Bush and Cheney: Hard Liquor and Loose Women

Cheney on DC Madam's list.

Yesterday, WMR reported on the DC Madam Deborah Jeane Palfrey's list: "WMR has been informed that the CEO of a major corporation is a former CEO but, nonetheless, the aforementioned extremely high-level official of the Bush administration. The individual, who is definitely "newsworthy," reportedly engaged the services of Palfrey's escort firm while he was the CEO and maintained a residence off Chain Bridge Road in the Ballantrae neighborhood in McLean, Virginia, a few blocks from the headquarters of the CIA."

WMR has confirmed with extremely knowledgeable CIA and Pentagon sources that the former CEO who is on Deborah Jeane Palfrey's list is Vice President Dick Cheney. Cheney was CEO of Halliburton during the time of his liaisons with the Pamela Martin & Associates escort firm. Palfrey's phone invoices extend back to 1996 and include calls to and from Cheney. Ironically, in 2000 Cheney was appointed by Bush to head his Vice President selection committee, a task that enabled Cheney to gather detailed personal files on a number of potential candidates, including Bill Frist, George Pataki, John Danforth, Fred Thompson, Chuck Hagel, John Kasich, Chris Cox, Frank Keating, Tom Ridge, Colin Powell, and Jim Gilmore, before he selected himself as the vice presidential candidate.

The White House saw to it that ABC/Disney killed the DC Madam's story before yet another scandal swamped the Bush administration. Cheney is departing Washington today for a trip to the Middle East, where he will visit the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Jordan, and the USS John C. Stennis in the Gulf.

Bush Behaves Like a Texas Javelina (Wild Boar) Towards the Queen.

Our White House sources report that the Queen's visit to the White House yesterday was a protocol disaster. Not only had George W. Bush commenced his drinking routine early in the morning, just in time for the first mid-day visit by Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Phillip, but his drunkenness continued well into the evening during the lavish state dinner.

Bush dreaded the Queen's visit and prepared for it by getting drunk. The Queen has never hidden her dislike for Bush who she considers ill-bred, impetuous, and a social boor. The Queen's dislike for Bush goes back to 1991 when he insulted her during another state visit by inquiring which of her children was the "black sheep" of her family. The Queen told him to mind his own business. The Queen was also unhappy that then-First Lady Barbara Bush failed to control her son during that visit to the White House. In November 2003, the Queen was incensed about Bush's Marine One helicopter tearing up her flower garden at Buckingham Palace and traumatizing her flock of flamingoes. Bush's communications staff also damaged expensive fabrics inside the royal residence. Bush never compensated the Queen for the damage and she had to file an insurance claim.

With that background, Bush groused about having to wear a white tie tuxedo for last night's state dinner. It took the direct intervention of Laura Bush and Condoleezza Rice to convince Bush to wear the appropriate attire. During yesterday's welcoming ceremony on the South Lawn of the White House, Bush insinuated that the Queen was over 230 years old when he stated she had helped celebrate America's Bicentennial in 1776. The Queen was heard to have uttered the words, "Oh dear." Bush then winked at the Queen who was not amused by the president's antics. Bush also stated that the Queen gave him a look "that only a mother could give a child." It was not the first time the Queen had looked at Bush with an icy stare. Bush also nearly put his arm on the Queen's shoulder as he escorted her down the stairs from the red carpeted dais.

White House protocol officials remained nervous about Bush during the entire Royal visit. The Queen and Prince Phillip are sure to have much to talk about on their trip back home this evening. While the Queen was keen on visiting Virginia and the Kentucky Derby, her past dealings with the Bush family had her fearing the White House visit. Bush's boorish demeanor was in keeping with his past indiscretions around the Queen.

Queen BEE!

I am not a fan of The Queen, unless she is a honey bee or an ant queen. We are a democracy, and once she steps on our land, the old addage of, "When In Rome, Do As the Romans do." I wouldn't walk across the street to shake hands, nor would my Konica FC-1 waste some film on a picture of her.

Is it really true?

Is there really hard proof that W. has fallen off the wagon?

Very Strange

Very strange how ABC News shut up on what was becoming a major scandal. They sure didn't shut up about Clinton's entire life and every allegation and innuendo against him, did they, showing little deference for his sensibilities.

Drunken Bush

There had been rumors that little bushie boy was still drinking, but evidently the cooperative media (Fox&Co.)etc., had kept it pretty quiet. That's all we need - a draft-dodging, boozing, former cocaine user (former?), all-but-illiterate, lying "man" running our country into the ground. Too bad the 29% of misguided people who still like him, are determined to ignore what is evident to everyone else. Isn't it amazing how many of these people still believe the original lie spread by bush, cheney, rice, etc., that Saddam was responsible for 9/11? Bush&Co. did an excellent job of combining fear and lies to keep these followers in line.

The only Bush supporters left

Many people are trained to follow their leader even if he leads them into complete distruction. This is the way the Air Force Thunder Bird and Navy Blue Angel pilots are trained to fly. Don't look where your going just keep your eye on the leader and trust he will not lead you crashing into the ground.

I think these are the the only Bush supporters left. They have been taught to follow the leader and not look up to see where they are going even if they end up crashing into the ground.

Was Blackmail Involved?

I would be interested in whether Cheney's alleged calls were for personal services rendered or to set blackmail traps that would come in handy after the 2000 coup when the junta needed to consolidate it's power.

Bush and Cheney - that's a good one

If Cheney was a client of that madame, and she Plames him, her life will undoubtedly be made quite unlivable. If she doesn't, however, she will probably be "disappeared", in which case we can only hope that her demise will be quick, and utilize little or no torture.

What? No way, you say? Were talking about one of the most vicious, spiteful, vengeful, immoral and powerful people in the world. That girl better run.

As for Bush, I hope that he has fallen off of the wagon. Why wouldn't I? Because that shouldn't happen to anybody? Says who? It *should* happen to people like Bush, along with blackouts, vomiting, domestic violence, hangovers, public embarrassments and cirrhosis. Justice trumps mercy.

Of course, if we got justice, it would be in the form of the Bush-prick being reincarnated as an Iraqi baby. But, in lieu of that, I'll accept the horror of alcoholism as a partial payment.

Hallucinations

This report comes from the Jason Leopold school of journalism. Articles about aliens from the planet Zygort coming to Earth to steal Elvis' brain have more credibility than this tripe.

You Have to do the Better than That

Madsen depends on his sources, cultivated over a lifetime in the Navy and Intelligence Services, for information like this. He doesn't pull rabbits out of his hat or ass. I've read his report for several years now and, although he is sometimes wrong, even way off now and then, the majority of the time he is onto something, and the Major Media know this and use him as a source frequently, although in typical callous fashion, without acknowledgement. So to dismiss his report based on Elvis analogies is ludicrous.

Personally, I don't like getting into politician's personal lives unless they are breaking the law. Of course, however, hiring a prostitute is unlawful in DC, unless you think ultra-expensive escort/masseuses really do just massage your back and go home. Why not, then, just take a hot bath?

You can argue that Madsen is crossing the line here, but Madsen, who is a Democrat, would say that payback's Hell after what the Republicans put Clinton through.
