Here you go, good antidote for WTC 9/11 being such a downer today. God, I wish the public would pull their head out of their rear and face the reality of why that horrible disaster happened. The entire World understands it except the idiot American public. Hang in there...

=========="The Family" Book Details===========

Kitty Kelley's red, white, and blue (cover) book, The Family, will be wherever books are sold, starting Tuesday, September 14.

"- That President Bush snorted cocaine at Camp David while his father was president.

- That a young George Bush arranged for a girlfriend to have an abortion.

- That Bush's wife, Laura, also used cocaine.

- That the former first lady, Barbara Bush, smoked marijuana while at university.

- That all the Bushes have been involved in dirty business deals.

She may also raise a nasty rumour that circulates in Washington DC from time to time, that President Bush had a "special relationship" with a former mayor of Tennessee, Victor Ashe, who is now the US ambassador to Poland."

Sharon Bush, the "pillow talk," or Deep Throat, source for this book, the ex-wife of George W. Bush's brother Neil, first planned her own book, then a collaboration with Kitty Kelley (they had several conversations with a total length of over five and half hours), then canceled the collaboration to get a deal from the stingy Bushes, announced her own book deal, and recently denied telling Ms. Kelley about the cocaine use but still maintains she was wronged by the Bush bunch.

Ms. Kelley is also certain to write about an accident that occurred in Texas in 1963, when 17-year-old Laura Welch (now First Lady Laura Bush) ran a stop sign and crashed into another car, killing her boyfriend.

IT REVEALS HOW LAURA BUSH WRONGFULLY KILLED HER HIGH SCHOOL BOYFRIEND AND IT WAS COVERED UP. Accident occurred in Texas in 1963, when 17-year-old Laura Welch (now First Lady Laura Bush) ran a stop sign and crashed into another car, killing her boyfriend. She has never acknowledged responsibilty for Michael Douglas' death. Never had to --the "accident report" says the investigation was not complete, but no further investigation or even a traffic citation ever occurred. In recent years, Mrs. Bush let misrepresentations in a Reader's Digest report on the incident pass without correction. The false statements presented what would have been mitigating circumstances (type of vehicle, road conditions, etc.) -- only they were false.

(COMMENT – WE HAVE ALL THE DOCUMENTATIONS ON THIS ACCIDENT BUT AM NOT GOING TO RELEASE THEM.)

IT REVEALS THAT GEORGE W. BUSH USED COCAINE SEVERAL TIMES AT CAMP DAVID DURING HIS FATHER'S PRESIDENCY (1989-93). This drug has lasting effects on the central nervous system including "impairment of cognitive function and multifarious personality disorders," more commonly known as "fried brain." Actually, George Bush has admitted using illegal drugs, although it was not known he used them this recently.

It reveals evil plans for YOU (details of which you will have to get in other books), which could alarm you (bankrupting Social Security, more wars, etc.). .

It reveals illegal business deals by every member of the Bush clan, virtually an Anglo crime family, hence the name of the book.

IT REVEALS LAURA BUSH EXPERIMENTED WITH COCAINE, BUT SHE DID NOT SELL IT.
WHAT LAURA SOLD WAS MARIJUANA (CANNABIS), WHILE AT SOUTHERN METHODIST UNIVERSITY (1965-68).

It reveals how former first lady Babs Bush is almost a veritable witch -- how she in-person humiliated an old family friend in Texas, Jimmy Allison (now deceased), the Hearst of Texas and the Texas political mentor of the Bushes to whom they owe everything. (Even Nixon once said of her, "Now, there's a woman who knows how to hate.")

It reveals how Dubya has had a very special friend in the mayor of a Tennessee city, who has has co-inhabited the Texas ranch many times.

It reveals that Dubya had the nickname "Lips" in college.
It reveals how the ANG was planning a "blanket party" for Dubya and the real reason he went AWOL. The details will make him go AMOK.

It reveals the involvement of Bush Sr. in the Colombia and South America drug trade and how Bush Senior got the nickname "Poppy."

It reveals why Congressional associates gave Bush Senior the nickname "Rubbers."

IT REVEALS HOW THE FIRST PRESIDENT BUSH CONDUCTED AN AFFAIR WITH HIS ENGLISH SECRETARY, JENNIFER FITZGERALD.

It reveals the details of embarassing Skull & Bones (Yale secret society) photographs of Bush Junior's rites of Onan initiation that actually caused U.S. Govt. agents to perpetrate the anthrax mailings to destroy the building of American Media Inc. in Florida (where bro' Neil is gov) and kill photo editor Robert Stevens of the National Enquirer. Guess who now owns the AMI building:? Rudy Giuliani, the New York mayor of 9/11 fame and a Bush pal who refused to run against him for the GOP nomination.

FORMER FIRST LADY BARBARA (BAR) BUSH ALSO USED MARIJUANA (CANNABIS) AT UNIVERSITY (The Age, Australia).

It reveals how you can get surprisingly close to America's Darth Vader.

It reveals the incredible relationship between Dubya and some famous televangelists.

It reveals intimate details gleaned from persons close to Bush in Crawford, Texas.

It reveals the filth of Bush's ancestors, the most shocking family in US history.

It reveals how Bush plans additional wars for oil, under the pretense of fighting terrorism and defending Israel -- these are just pretenses, the real reason is to secure the oil in the Middle East.

It reveals Dubya's Oedipus complex with Babs, his love/hate relationship with his father, some surprising medical details about Dubya, including an explanation of why he is so burnt out and why he can't pay attention to the nation's business.

It reveals the little-known connection between Laura and Gen. Tommy Franks.

It reveals connections between the Bushes and the shooting of President Reagan, which would have put Poppy Rubbers in the White House.

It reveals Dubya's participation in the sexual/occult Rites of Onan and the Skull and Bones at Yale University. The Bonesmen are finally coming out with details.

It reveals who runs Bush and who could, and it is not his wife.

1. Ummm, bro Neil isn't Gov of Florida. Who wrote this?

[whalerider55]

3. the devil...

[mopinko]

2. blanket party?

what is that?

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

4. They had one on "The Shield"

You're walking along, minding your own business, suddenly a group of psychos jumps you, wraps you in a blanket to bind you up so you can't move (or identify them), and beats the ever-loving CRAP out of you with their fists or whatever objects they brought along. The intention is to "teach a lesson"...a BIG lesson...and not to kill.

I'd question the fact-checking on that one.

