And all the sons of Congressmen!

"As democracy is perfected, the office of  president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron."
- H.L. Mencken

The Voice of the White House

March 7, 2005: “I have heard that Helen Thomas' colleagues in the White House Press Corps are not taking Ann Coulter's vicious and typically arrogant pro-Hebrew attack on the dear old lady's Lebanese ethnicity well - she called Ms. Thomas "that old Arab." The Press Corps do not look kindly on the Ice Queen's sneering contempt for their colleague, who is a 60-year veteran and who has been a mother figure to everyone since they were greenhorns in the Press Room.

There is a rumor going the rounds of the Press Corps that in real life Ann Coulter is a man. He/she was once Arthur Coltrane from Pickens County, Georgia, who went to Denmark when he/she was a teenager for a sex-change operation to become a woman, the operation being paid for by his/her wealthy and doting mother, Darlene Coltrane, heiress to a hog-farming fortune. The consensus about "Ms." Coulter/Coltrane in the Press Room is that ONLY a gay man could have such a vicious mouth on him/her. People are saying that his/her stunning blond locks are really a wig, which he/she got in a Copenhagen sex-toys and drag-queen supply shop, when his/her own hair fell out after the hormone shots took effect.

Having seen what makeup could do for drag queen Ru Paul, who in real life is a VERY plain-looking black man, everyone finds it not surprising that "Ms." Ann Coulter/Coltrane would have shunned his/her family hog-farming business for the brighter lights of the big city, since we have heard that without all that Danish foundation cream, he/she might easily have been mistaken for one of the livestock.

The killing of the Italian hostage expert and the attempted assassination of Giuliana Sgrena, is no surprise here. Bush himself loathes the foreign press whom he sees as “impeding” the very brutal actions of his troops in Iraq. More than a few of these journalists have been deliberately iced and more will follow unless and until they either toe the Bush party line or clear out of Iraq. AFP has especially drawn his wrath because he has an unswerving loathing of the French who dared to block his efforts over the illegal invasion of Iraq in the UN.

Bush is like the Bourbons: He learns nothing and forgets nothing. One of the top news people at CNN was sacked when he touched on this subject and this was because Bush and some of his top financial backers made it very clear that there would be an economic war with CNN over this exposure.

I have said many, many times that George W. Bush is a very petty, very vindictive and extremely vicious man towards any individual or organization that dares to oppose his wishes and if he had his way, the Internet would be shut down and his growing legion of critics jailed tomorrow morning. This man is not Hitler; he is the living incarnation of Ivan the Terrible or Caligula. If it were not for the controls over him by at least part of Congress and the bulk of the courts, (plus a very serious, and growing, disquietude at the highest levels of our armed forces) we would see prison camps, public whippings and the National Guard on every street corner.

I had dinner at the Hay-Adams the other night and a Senator (actually Republican!) told me the following funny story. He said that Air Force One with Bush and Rove on board, accidentally  lost a wing over Kansas and crashed into a bean field. He asked me then,  “Who was saved?” To my reply that I didn’t have the faintest idea, he responded, with a wide grin, “Why the American people!” And the Bush people consider this man to be a stalwart supporter!

The military establishment, the banking establishment, the East Coast establishment, a growing number of Congressmen and other members of the so-called power elite, are getting thoroughly annoyed and even frightened by the slavering fascists inside the Oval office. This Gannon incident is only a goad to their rising, and potentially very dangerous, anger. These people tolerate presidents as long as they do not interfere with occupations and profits but this nut is going too far. His global policies, dictated by a group of right wing crazies with total loyalty to the state of Israel, is ruining our foreign relations and, worse, trade. His fiscal policies which sound like something on an Internet nut site have done terrible and very probable long term damage to the US global and domestic economy. His frenzies to Christianize the American government is a raging psychosis that is enraging far more than the 49% who voted against him in the last election.

There are now ongoing discussions held in such places as the Metropolitan Club, the Cosmos Club and in private homes in the more exclusive places in the United States about removing George and his gang of faggots from power.  Gays know, some of them tell me, that George “really doesn’t hate gays” for reasons I will not put down here but ought to be obvious, but is catering to the religious freaks from whom all political blessings flow.

Bush has been, and is being, the most divisive President in American history and probably the most personally corrupt. Rove’s brilliant control of the passive American media  will stave off the coming deluge for a while but the longer it builds up, the worse the final results will be.”
