This story stinks to high heaven. Now they are talking about poor poor little georgie being 'betrayed' by a friend. Fuck his friend and fuck a president who lies to his people. They CRUCIFIED Bill Clinton for admitting he tried marijuana. One crucifixion desereves another.

None.

3. They aren't going to crucify him
It's just not going to happen. This man is immune for whatever reason. And its going to cost the citizens of this country... it already has actually.

4. This is just nonsense
They're just trying to get people away from the real issues. Iraq, Gannon/Guckert, Iran etc. It's all disgusting.

14. I wonder about scams Rove has lined up, waiting to be trotted out
when one or more repub problems rise to the level of national consciousness. Or when he wants to distract from whatever evil-doing he and his minions are perpetrating.

I think Rove must have a long list of scams like this all ready to go. Sometimes he probably multi-tasks and spews out more than one, just to keep us dazed and confused.

Imagine hundreds of bushbots, bagmen and media whores at Rove's command, working to keep this stuff coming when he needs it. We've gotten a sense of this from blogosphere research/fact-finding regarding Propagannon. There are a ton of people slaving away to keep Rove's machine greased and operating.

6. The "story" is a sham
used to distract from other important matters - and I don't just mean Gannon. Christ, the more the media focuses on crap like this, more backroom deals will be made and war plans drawn up. It does stink.

13. No way this story could get out
With the control Bush has on all his "friends" unless they wanted to.

9. Tempest in a teapot compared to the Gannon story.
And Karl Rove damn well knows it.

8. Spin spin spin
I heard smoking dope makes you dizzy. This is proof!

heh--By letting "Wead" release those tapes now, I think the Christian Right is spanking Shrub for not being obedient.

Actually, I think the guy's name is more proof of my pet theory that we're all just part of a crazy science fiction movie where aliens took over and are writing reality for everybody as a hinky comedy script.

10. It may be to immunize Bush from something brewing out there...
He smoked pot but didn't say so to help keep kids off of it...right!

16. Backfire (aka back fire)
backfire: A fire started in the path of an oncoming fire in order to deprive it of fuel and thereby control or extinguish it.

17. Exactly....Rove is too smart to be blind-sided by this story.
After all, this fellow Wead (weed?) was a 'friend'.

24. I agree
I think if this was some story it wouldn't be out. Why would the MSM play one section of a tape? Look what they did to the memo's. But if you know your Bush family facts you'd know he was AWOL. Heh. I wouldn't be surprised if this was all staged and taped recently after Gannon started happening. :shrug:

20. Bush lied to ADULT VOTERS- uses kids as a shield.
Bush lied to adult voters to fool them into thinking he was "moral."

He did not do this to protect kids- he did it to fool the ADULT VOTERS and win elections.

22. The story was planted to soften Bush's image
I read that story and I thought that it was a plant to show that Bush wasn't a bad guy.

For example:

Bush smoked pot but he won't admit to be a stoner because he afraid that "kids might do what he did". Bush only deceives for the "children".

Bush won't engage in gay bashing even though he is against gay marriage and courting evangelicals Christian voters.


I think the whole story is a hoax. The question is why Rove & Co. are planting this story now. Could another war be on the agenda? Syria, Iran.....both?

27. I wonder how the * supporters who bashed Clinton feel...
I now feel more... vindicated to say unto him as his party had already said about his political opponent.

Then again, all politicians to some level are corrupt by the corruptable $.