[whalerider55]

5. i think...

it's when you choose a victim, cover him with a blanket, and pummel him mercilessly. the purpose of the blanket is to protect the perps (and soak up the blood from cuts)...

I think...

whalerider55

[mopinko]

6. that's what i thought

and to think it might have saved the world. makes me sorry i'm a pacifist to think of it.

[RamboLiberal]

10. Anyone see Full Metal Jacket or A Few Good Men

I know FMJ had a brutal scene of Private Pyle being given a blanket party by his squad mates because he was such a screwup.

[wyldwolf]

7. when I was growing up, a blanket party meant

...a blanket was unexpectedly thrown over you by a group, then they proceeded to beat the shit out of you.

[cthrumatrix]

77. kick

[Maddy McCall]

15. military term for throwing a blanket over a sleeping soldier...

and beating the shit out of him, in the dark in the middle of the night, so that he has no idea who his assailants are.

[Octafish]

26. The Treatment is reserved for the most deserving...

...Didn't know officers did it to fellow officers. Must've been one mighty big F-up.

[tom_paine]

76. That's exactly what it is. Never saw one myself nor participated

but "legend" at Basic was if you fucked your squad-mates over enough, you might get one.

[LibDemAlways]

8. If half of this stuff is in the book,

freepers will shit their pants nationwide. This one will fly off the shelves, and white house condemnation will only fuel sales. Gotta love it.

[AmerDem]

29. Last I heard 725,000 are the first printing

Sounds like they may need and additional 725,000 by the next morning, LOL. Damn, people love this gossip stuff especially dirt on these scumbag Bush's. This book is going to be huge. I can't wait!:bounce: :kick:

[Darth_Kitten]

47. I'm excited for you!!!!

hehehehehehe....... :bounce: :bounce: :D

[Darth_Kitten]

46. And let's face it, in this political climate....it doesn't matter whether.

it's truth(I rather believe the allegations, they don't seem like anything really new!!) or pure fiction, stuff is gonna stick. ;)

yup, it's going to stick to more than a few minds..... :)

[jeff30997]

9. "Congressional associates gave Bush Senior the nickname "Rubbers."

Ok,English is not my native language and I haven't slept in 36 hours so...Why Rubbers ? I don't get it.

[whalerider55]

19. could be...

rubbers is one of the slang phrase for condoms, those birth control devices which can actually help prevent the transmission of STD's- if this is true, and Poppy's nickname was "rubbers", shame on him for not having a heart-to-heart with son Neil, who managed to herpify his dipstick by having unprotected sex with asian prostitutes...

whalerider55

[MsConduct]

61. One question please....

How do you know so much about neil's dipstick?

Peace

[whalerider55]

64. everyone knows about Neil's dipstick

... and i read depositions for a hobby. when i get the time

whalerider55

[MsConduct]

67. I guess I missed

that deposition. Are you sure it wasn't in the headlines? Or maybe the sox box scores? Isn't time just an excuse people use when they don't want to be bothered with something? LMAO

[PartyPooper]

11. I hope this book and the talk it engenders has legs until November 2.

There's so much already out there to bring Junior down. But, so far, nothing has stuck.

:-(

[jeff30997]

14. Those bastards are made of Teflon.

[oldtime dfl_er]

12. I wonder if there will be any mention of the Kennedy assassination

[Clinton Crusader]

68. I wondered that too

HEARD there was a party that night in Dallas attended by Poppy and Junior.
:kick:

[Placebo]

13. Wait, Is It Implying W is GAY?

[PartyPooper]

18. In the very least, he's "gay-friendly" in a hypocritical sort of way.

Can you Say Victor Ashe aka Queen Victoria?

[Andy_Stephenson]

27. George and Victor Ashe have carried on since they

were roomie cheerleaders at yale. The have been together almost every month since GW became the Gov of Texas. Gw Nominated Victor to the Fannie Mae board (George and Victors fannie...you figure it out)

[Demoiselle]

98. I BOUGHT the book today. Ashe is NOT listed in the index.

I know it's fun to dwell on the possibilities in all their glorious hypocrisy...but, he ain't in the index. She appears to have indexed everything else. In a year and a half when I finish the book (It's a big mother) I'll tell you if he's anywhere in the text. In the meantime, I'm inclined to think that if even Kelley can't find enough corroboration, maybe we should drop it.

[tandot]

16. Today in my local newspaper some reader mentioned the abortion thing

I live in a really conservative town in N Texas and today I read THREE anti-Bush letters to the editor in our local newspaper. This is Bush/Cheney country with oil-rich, southern Baptist families.

Not only were those letters anti-Bush, they were tearing his ass apart with their comments. I almost fell off my chair reading them:

One of them started with the headline "What a hypocrite" and "Bush is a documented criminal and hypocrite. The author talked about Bush's oil company and his connection to the bin Laden family.

One talked about Bush's "Freedom is not America's gift to the world. It is the Almighty God's gift." The author said that they are "...using the blood of our brave soldiers, the monies of the American people..." and ended with "If the 'Almighty's gift' of freedom is the destiny of all people, then the Almighty needs to go to the United Nations and convince all nations that it is their responsibility to bring to all of his people his 'gift'"

The last one said "He is the MAN who was 'PROUD' to serve his country during the Vietnam War. (There were a lot of empty bars in those days; he helped our economy by spending a lot of money there..." and that "he is a low-life who has always hid behind his momma and daddy..."

:evilgrin:

I almost spit my coffee all over the newspaper. Things are definitely changing. Even in my right-wing town...people are so fed up with that incompetent frat-boy...

[Andromeda]

41. No kidding?

This is very good to know. I only hope it spreads.

[RamboLiberal]

17. I don't think most of this stuff is in the book

guess we'll see Tuesday, but NY Daily News claims to have a copy and they call it catty but not that revealing.

What they did say.

Kelley's source about the First Lady's alleged pot smoking is a Texas public relations man named Robert Nash who says, "She not only smoked dope, but she sold dope."

Kelley also claims that the First Couple went to pot parties on the British Virgin Islands with Laura Bush's college roommate Jane Clark and her pal, Hall of Fame pitcher Sandy Koufax.

To back up the much-rumored story of the younger George Bush getting an abortion for a girlfriend, Kelley cites Hustler magazine publisher Larry Flynt.

