[still_one]

1. does she name names?

[MikeG]

2. Here's the link I have.

4. This doesn't sound like a Kitty Kelley book

This looks like unsubstantiated bulls*it posted to a blog to me.

[jonnyblitz]

6. its sounds way to wacky to be true. n/t

[MikeG]

8. Kind of like the first time I heard Kerry had self-inflicted wounds.

[buff2]

18. I've been hearing for quite a while about this book.....

and how it's supposed to be explosive. I also heard Neil bu$h's ex gave Kitty the inside dirt on this evil empire. I think you are wrong.....I don't think it's BS I think there will be a lot of truth told in this book. The truth NEEDS to be told on this phony "born again christian" and his family. Just look at all the people who have drank their kool-aid. It's sickening.....most people vote for that idiot because they think he is a good man. It's a damn lie and we all know it. :puke:

[mbali]

37. I don't think the book is bulls*it-I think this description of what's IN

the book is bullsh*t. I don't believe her book contains all of these accusations.

[Monkey see Monkey Do]

38. you & me both! (nt)

[ronnykmarshall]

5. Yeah, this is gonna help.

:eyes:

Sorry, but Kitty Kelly is Kitty LITTER as far as I'm concerned.

[MikeG]

7. Lets be just as fair as them.

[quinnox]

3. Serious?

Holy Shit, lol.

[Bullshot]

9. I'm not putting much stock into the book

if it lacks attributions and is loaded with innuendo. That's stooping to the Republicans' way of reporting facts.

[MikeG]

10. Me neither, but its OUT THERE.

[mbali]

13. I doubt most of these "facts" are in the book . . .

That's not Kitty Kelley's style. And notice this website is a blog, not anything really connected to her book.

[merh]

24. Have you read it yet?

How can you say it "lacks attributions and is loaded with innuendo" if you haven't read it???

I think I might have to give it as gifts during the next couple of months!

Folks love to read this stuff, even if they act appalled about it to your face!

[Comicstripper]

46. That's not what they said

the poster said,
"if it lacks attributions and is loaded with innuendo."

[Octafish]

11. Victor Ashe and Bush go, um, waaaaaay back.

"He was a fabulous roommate.
No, it wasn't like Lou Ferrigno and Arnold in Pumping Iron.
We didn't need to have our beds next to each other."

12. Oh, please, say it ain't so!

Things are bad enough for us gays without being saddled with the Chimp. *He can't be gay, he can't be gay, he CAN'T be gay!* :puke:

[ezee]

17. NEXUS

Could use that as a good reason for renouncing your homosexuality.

[A_Possum]

14. I gotta wonder about Laura's frozen look

And her obsessive cleanliness, verified by the twins.

[belle]

31. Ooh, does the Kelley book say she's actually a robot?? Because that

I would believe...

[earthside]

15. I believe about half of those things ...

I would say, from my years of following the Bush family, that about half of the things on that list are at least partially true.

Yes, there are questions about Georgie's relationship with the former mayor of Nashville, his Yale roomie.

There are questions about how far the abuse by "the Enforcer" went with the Bush children.

Read the Salon article at the Guardian about what Bush was doing in Alabama ... clearly the cocaine, abortion rumors are worth investigating.

Though Kitty Kelley is a tabloid-type, yellow journalism-type biographer ... rejoice in the proposition that perhaps someone is going to sling mud at the Bushs the way they have had no qualms about slinging at their enemies themselves.

Personally, I think it is pay back time for the Bush family criminal enterprise ... I hope they get everything they justly deserve.

And everyone be hopeful ... as I headline on my web site today - www.Earthside.com - Iraq is going to hell in a hand basket ... though the mainstream press won't report on it, the disaster continues to grow. The bad news is sadly good news for getting these fascists out of office. Then we can start rebuilding our country!

[greatauntoftriplets]

16. A gay male friend of mine who happens to hail from Texas....

...has long told me that most of the gay men in Texas are married.

[mbali]

22. Doesn't mean that most married men are gay . . .

I think this "Is Bush gay" is a stupid and childish line of attack on Bush.

1. Most of the people we need to move to Kerry's side will never believe it. And those who do, likely won't care.

2. It smacks of homophobia - Republicans are still backward enough to think screaming "So and So's a FAG!" is a smear that will frighten voters and redound to their benefit. We're better than that.

Let's not go there - let's move on to something else that matters.

[ruggerson]

26. Completely Disagree

If you have an evil person who is attempting to DIVIDE the country using homophobia as a weapon, it is perfectly legitimate to out them and show the horrifying hypocrisy of the religious rightwing.

It is not about homophobia, it is about standing up, finally, and fighting the religious rightwing with the gloves off.

