Heh...this is going to be very interesting. I knew the Beltway had to be a-buzzing with rumors and subterfuge. [:D] quote: ORIGINAL: SuzanneKneeling quote: How many more scandals are going to come out of the DC Madame's Black Book? Thanks (for the welcome). You'll want to stay tuned to this if you're wondering that. Here in the DC area all sorts of rumors are swirling about who's on that list. I'm not normally interested in tabloid news, but I did notice this below yesterday. More apropos to collarme, I read somewhere that many of the "visits" may have been of a "non-sexual erotic nature". I can think of only a few things that might be. Please, please let it be Paul Wolfowitz crawling around naked licking some college girl's boots... http://thinkprogress.org/2007/04/28/ross-white-house-madam “There are thousands of names, tens of thousands of phone numbers,” Ross said. “And there are people there at the Pentagon, lobbyists, others at the White House, prominent lawyers — a long, long list.” Ross added that the women who worked for the service, potentially as prostitutes, “include university professors, legal secretaries, scientists, military officers.”

quote: ORIGINAL: Vendaval Yes, Gore gets bashed for his luxuries and both Clintons for their personality traits on this forum, on a regular basis. Just do a search for their names. Yes, indeed. He does get "bashed" on occasion. In response to an argument, generally, and then the argument is either agreed with, by those who are already aware and see it that way, but not by the others who seem to find a way to try to defend or dismiss such points of factual information. To the extent that one poster on the Inhofe thread said: quote: I also do not understand the mentality that you have to be purer than Christ to advocate for something. Also, why would he agree to that when he uses renewable energy sources and no matter how large his house hold, he is not leaving nearly the same impact as the 'average' household. Also, his offices and that of his wife's are both run out of his Tennessee home, so it would not really make much sense to apply those standards to it. in reponse to: quote: <snipped in the interest of space> “Are you willing to make a commitment here today by taking this pledge to consume no more energy for use in your residence than the average American household by one year from today?” Senator Inhofe asked. - Gore refused to take the pledge. I see much gleeful "bashing" of some, and pathetic defense or simple dismissal or a refusal to acknowldge or answer, when another point of view, based on facts is brought into the discussion. And this is not a thread about Gore...but I do wonder why I do not see the same breaking news regarding Al Gore's latest "private jet" journey being posted for discussion, and when something of this nature is brought up, it usually dies within two pages. For lack of ability to rebut or is it just less interesting than finding the next way to "bash Bush"? I stand with the fact that hypocrisy is hypocrisy. I don't care where it is coming from. There is more than enough to go around on both sides. And I see both sides. *Right or Left...Follow the money*! (and I mean it...I have links to that earlier in this thread)

I scrolled down to this part of the story quote: Rice named Tobias to head the two programs in January 2006, and on Wednesday was at the White House, where President Bush praised his efforts coordinating global AIDS relief. Tobias had been the White House's coordinator for global AIDS relief before taking the USAID post . What I noticed was that they did not give his stance on fighting AIDs, which is "abstinence only". You see he did not believe in advocating condom use as a significant way of fighting AIDS. I find it very disturbing that someone who advocates abstinence only to fight AIDS would turn around and have sex with prostitutes. It makes me curious.... did he use a condom since he obviously isn't "abstaining"[:D]

quote: ORIGINAL: juliaoceania did he use a condom since he obviously isn't "abstaining"[:D] The Epilogue of the Republican Party and their control of Congress during Clinton and control of two branches of government will probably be. "Do as we say, not as we do." Which is not to say I am running to support Al Gore's use of resources, but it strikes me that his owning a new plane is being compared to Abramhoff, Foley, DeLay, The Patriot Act, The War in Iraq, the dismantling of the Constitution, The tripling of the national debt. etc. What is more troubling is that there seems to be a tit for tat approach to it. Boggles the imagination. Sinergy

juliaoceania -> RE: "Bush official linked to call-girl probe" (5/1/2007 7:55:18 PM)
What boggles my imagination is that he would advocate for something that he could not do himself at the expense of MILLIONS of lives because of his religious convictions.