Kelley offers no new insights into Bush's controversial stint in the Texas Air National Guard. But the Bush that appears in her book is a mean ex-drunk who mistreats his wife, believes Jews can't go to heaven and is terrified of "looking wimpish."

http://www.nydailynews.com/front/story/231026p-198371c.html

Still I can't wait for Tuesday. Also Kelley is supposed to be on the Today show for 3 straight days starting Monday. Let's see if NBC has caved to the threats from the BFEE.

[GOPAgainstGW]

20. Daily News is Full of Shite and they DO NOT have a copy of the book!

[RamboLiberal]

21. How do you know?

Where did your source get their info? I'm betting most of what you list is not in the book!

[GOPAgainstGW]

22. MORE KITTY KELLY "THE FAMILY" BOOK DETAILS - Some Are Dupes

Some cases Kelley is able to make:

George Bush has started drinking again. His history includes cocaine use at Camp David, by eyewitness account, which is even more dangerous to the republic. Bush has never admitted this, but Kelley has enough details to be convincing.

Bush associates (as verified on the political site www.salon.com) have noticed his increasingly erratic behavior, including open swearing by a man who wears his religion on his sleeve and all over his wardrobe.

George Bush now fits the bill on all 13 characteristics on the Hare Psychopathy Checklist.

George and Laura are on the rocks. He has broken his promise to stay off the sauce. He drug her into his family obligation to acquire power, against her will, and now that has led to a quest for world domination -- well beyond the expectations of a middle-class librarian from the smoggy oilfields of Midland, Texas.

The Bush daughters are out of control. Even while working on his campaign from a suburban Virginia office, they are drinking practically all night long. Secret Service agents are finding them a more difficult assignment than protecting the president.

Bush's conservative base, especially the domestic oil interests, are revolting, and not in the way you Liberals think. Texas loyalists who put Dubya and Poppy in high office, like Jimmy Allison, the Hearst of Texas, have been insulted and frozen out, and they are mad as heck. The Texas oil people are not people to be trifled with. They know that ol' Dubya is betraying them to return to the Bushes' first loyalty: to the Harriman and Rockefeller families of New York.

Kitty Kelley has a large number of details that point to an abortion for a Bush girlfriend in the past. Presto! He's Hypocrite-in-Chief, even to conservatives.

The Bush campaign has been based on discrediting the military service of John Kerry (even though Bush passed altogether on Vietnam), but his grandfather, Prescott Bush, practically invented fake medals! The family had Prescott's World War I exploits plastered on the front page of a Columbus, Ohio, newspaper -- including a claim that he earned the highest medal from three governments. It had to be retracted when the family admitted Captain Prescott had not even come under fire! Is Kelley's reporting of "three generations" ancient history? Perhaps, but if the Bush campaign goes back two wars, Kitty might as well go back a few more.

Kitty Kelley details many people done dirty by the Bushes over many years. There are many axes to grind besides Lizzie Kelley's.

Government insiders can sink any presidency any day of any year by leaks, disinformation, and sheer power. Dubya's underlings are ready to pull the plug and jump ship. Colin Powell will not be in the next Bush administration.

George Bush is being told that the national budget and trade deficits are not sustainable and (by advisor Matt Simmons) that the world is running out of energy. Bush knows when world oil production will peak.. He's just not telling. As the energy goes, so goes the economy. It won't be long until "Bushvilles" join the national lexicon alongside "Hoovervilles." It won't happen until after the election of 2004 -- Bush can manage that.

George Bush does not handle stress well -- lots of details on that. He is becoming as unglued as a cardboard house in a cloudburst, and becomes a compulsive drunk.

Laura Bush has gotten a free ride from the media, but a covered-up wreck that killed a boy in Texas and past drug use can change that, once Kelley brings out the details.

Kitty Kelley was paid $4 million to write "The Family." This is one thing she won't tell. It is a political hit piece, bought and paid for by Doubleday publishers but underwritten by Bush enemies. They have indemnified Doubleday, though it's unnecessary since the book will sell a million copies. The Bush-betrayed will see that the word gets out.

Over and above all of this, the book is well documented, thorough, and thoroughly convincing.

George Bush has personally alienated the political head of every country in the world, including Britain's Tony Blair. All of them hope against hope for his defeat in the election. A big question is how long many of these leaders, especially Vladimir Putin, will keep fronting for Bush.

The Bush family is basically a crime family, an English version of the Gambinos or the Sopranos. Follow the money, as the research arm of Kitty Kelley & Co. has, and you will see who is pulling Bush's strings. He is not your president but merely the front man for those padding his bank accounts.

George Bush and other members of his administration will probably be indicted, if not tried, for crimes for blowing the cover of CIA operative Valerie Plame, wife of Ambassador Joe Wilson. The criminal investigation is under way and it will lead straight to the Oval Office.

Both George Bushes are beholden to Saudi Arabian interests. They serve these interests while pretending to serve Israeli interests. Do not blame the Zionists for Bush's actions.

[jeff30997]

24. Fascinating stuff. It's their turn to get the dirt.

:evilgrin:

[yardwork]

37. Most of this is already documented

If it takes a gossipy tell-all book to finally get Americans to pay attention to the truth, so be it. Most of this information has already been published by well-respected sources. Unfortunately, it has been ignored if not deliberately covered up by the main-stream press.

One error I noted above is the reference to Jimmy Allison that implies he is angry. I believe he is deceased. His widow gave an interview recently in which she said these things.

[Cha]

59. I wonder if there are any horror stories from

when bush was the governor of Texas?

Payback is a Bitch!


I hope Kitty Fares better than Jim Hatfield and "Fortunate Son"!

" Hatfield will live on through his books. Jim's life will not be soon
forgotten. The story of Fortunate Son is gravely important. ...

23. Kitty Kelley’s “The Family”– The Inside Scoop, Part I

”Insider’s News”, - 09.09.04/.09.11.04
Kitty Kelley’s “The Family”– The Inside Scoop, Part I
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=774741&mesg_id=774741
====================

Here’s some detailed information on Kitty Kelley’s new book, The Family: The Real Story of the Bush Dynasty.

The initial printing was to be 600,000, but this week they increased it to 750,000. The expected full print is 1 million copies. Kitty Kelley was paid $4 million to write "The Family." It is a political hit piece, bought and paid for by Doubleday publishers but underwritten by Bush enemies.

They have indemnified Doubleday, though it's unnecessary since the book will sell very well, and place quite well on all major Top Seller Lists. People love rooting through other people’s trash, particularly people of power. Besides, the Bush-betrayed will see that the word gets out. Gosh, I’m sure glad we don’t know any of these disgusting Repubs,…do we..lol!

