Harriet Miers Was A Downright Fox Just a Few Years Earlier
I saw pictures of her on ABC World News Tonight, and I'm not kidding, she was a downright fox. These last few years have been really unkind to her. It must be traumatic.

Edited on Tue Oct-04-05 01:52 AM by LibertyLou


But seriously, I don't think a person's looks should have anything at all to with whether or not they would make a good SC justice...

On her background alone, though, it is quite clear with her 'sanitizing' of the Bush past, the donation to the 2000 recount campaign, etc, she is nothing but a partisan crony, and a fairly unremarkable one at that...Plus, she may have to RECUSE herself from the pending cases regarding the Bush crimes that will eventually make their way to the Supreme Court. In fact, more than several justices would have to recuse themselves because of severe conflict of interest questions...But I doubt THAT'S going to happen...


Oh, and you are dating yourself somewhat by calling her a 'fox'...he he. :)

14. Somehow that fits
She was cute. And Georgie did fool around. It doesn't surprise me at all.

Something that's lost in all the howling over Clinton's infidelities is that George Bush's problems: drinking, carousing, business corruption, temper, AWOL, DUI, etc etc are all IN ADDITION TO his womanizing - the one vice of our Bill Clinton. That's right, Bush's vices are all ADDITIONAL VICES, NOT BALANCING VICES with Bill Clinton, not that they balance in any sane person's mind anyway. I always get a kick out of telling wingers that Bushie screwed around on Laura way more than Clinton ever did on Hillary. Shuts them right up.

If Harriet's forlorn love with El Shrubo is why she ended up in a high-ranking enough position to just barely get over the bar for this nomination - then without him who knows how she'll turn out. She could end up being a judicial lefty on many issues once she gets out of the BushCo zone and starts taking on her SC responsibilities.

I'm just saying maybe.

16. No sorry,
just heard it on the internet a number of times back in 2000. It's not the kind of thing that bothers me, but I remember thinking about how the media attacked Clinton because of it, and then shut right up about Bush Sr, who practically had Mary Tillotsen sent into media exile over just a single question. Bush Jr vs Gore was just as I was figuring out that Republicans had media teflon and had had it for many years, going back to Reagan at least. We had Gore the devoted husband and long-time public servant vs Bush the drunken, carousing wife-cheater and long-time business sleazer, and Bush was coming off as moral because he was a Republican, in the American media's lying eyes. That's when I realized what had really been happening to America the previous eight years.

17. I'll bet somebody, somewhere has a phoo of him drunk, standing on a
bar with his pants at his ankles.... not that that would damage him politically, but it would be entertaining.

I hate to credit the Chimp with any positive attributes, but he seems to be faithful to his wife. Of course, i believe that personal matters like that are totally irrelevant. I don't give a damn if the president gets blowjobs on the sly, as long as he is serving the public well.

18. Except he wasn't. I know callgirls in LA who were summoned to Houston
by Enron players in the late 80s and early 90s and Bush was one of the friends they "entertained" and, yes, coke was part of the festivities.

Bush also got into trouble with Laura when he had an affair with Bo Derek while they were campaigning for his father in 88. That was the REAL story why Laura was going to leave him then, although I'm sure he blamed his judgement on his drinking.

evidence? Have these callgirls ever tried to sell their story? The Enquirer seems to have turned on him and might be willing to publish it.

How do you know this stuff about B*sh and Bo Derek? I am not challenging any of what you say. I have never heard it before.

20. Bo Derek and Bush was an inside LA story at the time, but too bad noone
cared enough to make a big deal about the son of a veep having an affair with Bo, so it stayed as just another Hollywood semi-star gossip tale. Too bad, noone thought to make a bigger deal of it since noone expected him to try and run for prez in the future.

The callgirls will NEVER come forward. Most have gone on to regular lives. Besides, after Vickie Morgan was murdered after revealing her affair with Reagan's buddy and named Reagan and other politicos as attendees at their "parties" I don't expect any callgirl to talk.

Even when Shannon Marketic, a Miss USA, was drugged and sexually molested by Bush1's royal cronies, little came of the case after she pressed charges. Seems the Sultan had some immunity as a CIA asset.

21. HOLY SHIT
it sounds like you are saying there is no way to resurrect this story. Whom do you think might "know" about this story beside the parties involved? Are you sure sure sure there is no way to shine a light on this? Has Bo Derek ever been asked about it?

