Gay prostitute at the white house
That is amazing! I had to google for news about that -- a gay prostitute receives daily press passes in order to lob softball questions at the administration, and has access to the highest classified documents. Who at the White House is getting it up the bunghole and handing out passes?
I am amazed it hasn't received an enormous amount of press. I guess the American news media is not interested in serious security breaches at the White House. As Maher says in the clip, if it had happened during the Clinton administration, there would be a hellstorm by now.

who's taking it up the bunghole? - LOL - why it's Karl Rove, of course, the unofficial head of the gay Rebublican mafia.
oh the hypocrisy!
WASHINGTON, November 8, 2004 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Karl Rove, a top political aide to US President George W. Bush indicated Sunday that the President would again push for a federal constitutional amendment to protect the traditional definition of marriage. Speaking on Fox News Sunday, Rove said, "If we want to have a hopeful and decent society, we ought to aim for the ideal, and the ideal is that marriage ought to be, and should be, a union of a man and a woman." Asked if Bush would push the Congress again on the amendment, Rove responded, "absolutely."

I'm Baffled
How in the world did this clown get a White House press pass with an alias......Just more proof of the corruption in the Bush administration.....still can't believe he got a second term.
Anyone noticed how quiet some of our redneck American brethren have been on this subject? I'm curious what the reaction would have been with a Democrat in office.

Hey Hardup,
What would the reaction be if this had happened under Clinton? Lets set up the scenario:
It's late 98/early 99 (at the peak of the Impeachment debacle) and it is found out that a person with no formal journalism training that works for an Arkansas Democratic organization and is a HOMOSEXUAL escort (gays don't bother me at all but most of America is quite fixated on them) has been lobbing softballs at Mike McCurry for months asks President Bill Clinton a question like "Mr. President, with people like Bob Livingston, a person who has private sexual predilictions so profoundly disgusting that even Larry Flynt is distressed about them and with others like Bob Barr, who is on his fourth marriage and with Henry Hyde who admitted to sexual affairs in his 40's (which he calls his youth) are so set to overturn an election and put you in prison for lying about sex, well, how do you deal with people who have so divorced themselves from reality?"
A major league shit-tsunami would have ensued (Hell, Faux News might have set up another channel just to harp on it 24/7) that would have been headline news in every paper and the lead story on every newscast for months. Remember, the wingnuts are still complaining about freaking Watergate being "a liberal conspiracy" and such bullshit. We'd still be talking about it today for christ's sake. Yes, it is a double standard and it is now impossible to argue that the media is "Liberal", because if it was, you'd never hear the end of this story. As it is, you have to search to find it.
I can't (and won't) speak for LD and Dittman, but what could they possibly say? It was either the biggest security breach in American history or he was planted by the White House as a stooge, those are the only possible options, because no one post 9/11 is getting that close to the President under a psudeonym unless it's a mistake or a purposeful act. Not an enviable choice for a Bush supporter.
And for my Canadian friends, please remember that a record amount of people voted against Bush in America and that he is the least popular second term President in recent history. Unlike Clinton, who was at 68% approval on the day he was impeached, Bush has only been that high once, right after 9/11 and is lucky to get a 50% approval in most polls. I can't (and won't) apologize for people in Kansas and other places that thrive on ignorance (go ahead and flame me, but it is against the law to teach evolution in Kansas and that is ignorant). How the hell is a kid going to get into a college (other than Bob Jones or Oral Roberts) when he/she doesn't even understand the basis on which all science is based?. Geez, I bet a bunch of brilliant future academic leaders are going to be coming out of that shithole.
I do love my country, but it is becoming a foreign, ugly place. A society cannot regress, it can only hope to progress if it is to have any sustainability. I've worried about a creeping facism for a while now (even under Clinton) but under Bush half the country seems to be goosestepping lustily towards Nuremburg. There were good Germans who tried to stop Nazism, and I for one plan to be a good American (I'm not running ANYWHERE, if needed I will fight for my freedom, but we're not there yet as far as some armed insurrection being required) and try to monkey wrench the facist machinery now being constructed. Is the machine here yet? Of course not, but the chains of slavery are always put on a person one link at a time until finally the chains constrict the person totally. BTW, when I say facism I don't mean brownshirts and swastikas and all of that, American facism will be much more subtle and hence, much harder to defeat.

