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

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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!

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'.

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.