I wonder if Larry Flynt knows? he has offered a bounty in the past... $1,000,000 for anyone who would present evidence a member of Congress had sexual relations outside of marriage (or something like that) during the Clinton "Blowjob Persecution" era. I still have my copy of "The Flynt Report". I wonder if Flynt would offer a bounty for this one? I never, never, never would have suspected the Chimpy had some onthe side... as despicable a creature as he is, the facade of his marital fidelity has been well-maintained. I do not even recall a mention of this in Hatfield's "Fortunate Son" and he was pretty successful at uncovering all sorts of unflattering tidbits about the Chimp, including his mom's intervention in busting up his engagement to a Jewish (on one side of the family) girl.

I have never heard of Vickie Morgan, or don't remmber who she is. Is that the woman who was involved in sordid activities with Alfred Bloomingdale- who I know was chums w/ Ronald and Nancy Reagan? I recall he had some "hooker" situation, but that was long, long ago.

You are a spigot of knowledge! Please try to answer some of my barrage of questions.

Oh, exposing Chimp's hypocrisy in this arena would be a dream come true.

23. Yes. Morgan was Bloomingdale's special friend.
She claimed she had a videotape of some of the sex parties with various men of reknown participating including Reagan. Her place was ransacked.

She somehow was befriended soon afterwards by a man who moved in as a roommate. He killed her in a "fit of rage" and was sentenced to just a few years in prison.

You can probably pull up her name in a google search, although the story has probably been sanitized by now.

Same with Shannon Marketic.

26. I'm pretty open about it and have brought it up myself from time to time.
I knew some of the callgirls personally in LA. A couple were fairly close friends. I would hear about their "adventures" when they needed rides to/from the airport. It was almost always trips to Houston or Las Vegas.

33. okay, may I ask some graphic questions....
regarding your conversations the the call girls who entertained at parites in Houston, do you remember any of these ladies saying:

-they committed or saw a sexual act being committed on Chimpy himself?

-what was this sexual act? Was it intercourse?


I really appreciate anything you can remember. I am tryig to get at specific participation (infidelity).

Thanks.

36. Those who were with the chimp said he did too much blow to get erect.
He only went into the bedrooms with them so his buddies would THINK he was having sex. He did try rubbing coke on himself when he had a semi in hopes it would keep him hard...hah hah....what a dumbass.

Typical.

and it rings so true. Fucking dumbass.

So, technically, he HAS been faithful to Laura.

Unless there is truth to the Bo Derek rummor. Got any details on that one? Was that one consummated?

41. I heard she was having an affair with him. He may have cut out the coke
for some time then because of being on the campaign road for Daddy, so maybe he was able to get it up....or maybe Bo was a big help in that department. She didn't do drugs, so he may have stayed clean enough to get some action.

Funny, how noone really cared about who Bo had an affair with at the time. But then, noone expected the GOP to turn into a bunch of Bible-thumping hypocrites who would impeach a Dem prez for a blowjob.

43. I've heard Bo Derek interviewed
and (I am not being mean-spirited) she truly seems to have a sub-normal IQ. Really, really slow. I know she has been guided in life by Svengali-type men who have likely been instrumental in her achieveing stardom, and she is a very beautiful woman. Hmmmmmm.

I think she is romantically involved with someone famous... is it the actor John Corbett? I wonder what his politcal stripes are?

I know that Derek is a staunch Republican. What i am getting at is whether she would ever answer "the question" if put to her directly: didyou have an affair with George B*sh?

I wonder if she has ever been asked that question. Perhaps a biography has been written about her covering her activites during the era she is alledged to have slept with the Chimp.

but I got the impression more than a few people knew about it.

That would explain why he had trouble getting erections with beautiful call girls, wouldn't it?

44. FWIW, I recall the Enquirer had pics of Gatlin from his NYC partying days
I wonder if Bush may have visited his pal Larry in NYC at the time.

Could also be another reason for the Enquirer building being shut down by anthrax and the subsequent acquisition of that building and ALL its so-called infected contents by one Bush loyalist name Rudy Giuliani and his partner Bernie Kerik.

31. Here's an older photo of her:


That's from

http://www2.martindale.com/company/advisory_board.html

the web page showing the Martindale-Hubbell/LEXIS-NEXIS Legal Advisory Board for 1999-2000.

She looked a lot better then, though the big Texas hair was funny, but I wouldn't say she was "a downright fox." Haven't found any older photos of her yet.