I’m impressed how Doubleday has set up the marketing and promotion side for the Book, and are doing a good job of keeping it under wraps. Their attorney’s went through the book’s draft and final with a fine tooth comb twice. They have the book placed with almost 50 different retailers. On the larger outlets they have guaranteed residuals, and paid upfront promotion fees.

For this type of book, overall it’s pretty well documented, thorough, and will probably convince a large number of average readers. Next week Kitty hits the talk show circuit, with a three part interview on the NBC’s Today Show with Matt Lauer, Dateline, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, MSNBC Hardball with Chris Matthews, CNN with Aaron Brown, MSNBC- The Don Imus show, Late Night with David Letterman, Live Regis and Kelly, and we understand much more TBA.

After Kitty’s talk show tour she is doing a large promotional tour in Texas. First stop is Karl Rove’s home city of Austin, and the Texas Monthly is writing an article and backing her. The Texas Monthly has been an institution for the Bush Family for 15 years, and never written a negative word about them. Like many of us, all that has changed and the Bush’s are going to get everything they deserve. After Austin, Kitty does similar appearances in San Antonio, Houston, Dallas, then hits the smaller Texas markets.

The Austin market has been softened up for Kitty’s appearance, by none other than Larry Flynt, who spoke at the University of Texas last week promoting his book:
Sex, lies, politics and Larry Flynt: The Naked Truth
(Getting rid of George W. Bush and his Administration)
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0758204833/103-9847008-0812638?v=glance

Larry did a great job and there was a huge attendance. Here was his schedule and several articles:
Monday 8/30/04 - Larry Flynt in Austin:
7 p.m. discussion - BookPeople, on the corner of Sixth and Lamar (Same store Kitty Kelley will appear)
9:45 p.m. signing and showing of "The People v. Larry Flint"
Alamo Drafthouse Cinema

Tuesday 8/31/04 - 8 p.m. Lecture
Jester Auditorium
Hosted by Students for John Kerry

The Daily Texan - 8/30/04
Sex, lies, politics and Larry Flynt: Getting rid of Bush
Hustler founder to promote anti-Bush book, speak at UT
http://www.dailytexanonline.com/news/2004/08/30/Focus/Sex-Lies.Politics.And.Larry.Flynt.Getting.Rid.Of.Bush-707024.shtml

The Austin Chronicle – In Person, Larry Flynt – 9/3/04
http://www.austinchronicle.com/issues/dispatch/2004-09-03/books_inperson.html
While they state otherwise in public, the Bush-Cheney-GOP is very concerned about Kitty’s book release, and are scrambling. I think the “Dem Friends” got the Bush Family Mafia’s attention when a full page ad for Kitty’s book mysteriously appeared in 20,000+ Republican National Convention’s Guide books they got stuck having to use in New York City. Gosh, every time I think about it I start laughing...slick!

More importantly, John O’Neill and his Dixie Cup Clowns for Bush, with their 2-bit book and KKK publisher Regnery, are going to get a first class education on how the real pros run a big time smear campaign. – jj

33. "underwritten by Bush enemies"....details, please!

I asked this in a previous thread & got no answer. What's the evidence that Kelley's book is backed by anybody but Doubleday? The book was planned years ago & should make money because her previous ones have done well.

The Swift Boat thing was backed by Bush supporters. Who are the "real pros" who are running a "big time smear campaign"? What shadowy political forces are behind the book?

Sorry, it's hard for me to trust anybody with GOP in their name.

[GOPAgainstGW]

36. GOP? Your Call!, But I Can Tell you HAVE NOT Read our Main Threads!

Before you start bashing people you might wish to get educated. Read all our main threads and comments included below and then get back with me and tell me if you feel the same. And if you don't have time to get educated, I don't have time to respond back to you, Ok!

Also tell me, what is the difference between a Conservative Democrat and a Liberal Republican in your opinion? What are you? What State do you live in?

42. I appreciate what your group is doing

and I think that lots of other DUers do as well. We are a little tense today because the boards have been full of disruptors. Maybe Kitty Kelley's book has a lot to do with the freeper hysteria.

I understand why true Republicans are horrified by what shrub's circle has done to this country. The chimp's actions and policies betray every legitimate democratic belief. It used to be that Republicans and Democrats agreed about the major goals but disagreed about the best way to achieve them. These neo-cons have hijacked the Republican Party and taken off into a world of pure greed and destruction. It's in our interest to band together and get rid of them.

Then we can go back to arguing between ourselves. :-)

[GOPAgainstGW]

53. Thanks, Everyone Just Needs to Stay Focused. K-E Can Still Easily Lose!

in fact our internal dymanic projection numbers went negative for K-E last week finally. This Middle East disaster is really starting to hurt Kerry. Bush-Cheney caused the disaster, and yet K-E is getting hurt by it.

[Bridget Burke]

57. I've not been able to avoid your other threads.

I have never been anything but a Democrat and I live in Texas.

What's your source for the "Bush enemies" who are actually behind this book? Are you trying to plant "evidence" that the book has smear-minded Democratic backers? Isn't the fact that Kelley's books sell & Doubleday wants to make money the main reason this is being published?

[Cha]

60. Wouldn't there have to be more than a

"million copies"? Try, 25 Million copies! At least!

[Jackpine Radical]

69. 25 mil cc. needed to materially affect the vote? Not at all.

First, probly every copy will be read by 5 people (think library cc., for example).
Second, and far more importantly, the book will generate one HELL of a lot of attention in the media, if only because of all the Rovian apologists who come crawling out of the woodwork to attempt damage control.
And, for a third, what if Dan Rather/60 Minutes etc.--or whoever-- are lying in the weeds with a lot of confirmatory information to start pouring on the fire?

Larry Flynt has only been held back by (what passes in him for) ethical considerations from dumping the whole abortion enchilada. Think he might unload before this is all over? Especially if Rove threatens him or something?

[RamboLiberal]

25. Sunday Herald has an extensive bit on the book and TANG

story that has been revived.

http://www.sundayherald.com/44773

Even more damaging is the allegation aired by Kelly in her book, The Family: The Real Story of the Bush Dynasty, that she has gathered “a great deal of circumstantial evidence” that the President helped arrange for a girlfriend to have an abortion in the 1970s.