[mbali]

28. If there were any real evidence he were gay, it's right to out him as a

hypocrite. But screaming that he's gay, without evidence, IS nothing but homophobia. It's in the same category as claiming that Clinton fathered an illegitimate black child - since the only reason to raise it is to try to smear him among people who hate gays.

If there's any proof of this, fine. But picking up an unsubtantiated rumor posted on a blog based in Colombia, South America and running with it is childish and petty bulls*it.

Mind you, I don't give a hoot about W. But I resent that some in my own party seem to believe that calling someone gay is an insult.

[ruggerson]

29. Let's see what evidence she has in the book

[mbali]

32. Yes, let's.

[jefferson_dem]

19. Right. Looks like another "he said - she said" case

Let her be heard! She's earned that right. Then let the voters decide. Watch the Shrimp Boat Peddlers suddenly condemn hearsay, gossip and innuendo...if they even speak to the *legitimate questions about chimpy's orientation* that have been raised.

Who here thinks that the press will pick up and run with this controversy at all?

[quinnox]

21. I don't think media will run with it

It would be too good to be true, and if it gets play in the media Bush would be able to kiss the election goodbye.

It's just too hot.

BUT, it will probably go to number one on the bestseller lists while being studiously ignored by mainstream media.

So it yet might have some effect.

[mbali]

25. Why do you believe what you read on a blog?

Don't you think that if there was any likelihood that Kelley's book contained all of these allegations, we would have heard about it by now from some other source than this obscure Spanish-language blog that has no connection to Kelley's book?

Let's focus on the issues. This is silly.

[jefferson_dem]

34. Did you also think the lies promulgated by Shrimp Boat Vets were "silly"?

Fact is that this is real politic in a rough-and-tumble game. These scandalous charges are important not necessarily for their own substance but if they raise questions about *'s "judgment and character". Fine by me. Politics 'aint always pretty. And it's those punks who took us into the gutter. Fight back now as we must!

EDIT: type repair

[LisaL]

40. Exactly.

Swift boat liars proved the truth couldn't matter less.
All that matters is that "some people say it".
But I don't think they will be discussing Kitty's book on every cable news station for months and months.

[mom cat]

20. i don't like the part of me that loves this.

[Mad As Hell]

27. I love the part of me that loves this.

Like * says. WHATEVER IT TAKES. These assholes deserve a book like this. I hope it says all of that and more. You go Kitty.

[ruggerson]

23. Remember that scene in F911

When Bush is sitting there waiting to go on air with his speech to the nation right after 9/11?

He was all done up in pancake makeup, with purple lips, and I swear he looked like he could have been an extra in a Divine movie. I remember looking at him and thinking, hmmmmmmmm.....

[OMGBearisDriving]

30. I heard

Bush makes a delightful paste out of ground up non whites and sells it at conventions. Its called "Soylent Brown"

yeah. its true. Kitty Kelly is going to expose bush and prove that Soylent Brown is people.

[belle]

33. Dude, WE don't want him. ew.

I don't believe he's gay. I believe his sexuality is all tied up with things like blowing up frogs and having people (of whatever gender) tell him how WONDERFUL he is, while he stares at himself in the mirror.

[jefferson_dem]

35. Five Bombshells!

This...from a credible source.

A Kitty Surprise?
ROGER SIMON COLUMN
SEPTEMBER 1, 2004

NEW YORK - - Republican insiders have been huddling in small groups at the Republican Convention this week and talking about what worries them most. It is not John Kerry. It is not the unemployment numbers. It is not Iraq.

It is Kitty Kelley.

Kelley has a new book coming out in a few weeks titled "The Family: The Real Story of the Bush Dynasty” and it is rumored to be explosive.

One source tells me there are “at least five bombshells” contained in it and another source says there is allegedly new material on President Bush’s service in the Air National Guard.

<SNIP>

[bringbackfdr]

43. Five bombshells

If they all go off at once and are ignored by CNN, Fox, et al, does anyone hear them? Will anyone care?
All we can do is work like hell and hope for the best.

[MikeG]

36. Bush does say "Fabulous" a lot

[Clinton Crusader]

39. whatever the case

People will buy this in droves and it WILL get media coverage when released and she will and has been on Larry King.

:lol remembeing scene in F9/11:

:kick:

[cheshire]

44. Yes and flips his wrist a bunch. Girlie Man

[spanone]

41. AAAARRRRGGGGHHHHH...............

[Snotcicles]

42. That explains

his religious fanaticism he is trying to erase it.

[DieboldMustDie]

45. From the Inside Flap:

"Perhaps most impressive--and surprising--is the way the book delves behind the obsessively protected public image into the family's intimate private lives: the matriarchs, the mistresses, the marriages, the divorces, the jealousies, the hypocrisies, the golden children, and the black sheep."

Nothing about his being gay, but a lot of potentially juicy stuff nevertheless. :bounce:
