Unmasked: the George W. Bush the president does not want the world to see

[JoFerret]

http://www.sundayherald.com/44773

AWOL, cocaine, abortion, Arbusto, Karla Faye Tucker and even Jennifer Fitzgerald and starring Laura Bush as a drug dealer.

The full smirk hypocrite exposed.

[xray s]

1. NBC is doing three days on this next week on their morning show

Now THAT'S entertainment!

[vickie]

3. Hopefully the cable channel squawkers will give Ms. Kelley the

same time and coverage that they gave to the Swift Boat Liars.

[dennis4868]

4. I heard Larry King....

turned her down because she hurt Nancy Reagan's feelings in another book she wrote.

[PartyPooper]

13. Larry is a bosom buddy of Babs and her clan.

That's why you won't see Kitty Kelley on his show.

[RamboLiberal]

22. Kelley interview is with Matt Lauer

I bet he'll be a ahole to her! I used to like Lauer but I think he's become a GOP bootlicker.

[otohara]

26. I Used To Like Him

now I can't stand any of them - not a one. Especially the morning crews on ABC/NBC ---- CBS isn't too bad, if I do tune in, I tune to CBS, they are pretty harmless

[ikojo]

43. Matt Lauer will probably treat Kitty Kelley with the same lack of

respect he gave to Michael Moore. Those who criticize * are expected to have PhD level dissertations to back up their claims, while * and his whole administration can lie about reasons to go to war and the media just act as cheerleaders. They don't ask * or those in his (mis) administration for proof on WMDs or Saddam's alleged connections to Al-Queda. Anything proffered by * is accepted as if it was given to Moses on Sinai.

This Jew just says OY VEY!

[Pretty_in_CodePink]

63. I loved when Michael Moore confronted Matt on that point

Basically said Iraq could have been avoided if Matt had asked the same type of tough questions to Bush Adm. What I love about Michael is he doesn't flinch when asked a challenging question. Hope Kitty can handle herself as well.

[ewagner]

2. Wow!

All the sh*t in one, concise article...........

[krkaufman]

33. Yes, again from a foreign source. n/t

[Randers]

5. "Laura Bush as a drug dealer."

thats pretty funny

[virgdem]

7. Yes, who wudda thunk that Pickles was a doper...

Go Figure!

[alittlelark]

15. WAS a doper???

I think the only difference now is that she has the Secret Service to do her pick-ups.

[virgdem]

37. I was being facetious...

I wouldn't put anything past any of the BFEE. Although I must admit that her school marm looks are quite deceiving.

[jmowreader]

46. Two differences

She doesn't have to deal to raise the cash for her next fix.

And she's on to harder drugs now.

[Pretty_in_CodePink]

64. Justs a $20 co-pay for sedatives

[JoFerret]

65. No bureaucratic nightmare

when you score from Pickles

[punpirate]

17. I think she's a pretty good example...

... of the old joke about doing something stupid while stoned, to which one says, "well, why do you think they call it dope?"

[mreh]

59. If you were married to that abusive momma’s boy

that is her husband, wouldn’t you do drugs? :shrug:

[leesa]

60. You mean marrying Dumbo?

[JoFerret]

9. ...and while we are digging dirt

good to see the Fitzgerald affair that so dismayed Barbara Bush getting an airing. The whole BFEE is beneath contempt.

[steely]

29. "I like to fold the bags like this..."

[JoFerret]

30. ...and bake them into my cookies

along with the little chocolate chips. Place on a greased baking sheet and pop into the oven. Preheat....

[fishwax]

6. Great Article

Oh, to see this line about * in a domestic newspaper:

"Despite his dodgy past"

:evilgrin:

[JoFerret]

11. W was called Lips in college

Here's another Australian source - this one suggests the book may even tell the story of W's affair with Victor Ashe. Full of salacious hints about the tribe of Bush

[PartyPooper]

31. Karl Rove's new mantra for Junior: "Things Go Better With Coke."

:bounce:

[speedoo]

8. Wow.

Even though most of this stuff cannot be proven, I have to think it is going to drive up anti-coWard turnout.

[frylock]

10. nor can it be refuted..

as evidenced by the mysterious lack of libel suits.

[luaneryder]

39. Yes, very odd that

Some of this stuff has slow leaked before and the lid was put on, but never a libel lawsuit which is something that would get press.

[truthisfreedom]

12. he must have really snuck around with his coke usage. except for bath, i

doubt there's many people out there who did hard narcotics with the great misleader. part of the problem of proving this stuff is that he was a pretty unsociable ass.

[Ms. Clio]

14. What goes around, comes around

In a reversal of the sniper attacks launched on John Kerry and his military record by the Swiftboat Veterans for Truth organisation’s adverts on TV, an outfit calling itself Texans for Truth is going to start running television ads asking if Bush ever served with a unit in Alabama. The Republicans have already rubbished the planned ads as unfair and playing dirty.

These people are pyschotic.

This article is a thing of pure beauty.

Thanks so very much for posting it.

[PartyPooper]

16. I hope this book drives Junior, Pickles, Poppy, and Babs absolutely NUTS!

:evilgrin:

[punpirate]

20. Someone really needs to get...

... Kitty Kelley a different wig, a fake ID, tickets, and plant her in the front row of a drones-only Bush rally about ten days after the books hit the stands... just to see what happens.... :P

[Demonaut]

18. Only in The UK would this truth be printed, the US media is still

sucking it's collective thumbs

[JoFerret]

54. But the storm is coming....

19. George W Bush in gay relationship - Aussie paper

http://euskalherria.indymedia.org/es/2004/09/16830.shtml

[PartyPooper]

24. Great link. Thanks! Karl Rove must be in a raging fit over this!

:evilgrin:

[Judi Lynn]

34. Yes, THANKS for that link. At the bottom of the page, there's another link

concerning _{Bush #41} and Jennifer Fitzgerald at a NEWSMAX site! I had to check, unable to believe Newsmax would EVER print a word of questionable material about the elder _Bush but, by golly, they do describe a complete, torrid relationship with another woman by the Poppy.

The new information about the _Bushes is going to get them all really cranky. Spreading negative material about people has ALWAYS been the weapon the Republicans wielded maniacally and brutally against Democrats, even other Republicans. It will be so comical if we get a chance to see them squirm just a bit.

[Gregorian]

21. That's the stuff. Go, go, go, full steam ahead. Kerry to the rescue!

I want to enjoy the weeks ahead. I want to laugh at Bush, and cheer for his demise. It couldn't get any worse. It just couldn't. So here's to the drug addled fratboy. Time's up, pop the corn.

[RamboLiberal]

23. Reports of Dubya doing cocaine in the mid-60's

Just a dumb question that came up with a discussion of the Kelley book on a local liberal station last week. I know LSD, marijauna and heroin were common then, but what about cocaine? Was it something in the Ivy League? I know coke became popular in the 70's, but just curious about it in the 60's?

Can anyone comment on that.

[JoFerret]

25. This coke use allegation includes when Poppy was Pres

- so 1988-1992 at Camp David. Coke very prevalent then and was always around for those with access and money. Apparently the book outlines just how Poppy and cocaine are closely associated.

[RamboLiberal]

27. I know about the coke in the 80's

but reading the Sunday Herald it mentioned he started coke in the mid-60's in college. I'm just asking how prevalent it was then. I can't remember hearing about coke back then. Course I was only in my mid-teens.

From Sunday Herald

The book claims that Bush first used coke at university in the mid-1960s.

[JoFerret]

28. As I said - it was available

....for those with access and who could afford it although not as easily available as in the 80's.

[enigmatic]

35. Coke has been widely available since the early 1900's...

Hollywood in the 20's was greased by cocaine..

[Paulie]

58. Read "Sherlock Holmes"

The character liked cocaine. :D :D :D

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

32. Amazingly enough,

the Orange County (Florida) Library System actually carries this book. I'm surprised.

[Erika]

36. Laura Bush Kills Another But Is Never Charged?

She states that she ran a stop sign and rammed into another car killing another kid. But she's never charged? OK.

[Bucky]

57. It was her ex-BF (well, he's "ex'd" now, anyway). Possibly a fiancee

Hey, give Laura a break. If she felt like she had to do her fiancee/boyfriend in at the time, there's a good chance he was a creep who needed killin'. Instead she waited until she found herself a fella who didn't beat on her or run around on her and provided a decent home for their kids.

'Course living with a doof like that, maybe it helps for her to puff a little reefer every now and then. I defy you to marry George Bush and not need some major chilling out assistance from time to time. And sure he's a 'tard and a crappy president with an utter disregard for Constitutional proprieties, but I repeat, he doesn't beat on her.

Of course, looking at the circumstantial evidence, it may just turn out that it's her who's been beating on him. For God's sake, Georgie, stay the hell out of the White House driveway!!

[Swamp Rat]

38. THIS is the real Bush!

He's an alien lizard!

[Catchawave]

40. Kitty's #2 on Amazon :)

41. This article explains something: The Bushes are exactly

like their buddies, the Saudi royal family, who also preaches the straight and narrow but are a bunch of alcoholic whore-mongers.