Kelly quotes a former lieutenant, who refers to Bush not taking his medical during his Air National Guard days, saying: “There is circumstantial evidence pointing to substance abuse by Bush during this period.”

Laura is also supposed to have had to flee her marital home on a number of occasions because of Bush’s apparently abusive behaviour. However, the police were said to have never been involved.

Kelly’s book quotes a family friend saying of Bush: “George has no humility whatsover about being President. He really thinks he deserves the office; that it’s his by merit, not default. With each political job he’s had, he’s gotten worse, more arrogant. Now he’s unbearable.” Kelly’s book concludes that Bush’s faith makes him invulnerable to self-doubt – just like his political friend and fellow Christian Tony Blair.

[jeff30997]

28. "He really thinks he deserves the office; that it’s his by merit"

Well he's the only one who believe that.:evilgrin:

[GOPAgainstGW]

30. Foreign Press is Best for Hate Bush Articles-Whole World hates the Prick!

The British and Australian newspapers and news sites are very good and have been tearing Bush's ass up. There are British and Aussie citizens at Camp X-Ray,...been there for years, abused, no human rights, total violations of Geneva Convention by U.S. and hell England and Australia are damn coalition partners.

43. Holy Sh*t, I never got the "Poppy" pun.

That's great! I was wondering about the abortion story and its connection to Larry Flynt. A while back it was mentioned that Flynt had the dirt on the Bush abortion scandal and was working on a book to be released this summer. Then recently I read that he was making appearances in support of the Kitty Kelley book. So will this book reveal whatever evidence Flynt supposedly had about the abortion issue?

[GOPAgainstGW]

45. DETAILS: - LARRY FLYNT ON THE G.W. BUSH GIRLFRIEND ABORTION

I have heard Larry Flynt talk about this situation three times over the years. He has all the investigative documents on the Bush Girlfriend abortion issue and said his people actually interviewed the women directly “one-on-one”.

Flynt said the women was scared to take on the Bush Texas Mafia empire and sign full legal affidavits on the situation. She was afraid that her signed affidavits would come back and haunt her later or she would end up in a ditch dead or something. Note: There are over 20 people involved in/or “around” the Bush Texas Mafia, that have died over the years of “interesting circumstances”.-NKR

Here’s details of the Bush Girlfriend Abortion:

Here’s part of a CNN Transcript that CNN deleted from their files right after the Crossfire show Flynt was on. I personally watched the show and have a video somewhere:

Mr. Novak : Mr. Flynt, NEVER let it be said that we CENSOR any of our guests here on CROSSFIRE -- and you said you wanted to talk about the election. Tell me what you wanted to say.

Mr. Flynt : Well, during the impeachment debacle, we did an investigation which resulted in the resignation of Bob Livingston and others, and we have continued this investigation -- and for eight months we've been looking into George W. Bush's background.

And we've found out in the early 1970s, he was involved in an abortion in Texas -- and I just think that it's sad that the mainstream media, who's aware of this story, won't ask him that question, when they were able to ask him the drug question without any proof at all -- and we've got all kinds of proof on this issue.

Mr. Novak : Well, you're ...

Mr. Flynt : You know, the guy ADMITTED he was a drunk for twenty years, and if the abortion issue is true, then that puts him lower on the morality scale than Bill Clinton!

Mr. Novak : Mr. Flynt, you said IF it's true and you have no proof of that. I gather you are a very strong ...

Mr. Flynt < smiling, mind you> : THE HELL WE DON'T HAVE PROOF

Mr. Press : All right! Larry Flynt -- a man who speaks his word. But we remind you, they are Larry Flynt's words and not ours. Larry Flynt, thank you very, very much for joining us ...
---END---

This was followed by an online chat, in which Flynt went into greater detail :

CNN : Mr. Flynt, I would like to know how you plan to protect yourself from a law suit by claiming to have the goods on GWBush.

Flynt : Because we have them and the truth is an absolute defense.

CNN : When and where are you going to publish information about George W. Bush?

Flynt : When I said that we had the proof, I am referring to knowing who the girl was, knowing who the doctor was that performed the abortion, evidence from girlfriends of hers at the time, who knew about the romance and the subsequent abortion.

The young lady does not want to go public, and without her willingness, we don't feel that we're on solid enough legal ground to go with the story, because should she say it never happened, then we've got a potential libel suit. But we know we have enough evidence that we believe completely.

One of the things that interested us was that this abortion took place before Roe Vs. Wade in 1970, which made it a crime at the time. I'd just like the national media to ask him if abortion is okay for him and his family, but not for the rest of America. We're not looking at it as a big issue, we're looking at it as a situation of people not being told the truth. I think the American people have a right to know everything there is to know about someone running for President.

Note : Apparently, the source of this story was due to go public via publisher Larry Flynt, but found out that Flynt was planning to make a tabloid sale, and changed her mind. Like George W. Bush's intervention in commuting the sentence of serial killer Henry Lee Lucas, this is a story that is circulating in the press packs, but that few people want to touch at the eleventh hour in a U.S. presidential election
--END--

More precise details

In the winter of 1971 George W. Bush was dating a woman named Robin Lowman (now Robin Garner). Miss Lowman became pregnant by G.W. and he arranged for her to have an abortion - which in the great state of Texas in 1971 was very illegal! Not to mention that George W. is running as a pro-life candidate for the presidency.

The unnamed source of this story, was a friend of Robin Lowman's and the girlfriend of the man who arranged the abortion. His name is Robert Carl Chandler. Chandler is a Bush friend and supporter from way back and he made the arrangements for Miss Lowman's abortion at the Twelve Oaks Hospital in Houston, TX (now the Bayou City Medical Center). The source overheard the call by Mr. Chandler to arrange the abortion and the source visited Robin Lowman at the Twelve Oaks Hospital after the procedure.

The source meanwhile, is afraid of coming forward, saying that she was threatened by Chandler and another Bush friend and supporter named Jim Bath. Bath has longstanding intelligence connections, and played a role in the BCCI ($$) scandal. Robin Lowman (now Garner) is married to Jerry Lee Garner who is an FBI agent. So, that's the story : an illegal back room abortion arranged by the Republican party Presidential candidate who is running on a pro-life ticket.

$$ - John Kerry was the one that basically took on everyone in Washington and busted/exposed/shut down BCCI which was a major Bin Laden/Bush Family Texas Mafia “front operation bank”. Here’s one good article:
http://www.washingtonmonthly.com/features/2004/0409.sirota.html

Bernie Ward talks to Larry Flynt

"Bernie Ward, KGO radio, called Larry Flynt and asked him about what happened when he was on Crossfire and what does Flynt know and what can he prove. This is what Flynt had to say:

Flynt said he could hear them screaming in his ear piece "there is nothing we can do about it, we are live." After the show Flynt went on to another interview I think in So. Calif. He then heard that the powers that be said no tape was to be released, no transcripts to be let out. He learned that CNN deleted the transcripts and then they decided that didn't look good so they deleted everything. Flynt said his 3 investigators had been investigating for 8 months.

