A Gleeful Shallow Throat Reveals "Rehnquist's Defeat-Bush Memo"

September 10, 2004
By Bernard Weiner, The Crisis Papers

I hadn't heard from Shallow Throat in nearly three months. The high-ranking mole in the Bush Administration contacted me last week, at the height of Rove's Smear Boat attacks, agitated because of the Kerry Campaign's belated, and at first, ineffectual response.

But when we finally met, a few days ago, in an out-of-the-way tavern near the old C&O Canal outside Washington, D.C., ST was almost giddy. What accounted for the change?

"Well, first of all, despite Kerry's latest goof-ups, most follow-up polls indicate that Bush hasn't gained all that much ground; the election is still Kerry's to lose. Bush, since he hasn't much positive to brag about, is running on fear, trust-me, and a bag of phony promises left over from his 2002 campaign. The American public knows not to trust this guy in the slightest.

"Second, the GOP Convention was - from the lame routine of the twins to Zell Miller's Nuremburg Rally speech - so embarrassing that one almost believed the Dems had rented the time on TV for the Republicans to perform. <snip>

There's a LOT more to read! Is Shallow Throat REAL? I've read several "Shallow Throat" articles and have always wondered. :hi:

3. I've always assumed that "shallow throat" was fictional.

And it's always seemed to me to be Weiner's intent that "S.T." be thought of as fictional -- a parody, as it were.

You could try writing to Bernard Weiner and asking him, but I bet he won't give away the game. ;-)

I'de have to see and hear more proof. That so called letter could have been written by anyone, including the author of the article!.
