.

The bottom brick in the pile.

[chefgirl]

10. Ahhh, irony

Actually, I've been praying for something exactly like this to happen, since S.E.X. seems to be the only thing that really gets the attention of right wing panty sniffers.

Somehow though, I think they'll find a way to diminish any Republican sex scandal in comparison with 'The Clenis'.

-chef-

[Catherine Vincent]

15. Glad I saved a lot of those Gannon pics! They're probably all scrubbed.

[Gabi Hayes]

38. there's lots worse out there

[NYCGirl]

16. Why would they want a washed-up old hooker like him? They can get

lots of younger prostitutes.

[jbnow]

22. Younger isn't always what they

look for in a "top".

[NYCGirl]

23. There must be lots of younger, better hung and all around better looking

whores around.

Edited to add: And much more discreet. Gannon's obviously a talker.

[KittyWampus]

27. Come on NYCGirl, you know the answer!

Cronyism.

Somebody liked Gannon and for this crowd, that's enough.

But we can suspect that whoever liked Gannon was probably in a powerful position & didn't/doesn't have to answer to very many people.

[peacetalksforall]

21. Depends on whether or not Gannon plays poker.

In reply to your post -

"I'll bet Gannon is/was one of the Hookers...."

[Sequoia]

24. Funny, how Democratic sex bothers those crooks

but their preverted sex is far more sinster.

[robbedvoter]

26. Projection, baby!

True, they are pedofiles, pay for it and tend to have dead interns in the office, but could project it all on the enemy!

[earth mom]

28. Gannon-one of the hookers? No doubt. nt

[WinkyDink]

35. Any port in a storm, ITA.

I'll delight in the irony, after Clinton.