In 1970 George W. Bush was working for his father in his campaign in Texas. He got a girl pregnant and he got her an abortion. His fathers campaign manager arranged for the abortion. Four of her friends knew about the affair, knew about the pregnancy and knew about the abortion. The only thing Flynt is lacking is the girl to say yes to telling her story. He has affidavits from the 4 girls. Flynt said he went to the mainstream media and said you do not have to ask about the story just ask if it happened. They won't touch it.

The girlfriend says she does not have anything bad to say about George W.Bush. When she was asked if she was mad because George did not come to the hospital she got upset and cried. Abortions were not legal then, it was before Roe VS. Wade. Flynt's question is "how is it ok for George W. Bush and not everyone else."
--END--

July 2004 – S.M. - Ok tell me your Bush-abortion story again, probably for your zillionth time in the last four years, re your claim that young George W. Bush paid for his girlfriend's illegal abortion.

Larry Flynt - You can't stay with a story this long and not believe in it. In 2000, I got a call from a lawyer in Houston. He told me that his client, "Susan," could prove that George W. Bush arranged for his girlfriend to have an abortion back in the early 1970s. Her boyfriend at the time, "Clyde," was pals with Bush and set up the procedure. We checked up and found that indeed "Clyde" was responsible for keeping Bush out of trouble. Bush had knocked up a girl named "Rayette." We talked to the doctor that performed the abortion.

We felt we really had a blockbuster story, but about two months before we were going to break the story, "Susan" disappeared. We finally found her. She was living in a half-million-dollar home in Corpus Christi, Texas. Before that she was living in a small apartment working for $13,000 a year as a cocktail waitress. I'm not saying Bush bought her off, but I'm confident that one or more of his cronies did. The only thing that interested me in this story is -- I'm pro-choice, but to have a guy who is running on a pro-life platform ... and this procedure was committed in 1971, two years before Roe vs. Wade, which would have made it a crime.


I went to two members of the national press (during the 2000 presidential campaign) and said, "Look. I don't have anyone out on the stump. You guys do. At least ask Bush the question." You know what? They refused to. One of them had the nerve to tell me that the election was too close. "We don't want to be the ones to tip it in any direction." I thought, that gives you a really great feeling about the press.

[Clinton Crusader]

70. Now THIS sounds like the JFK Assassination...

Note: There are over 20 people involved in/or “around” the Bush Texas Mafia, that have died over the years of “interesting circumstances”.

All the witnesses disappearing, dying under mysterious circumstances, and the actuary saying the odds of all those people being dead by 1967 (I think) was astronomical and beyond unlikely.

FOR THREE PART SEGMENT.

NOTE: This was posted on another thread by us, pulling over to this thread,-R.E

=======================
Email Rec’d Friday, 09.10.04-15:36

As of this afternoon NBC has refused to drop any of its television interviews with Kitty Kelly, including the 3 part segment on the Today show next week. So we will see what happens with the book release next Tuesday and her jaunt through the media gardens.

Presently “The Family” is #3 Top Seller at B&N and #2 at Amazon, and will be #1 on both next week, along with hitting #1 on the New York Times Best Seller List.

Also noticed the GOP ops are buying O’Neill’s “Unfit for Command” book like mad to keep it at the top of the book charts. No way that limited print, two-bit, yesterday’s news book can compete with “The Family” with a total planned printing of 1 million copies and retailing through almost 50 distributors . It will engulf them like Hurricane Ivan.

This was in the WSJ today: Could the White House assault be boosting one of its least favorite authors? - "A Republican attack on author Kitty Kelley's forthcoming biography, 'The Family: The Real Story of the Bush Dynasty,' is helping to build advance demand for the title scheduled to hit bookstores Tuesday.

"At a time when political books are leading the ranks of nonfiction bestsellers, 'The Family' is expected to be one of the biggest titles in the critical fall season. Bookseller Borders Group Inc. yesterday ordered more copies of 'The Family' based on the media attention the book is receiving. 'We expected it to be a big seller, but now we want more,' said Mike Spinozzi, Borders chief marketing officer." Copies now in print: 720,000. and No. 4 on Amazon this morning.

51. Kitty Kelley's Publisher Seeks Damages From Newsweek

Kitty Kelley publisher seeks damages
By HILLEL ITALIE,. AP NATIONAL WRITER
http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/artandlife/apother_story.asp?category=1404&slug=Kitty%20Kelley%20Book%20Newsweek

NEW YORK -- The publisher of Kitty Kelley's controversial new biography of the Bush family has accused Newsweek of allegedly violating a prepublication agreement and said the magazine owed "substantial damages." "We demand public acknowledgment and additional remedies," Stephen Rubin, president and publisher of the Doubleday Broadway Publishing Group, said Thursday. Rubin declined to say how much money Doubleday was seeking and whether the publisher would sue. A letter sent this week to Newsweek editor Mark Whitaker cited a signed confidentiality agreement reached in August in which the magazine promised not to disclose details of the book before publication. Newsweek was to receive an early copy.

According to the letter, Newsweek violated the terms when correspondent Howard Fineman appeared on Don Imus' radio show Tuesday and "disparaged" the book, saying the magazine would not publish excerpts because of questions about Kelley's reporting. The letter also noted a Washington Post report that Newsweek had decided not to run an advance story on "The Family," citing similar concerns. The magazine had allegedly promised such an article. "In reliance upon such representations, Doubleday turned down an offer from Newsweek's major competitor (Time) to publish a news story," reads the letter from Katherine Trager, general counsel for Random House, Inc., of which Doubleday is a division. "This flagrant disregard of basic principles governing the prepublication review of books is unprecedented" and entitles Doubleday and Kelley to "substantial damages."

52. Kitty Kelley to discuss Bush book on 'Today' and Other Shows This Week

Kitty Kelley to discuss Bush book on 'Today'
http://www.billingsgazette.com/index.php?id=1&display=rednews/2004/09/12/build/nation/72-kitty-kelly-bush-book.inc

NEW YORK - NBC's "Today" show beat out ABC's "Good Morning America" for first TV interview rights to Kitty Kelley's controversial new biography of President Bush, but the big "get" may turn out to be more trouble than it's worth.

With the close-fought presidential election in full force and Kelley's past work regularly the subject of skeptical questioning, many TV media outlets decided to stay clear of an author interview. Not so NBC. Starting Monday, top-rated "Today" will devote three mornings to "The Family: The Real Story of the Bush Dynasty," which is being published next week by Doubleday Broadway. According to news reports, among its pages are allegations of drug use by the president when he was younger.

Like CBS News' "60 Minutes" - which this week came under attack from conservative critics who questioned the authenticity of documents it revealed that raise questions about Bush's Texas National Guard service in the 1970s - NBC already has come in for some well-coordinated criticism.

The White House this week took the unusual step of calling NBC News President Neal Shapiro, according to an NBC executive who wouldn't comment on what was said. A White House spokesman declined to comment on the call but said the book "appears to be the same trash that was discredited, disavowed or dismissed years ago."

In addition, the Republican National Committee circulated a memo to talk-radio hosts under the headline, "New Kelley Book, Same Old Kelley Slime." It listed criticisms of Kelley, as reported by other news organizations from the Los Angeles Times to CBS News and People magazine as far back as 1978, and noted: "From what we know of (the new book) so far, there's nothing to indicate any factual basis for her unsubstantiated claims."

"Today's" interviews with Kelley will be conducted by co-anchor Matt Lauer. He also just interviewed the president, in a taped session over three days during the Republican National Convention.
In addition, "Hardball With Chris Matthews," which airs on NBC's MSNBC cable network, and the syndicated entertainment newsmagazine "Extra," which airs on a number of NBC-owned stations, will conduct interviews with Kelley on Tuesday.

NBC News spokeswoman Allison Gollust declined to comment on why the network decided to do the interview, except to note that "this is a very competitive interview that all the morning shows and networks were after." NBC, she added, will thoroughly review all the material in advance and "ask all the appropriate questions."

The White House has one advantage if it wants to avail itself: All three days of interviews will be live, not pre-taped, as is often the case. Depending on what Kelley says the first day, the White House will be offered a chance to respond Tuesday and Wednesday, NBC said.

While ABC made an aggressive push for Kelley, "The Family" didn't generate the kind of media scrum that usually results when a high-profile book is about to be published. CBS' third-place morning show said it passed on Kelley; Doubleday spokeswoman Suzanne Herz said the show was never offered a chance at the first interview and that discussions with CBS' top-rated newsmagazine, "60 Minutes," ended in a "mutual pass."

CNN's "Larry King Live" essentially passed on the book as well, offering up a little-viewed Saturday time slot for an interview. While interviewer King, CNN's highest-rated show, has frequently booked Kelley to talk about her past work on Princess Diana, King is also close to the Bush family. A CNN spokesman said the network doesn't comment on guest bookings.

Three other CNN programs have scheduled interviews with Kelley, starting Tuesday: "LateNight With Aaron Brown," "American Morning" and "Lou Dobbs Tonight." CNN Washington Bureau Chief David Bohrman said he had not heard from the White House regarding the scheduled interviews.

ABC's second-place "Good Morning America," which has made some ratings gains on "Today" in recent months, made an all-out pitch for the Kelley interviews, which it promised would also be promoted on the syndicated "Entertainment Tonight," with which ABC has an arrangement.

In a letter to Doubleday, Patty Neger, coordinating producer for "Good Morning America," wrote that the show was prepared to "work in tandem with other ABC News programs to offer a network package that will give maximum exposure to this eagerly awaited book."

The president's son, rated 5.5 on a 10-point U.S. Tennis Association scale, entered to compete in the 4.5 category. Their opponents, after getting slaughtered, protested and Bush was disqualified.

Both political parties share complicity in the greatest criminal fraud in American history. Michael Dukakis made a brief mention of it in the 1988 election campaign but was steered away from it as "an unplayable issue" by advisors who sought to protect Robert Strauss' son Richard, Jim Wright, Tony Coelho, the Democratic senators of the "Keating Five" and other vulnerable Democratic congressmen.

65. KITTY KELLEY DETAILS UPDATE and TV SCHEDULE

http://sydney.indymedia.org/front.php3?article_id=46125&group=webcast

Monday a.m., Kitty Kelley will air her book on the George Bush family - The Family - on NBC's TODAY SHOW, which starts at 7 a.m. This and the release of the book the next day are historic occasions. The book will generate headlines and, eventually, notes in history
books. Below we have listed some of the programs Miss Kitty will be on. The main lesson from the book is this: "W" as in George W. Bush stands for "Wimp." Bush relates poorly to women, including Laura Bush, and has other relationships that are less than manly,
according to the book, discussed below.

A SCHEDULE OF KITTY KELLEY APPEARANCES IS BELOW.

AUSTRALIAN NEWSPAPER REPORTS "THE FAMILY" WILL DISCUSS BUSH RELATIONS WITH VICTOR ASHE

The Age, a mainstream Australian newspaper like the Washington Post, reported on Sept. 10 of Ms. Kelley that, She may also raise a nasty rumour that circulates in Washington DC from time to time, that President Bush had a "special relationship" with a former mayor of Tennessee, Victor Ashe, who is now the US ambassador to Poland." The quote refers to Victor Ashe, the former mayor of Knoxville, Georgie's roomie at Yale and, like Georgie, a cheerleader.

Ashe has received other official appointments from Bush. Both men have made several trips to commingle, since Bush acceded to the presidency. Ashe has visited the Bush ranch at Crawford, TX. Records of visits to Crawford, by Ashe and others, are no longer kept (though records of visits to the White House are kept). Bush appointed Ashe to a position outside the country before the 2004 election campaign started.

Laura Bush is going around the country proclaiming that "W (the salient initial of her husband) stands for women." Make that singular, if the above story is true.This is not a gay-bashing article. This is not to say that gays are less than anyone else or not strong. However, traditionally - and George Bush pretends to be a traditional man - men chase men and women chase women, exclusively.

"W" STANDS FOR "WIMP" - The evidence of these stories is in the book, "The Family," in hundreds of notes. The stories are well souced, over 800 sources.