Hardup – I am not one to back down from a controversial situation. But to be honest the title “Fake Reporter for Fake News” did not attrack my attention.hardup said:
So let me be clear…American Democracy is very reliant on an independent press that is one of our checks and balances.
Reporters are given privileges that no other citizen has. They can withhold the names of their sources. If I tried that I would be in jail.
So the fact that the Office of the President of the United States of America would tamper with freedom of the press is very disturbing. What I find even more disturbing is this is a common practice.
The major media outlets (print and television) abdicated their responsibility a long tine ago. We are far more reliant on the “fringe” media now “The Drudge Report” or Michael Moore’s 9/11. It is sad that we now must rely on these partisans to tell us what is happening. But the Dan Rathers and Rush Limbaugh’s have failed us.
So hardup, I am not sure if this is the reaction you were expecting. But I see this as the first sign the empire is crumbling

Gonzo, I think you would be surprised at how close we are in our view of our country.
I am a conservative .. NOT A REPUBLICAN.
For some reason Republicans have cast themselves as conservative, they are not.
I am a fiscal conservative.
Don’t spend money you don’t have.
Leave money in the hands of the person who earned it
Keep taxes low
Keep expenses to a minimum.
Bringing home the pork, is not a good thing.
Welfare is wrong . Corporate handouts or hand outs to individuals.
I am a social moderate.
If someone truly needs help then give them what they need.
Provide a hand up not a hand out
Take personal responsibility for your actions. I oppose the huge lawsuit settlements.
Corporate executives need to be held accountable for their corporate actions.
I believe 80% plus Americans think like I do. It is the political power brokers who need to divide us into Republican and Democrat.
I voted for Bush, because I did not like what Kerry stood for. Kerry and Gore were not the right choices for President. The Dems have a chance in 08 to put forward a leader. A person with a vision. A person who will keep the USA a leader of the free world. The GOP has that same opportunity.
I will vote for the person who comes closest to my ideals.
Well said Lucky Dog. I think you and I do agree a lot more than one would suspect. I think (and you can correct me if I'm wrong) that you are more of a libertarian, less government interference in our lives. I agree with you on most of those points. I probably want more regulation of corporations than maybe you would like and I do feel the government has it's place, but that isn't to run people's personal lives. I think it is no more right for the government to try to force school prayer than it is right to try to force people to deny their deeply held beliefs (such as making people support gay marraige) and the other social issues which excite conservatives. I'm not saying this the best so I hope you understand what my point is, but I believe adults should make their own decisions without interference is the simplest way to put it. Legalize drugs, prostitution, and the rest and let the marketplace, in a limited fashion so that we can ensure a safety net, decide things. It is the Christian tendency among some Republicans that's fecking scaring me, just like if it was the leftist Christians/Catholics trying to marry government and religion I would be just as opposed to them as I am to Bush.
While we may disagree on some issues, I find you to be intellectually honest and principled for the most part, even when you're wrong (or when I disagree with you, because a lot of it is POV and IMHO stuff that is almost impossible to settle), so I hope you don't take these debates seriously, or perhaps personally would be the better phrase as I think we should be serious with issues this important.
I did not intend to pigeon-hole you as a "Republican" and I was talking about no one on the board with the "ignorant" stuff, just to be clear on that. Sorry if that was your impression. Man, this is getting gushy, I'm about to start singing "It's A Small World After All" or something, so I had better give my reply a proper "Gonzo" ending:
ANNE COULTER IS STILL AN EFFING BITCH! Ha-Ha.

Not what I was expecting at all...but the cool breeze from the right is refreshing. I've often disagreed with your stand on certain topics but have admired the thoughtful manner in which you relayed your views. After reading this post I'm forced to admit that you are'nt a war mongering redneck after allluckydog71 said:
