If US freepers and Xian fundies heard that the UK PM was bisexual

[Benbow]

as is alleged in at least one British Sunday newspaper today, how would that affect the "special relationship"? What would change? (It is alleged that JP has boasted of holding a dossier of who has slept with whom in British politics, and that it includes TB and GB in man-on-man action.)

11. Links here -

The Atticus column in the Sunday Times, written by Roland White
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,2088-2272016.html

White refers to a "laughable allegation" but you can ignore the word "laughable" - it is there to cover his back.

16. No, I think "laughable" covers it

"2 men share hotel room shock!" Shame you didn't admit that's what it was about in the first place.

21. Sweet dreams, Muriel n/t

2. Or a three way with TB, GB, and JG!

Woo Hoo! With the Bushbaby as the "Bottom" of course!

3. they would overlook it in Jesus' name, like they do with Mehlman

and all the rest of the Village People in the Shrub's cabinet/cabal

[Benbow]

13. I don't think that the Pope - particularly this Pope - would overlook it

and Cherie Blair is a practising Roman Catholic, while her husband is - well, I am not sure.

18. Pope won't say anything, most likely...

Blair converted to Catholicism to marry his wife.

Unless Blair came out (no pun intended) and supported equal rights for gays, or approved of some sort of same sex marriage, he won't be condemned by the Pope. I don't recall the current (or past couple, for that matter) ever specifically condemning a person for their sexual orientation. They might have condemned homosexuality in general, just not anyone specifically.

20. Tony Blair

is not a Catholic, he's Church of England. That's why there was controversy a couple of years back when he took communion during a Catholic mass - he wasn't supposed to.

Edited to add that, according to today's UK Telegraph, Blair is "close to converting": http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2004/10/15/ncath15.xml

4. We're so cynical of our politicians here

That we're relieved to find out they're sleeping with human adults :eyes:

5. wasn't Gannon-Guckert

having his frequeny WH sleepovers during TBs visits?

Answer to your question--denial tain't just a river in Egypt...

[sam sarrha]

10. the butt whore in mention made over 200 White House visits..and it is said

he left by the back door 14 times in the morning without signing out.. who would have the power to tell the White House Security to break the rules and let a Prostitute out the back door without signing out.

[BringEmOn]

12. So, he entered through the back door, then exited through the back door?

[FloridaPat]

17. Suppsodily there was only 1 person who was in the WH every

time Gannon showed up for an overnight stay. It's wasn't TB.

6. Please tell me the 'paper' isn't the Sunday Sport (n/t)

9. What British Sunday newspaper are you talking about? And what the

hell made this come up all of a sudden?

This is just bizarre.

[Benbow]

15. See above, and

as to why now: it is in the context of John Prescott and everything that we have learned since the end of April (shagging with the office door open, serial groping, etc etc).

19. It would become a Very Special Relationship