48. Drugs were widely available and used especially from late 1960's on

I can attest to the fact that cocaine was widely available from the late 1960's on at the Ivy Leagues and larger communities, especially among those with money and connections who could travel. I went on spring break to Florida in the early 1970's and saw heavy cocaine use among otherwise law-abiding middle class kids, many who were students at northern Ivy League colleges.

[JNelson6563]

50. Great screen name!

Are you a former Republican? A moderate who doesn't like the neo-con agenda? Just curious. When Bush came to my town my favorite protestors were the ones carrying "Republicans for Kerry" signs. Cool.

[belle]

44. I liked this:

Proof of coke use in the late 1980s and early 1990s would mean that Bush used the drug after his reported conversion to Christianity. If that was proved to be the case then the one thing that protects Bush from his hard- partying past – his born-again status and his repentance for past sins – would fall to bits. The cocaine claim is therefore political dynamite.


...oh please, oh please...

[alarcojon]

53. Yes, that would be huge

I think that even if definitive proof of Bush's coke use in the 70's were to come to light, he could paper it over because "the Lord saved me from all my past wickedness." But tooting up after he found God? I don't know what excuse he could come up with, but it would sure be entertaining to watch!

[ikojo]

47. So happy to see this piece of human filth receive the

same treatment the right-wing press gave Clinton for EIGHT years. So what if much of it cannot be proven (because people may have been paid off or worse..). Most of what the right-wingers, including the "REVERAND" Jerry Fallwell, said about Clinton was false but what it does do is force the Bushies to spend time refuting this stuff.

Also, hopefully there is SOMEONE out there who will look at this and then look at the product being sold by Rove, Inc and see that they have been duped.

56. Bush's dark past makes his future all the brighter

http://news.ft.com/cms/s/4afd1b24-050c-11d9-8f8e-00000e2511c8.html

<<It is one of the great inequities of this campaign that Mr Kerry's actions from more than 30 years ago continue to dog him, while Mr Bush has displayed a Teflon-like ability to slip questions about his reckless and irresponsible youth.

....

Mr Bush has faced questions about his past throughout his political career. Unlike Mr Kerry, he has managed to brush them off with a simple response: "When I was young and irresponsible, I was young and irresponsible."

Cavalier though it may be, that defence was sufficient in the 2000 election because both Mr Bush and Vice- President Al Gore were considered paragons of personal virtue compared with President Bill Clinton.

The one personal smudge for Mr Bush in that campaign was a story about his arrest decades earlier on drunk-driving charges. Karl Rove, the president's chief political strategist, believes as many as 5m evangelical voters stayed away from the polls as a result.

Other political analysts dispute those figures. Yet in a perverse way, the suggestion that Mr Bush had a dark past may have actually enhanced his appeal as a born-again Christian.

"Americans like the story of the sinner saved by prayer," says Karlyn Bowman, a political scientist at the American Enterprise Institute, a Washington think-tank. "It's a very religious country. They love the theme of redemption."

Four years later, it seems the shelf life may have expired on any tales from Mr Bush's lost years. Most voters have long since come to judgment about his character. They are more likely now to focus on a record that has included his handling of the worst terror attack on US soil, two foreign wars and a massive slate of tax cuts.

As the campaign enters the final stretch, there are signs that the Democrats may have the most to lose by rattling the skeletons in the president's closet.

....

In a larger sense, the personal campaign is distracting voters from discussion of healthcare and the economy - serious issues where they prefer Mr Kerry even if they do not find him quite as likeable.

[Hello_Kitty]

61. Ok, so he's 'found Jeeeesus' but....

Part of being repentent is to follow the commandments of Scripture, one of them being not lying. If he's asked about his past behavior and lies about it, then he's lying now. Hence, he's not being a good Christian and the fundamentalist faction should realize that. And I think many of them will. So we need to keep this issue alive and kicking on the blogs and on OpEd pages so the media is forced to keep asking him about it. He can't win; he either admits he lied about it before or continues to lie in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary.

[LiberalFighter]

62. Lips??? Blanket Party"??

It reveals that Dubya had the nickname "Lips" in college.

It reveals how the ANG was planning a "blanket party" for Dubya and the real reason he went AWOL. The details will make him go AMOK.


I can hardly wait to find out what and why!!!!

[Thurston Howell IV]

66. Arbusto

Funny how Bush thought Arbusto meant "bush" in spanish, but turns out meaning "shrub!"

[banana republican]

67. Speaking of Coke

Does any one have the link to newspaper report of when GHWB purchased Coke across from the White House??? on second thought; maybe it was GWB
