11. Mr. bush why did you name this guy ambassador to Poland?


Vice President Dick Cheney , left, talks with Victor Ashe, United States Ambassador to Poland, right, as White House Chief of Staff Andy Card, center, and Deputy Secretary of Defense Paul Wolfowitz, far right, look on during President Bush 's meeting with Polish President Aleksander Kwasniewski Wednesday, Feb. 9, 2005 in Washington.

http://fr.news.yahoo.com/050209/74/49m2l.html

Rumors


There is a rumor on the net that Victor Ashe and George W. Bush have been gay lovers. The source of this rumor is Sherman Skolnick. He seems to be the sole source of this and many other rumors. Before Kitty Kelley’s book “The Family: The Real Story of the Bush Dynasty” was released, Skolnick claimed that her book substantiated his assertions. He also accused her of using him as an unnamed source. Upon being published, the book was absent of nearly all of his claims. Unsubstantiated rumors about Victor Ashe include:

· Ashe was arrested twice in drag for picking up homosexual prostitutes in public restrooms in Washington D.C. and Atlanta, Georgia.

· Peter Jennings introduced Ashe on national TV in San Francisco as "The gay mayor from Knoxville."

· Ashe wanted to rename Gay Street to "Gay Way."

· Ashe’s mother was arrested for hit-and-run while hiding out at the mayor’s house.

· The National Enquirer in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida was shut down by the F.B.I. for “Anthrax” after 9/11 because they had pictures of Ashe engaged in a Skull & Bones homosexual ritual.

· George W. Bush and Ashe have had a long-term homosexual affair. It is widely reported that they have spent much private time together over the years including their time as roommates at Yale, a seven city tour when Ashe was running for the U.S. Senate, numerous stays by Ashe at the White House, visits by Bush to Ashe in Knoxville, and other trips together without Laura Bush.

· Ashe and Bush would rendezvous at a Tennessee location owned by the purported top financier of Osama Bin Laden.

· Paul O'Neill was sacked as Treasury Chief because he was unable to stop Secret Service agents from leaking the Ashe affair to the press, or from quitting their jobs in disgust.

· The “Red Chinese Secret Police” have used the Bush/Ashe affair to get secrets out of the White House.

· Ashe was nominated Ambassador to Poland because the press had learned about the Bush/Ashe affair and because Ashe has AIDS.

Interesting facts

In 1974, a Judge ruled that Ashe’s run for the Tennessee State Senate was illegal because he would turn 30, the minimum age to serve, after the election. Ashe’s mother ran instead, was elected, and resigned after her first day in office and appointed her son Senator (KnoxNews December 14, 2003).
Speaker John Wilder once offered him $10 to sit down and shut up (KnoxNews December 14, 2003).
His opponent in his 1978 re-election bid, Carl Warner, took a swing at him after Ashe made what Warner termed a snide remark (KnoxNews December 14, 2003).
The only political race he lost was to Al Gore, Jr. in 1984 for the U.S. Senate. (KnoxNews December 14, 2003).
Ashe opposed the referendum on term limits that resulted in his inability to run for a 5th term as mayor.
John Lee sued the City Corporation and its individual agents, including Mayor Victor Ashe, for illegally towing his Honda automobile, without a parking ticket. The City Inc. then denied that they had towed it for over six weeks, and listed the vehicle as "stolen" in the National Criminalistics Information Computer (NCIC), operated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI). This resulted in a $700 towing and storage bill from the Corporation's contractor, Sutherland Avenue Wrecker Service. (read more).
Ashe was George W. Bush’s roommate at Yale and they were both on the Cheerleading Squad together.

http://www.rense.com/general57/newbook.htm

http://www.abidemiracles.com/4300_40213bySherSkolnickTheOverthrowOfTheAmericanRepublic-47-Treason.htm


http://www.usatoday.com/news/opinion/e1715.htm
''Both got gentlemen's C's, which I found to be very reassuring - that's what I got, too,'' said Victor Ashe, mayor of Knoxville, Tenn., who graduated from Yale a year before Bush and ran against Gore for the Senate in 1984.

Ashe, who was the political editor of the Yale Daily News, counts the Bushes as old family friends - their families had homes on the same Florida island.

Bush was not active in campus politics, or in the anti-Vietnam War activism of the day, Ashe recalled.

''He was active on campus, but more in sports and his fraternity,'' he said. Ashe and Bush were members of Skull and Bones, one of the ''secret societies'' for Yale seniors.

You claimed you never heard of Victor Ashe? What a shame. But people in Knoxville, Tennessee are
very familiar with their former four-term mayor. There may be a very good reason why George W. Bush
bundled his former Skull and Bones Yale roommate off to Warsaw to serve as U.S. ambassador there
during a close election race. It seems that since he left Knoxville’s City Hall in 2000, George W. Bush has
been anxiously trying to find his friend Victor some work. He was first named to the board of Fannie Mae
in Washington and then he was sent packing to the Kennedy School of Government in Cambridge,
Massachusetts to work with former Wyoming Senator Alan Simpson. According to a Knoxville web site
associated with the local Green Party, Ashe had some past run-ins with the law: two arrests for trying to
pick up male transvestite prostitutes in Atlanta and Washington, DC. Forget the Texas Air National Guard!
What was Bush and Ashe doing during those weird, sexually-explicit rituals within the Skull and Bones
“Tomb” at Yale?

Edited on Thu Feb-17-05 10:32 AM by RuleofLaw
It appears his only definition of democracy is people going to the polls.

He even congratulated the election in Saudi Arabia. Forgot to mention that woman were not allowed to vote.

The Press Corpse were well behaved, I thought. When cued, they made sure to laugh at all the right points and were very respectful in tone...

With knee pads firmly strapped on, they earned their pay today!

31. He is lying
The world thought he had weapons. NO!

The world was not sure but was willing to trust US intelligence. which now turned out to be BS. Resolution 1441 asked Iraq to disarm (they did), Disclose (they did).

Remember the 12.000 pages report that the US got hold of and deleted 8.000 pages from? It said that Iraq had disarmed. The UN wanted the inspections to continue to verify if that was true, but Bush said, no and started the war.

In the White House briefing from January 28, 2003. Ari Fleischer says that the US will ask for another vote in the Security Council to determine if the world believes the US or Iraq. That vote, of course never happened, because it was obvious that no one believed the US.

He is lying to their faces and they allow that?

I cannot believe they are letting him lie to them so much. What the F... are they being paid for?

37. They have become irrelevant. The Gannon story has had the effect
of elevating the anonymous blogosphere to the position formerly held by the 4th Estate.

I can't believe that anyone with half a brain can watch the MSM in action and not think "bad script, poorly acted."