The book, The Family, also reports that George Bush has engaged in domestic violence. This could have been verbal abuse, which Bush is noted for and which earned him the nickname "Lip" at Yale. Whatever it was, it prompted Laura Bush to flee her own home on more than one occasion, the book says, according to the Sunday Herald (UK) newspaper. Real men do not bully women.

GEORGE AND LAURA ARE HAVING TROUBLES

George and Laura may be on the rocks. He probably has broken his promise to stay off intoxicants. According to the book, Bush used cocaine AFTER his conversion to Christianity. That brings into question about his sincerity and his present claims to moral superiority. Also relevant is what the drugs could have done to his mind before his conversion and alleged abstenance.

George Bush drug Laura Bush into his family obligation to acquire power - against her will and his promise - and now that has led to a quest for world domination -- well beyond the expectations of a middle-class librarian from the smoggy oilfields of Midland, Texas

A recent press conference illustrates the wimp charge. A group of female protesters interrupted Bush's press conference until the police and Secret Service agents could remove them. Under similar circumstances, Ronald Reagan would have looked up, flashed a smile, and tossed his head and tossed a quip. Bush, on the other hand, looked actually frightened.

And who can forget Bush hiding out on 9/11 while Rudy Giuliani faced the falling steel and bricks at Ground Zero?

George "Blood and Guts" Bush: Our troops' blood and his "guts."

AWOL CHARGED IN "THE FAMILY"

That the man lacks physical courage is shown in the book. His flight as a pilot was mainly not in the Texas Air National guard but *from* the Guard. This of course is the biggest current news story on Bush, other than Ms. Kelley's book. On a personal note, I also was in the Air National Guard. Something that has not been discussed, and should be, is other documents that are generated when one leaves the ANG. If a person leaves a state ANG, that requires that an order be generated by the state adjutant general's department, Texas or Alabama, in Bush's case, assigning him to another state or to the Obligated Reserve section, ARPC, Denver, CO (per para. 14p, ANGR 39-10 (Removal from state).

This was not done in Bush's case.

When Bush actually left the Air National Guard to go to Harvard Business School, there should have been a Discharge And/Or Reenlistment Interview, which would have generated another form from his particular ANG unit.

This was not done in Bush's case. These Bush exceptions should not be dismissed as privelege of the "well placed" that was common at the time (if it was, it still is). The Bush election campaign has made light of John Kerry's service in Vietnam, 15 weeks. However, Kerry was in a combat zone whatever he did. He probably did at least come under fire - at least. Bush, however, made sure he would never be in combat and reneged on his agreement even to serve as a reserve pilot, which cost the taxpayers over $1 million to train him for.

W, WIMP, BARBARA'S BOY

"The Family" details another special relationship of George Bush, that to his mother Barbara. Combined with the documented love/hate relationship to his father, this could be described as Oedipal. Part of his rationale for attacking Iran could have been, "I'll show Mother that I finished what my old man started and saved his butt to boot." (The Clinton administration claimed that Saddam Hussein had plotted to kill the former president Bush ex officio.)

LIAR OF THE DAY: North Korea had a large explosion detected by satellites last week. Colin Powell says the mushroom cloud was not from a nuclear explosion.

LAURA BUSH NO ANGEL EITHER

Laura Bush, nee Welch, killed a young man, Michael Douglas, in 1963, by running a stop sign with her car. Of all of the 50,000 people in Midland, Texas, at the time, the youth killed was her boyfriend. Strangely enough, the accident happened in Douglas' neighborhood. Even stranger, Laura Welch left her home for the fateful encounter "after an incident." And strangest of all, Douglas left his home with his father close behind in another car. The police report is shown. When the responding officers checked a box that said, "Is investigation complete?" they checked it "No"; yet there never was any further investigation. Laura was not charged. As First Lady, she let pass a Reader's Digest story that had false statements about mitigating circumstances (type of vehicle, road conditions, etc.).

79. DOUBLEDAY STATEMENT: Sharon Bush's denial is "utterly discredited"

Statement by Doubleday Regarding Kitty Kelley
http://www.prnewswire.com/cgi-bin/stories.pl?ACCT=109&STORY=/www/story/09-13-2004/0002249391&EDATE=

NEW YORK, Sept. 13 /PRNewswire/ -- The following is a statement by
Doubleday regarding Kitty Kelley:

In an appearance on the Today Show on Monday, September 13, 2004, Sharon Bush repeated a denial she made earlier last week. After telling Kitty Kelley that she had knowledge of President George W. Bush "doing cocaine" at Camp David -- "not once, but many times," Mrs. Bush now denies that statement.

This denial has already been utterly discredited by a third party to the meeting at which Mrs. Bush made the statements. Doubleday and Kitty Kelley,author of "The Family: The Real Story of the Bush Dynasty," firmly uphold the accuracy and veracity of reporting on this topic. Further, Doubleday and Ms. Kelley affirm that Mrs. Bush was read her comments on the day following the meeting in a telephone conversation, lasting over an hour, that was witnessed by Random House Vice President Peter Gethers -- that those comments included
her remarks on cocaine use at Camp David -- and that she once again agreed that these comments were true.

The following are undisputable facts:

-- Mrs. Bush confirmed that she was aware of cocaine use by President George W. Bush at Camp David when his father was President

-- Mrs. Bush confirmed that such usage occurred on more than one occasion

-- Mrs. Bush knew that Ms. Kelley planned on using this information in her book and was read the exact quotes that would be utilized

-- Mrs. Bush continued to have a good relationship with Kitty Kelley --long after the meeting in April at which she confirmed the cocaine report

-- Mrs. Bush called Ms. Kelley in May, 2004 after which there was a friendly correspondence.

Additionally, Today Show host Matt Lauer and Mrs. Bush suggested that Kitty Kelley had a "relationship" with Lou Colasuonno, a public relations executive who witnessed the April 1, 2003 lunch meeting between Kitty Kelley and Sharon Bush. Kitty Kelley had never met or spoken with Mr. Colasuonno prior to April 1, 2003. Kitty Kelley has never had and does not have any personal, social or financial relationship with Mr. Colasuonno.

85. Kitty Kelley Beat Around The Bushes for Her Book

Favorite Subject: Unwilling
Kitty Kelley Beat Around The Bushes for Her Book

Washington Post Staff Writer
Tuesday, September 14, 2004; Page C01
http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/wp-dyn/A18879-2004Sep13?language=printer

Decent read article on meeting Kitty Kelley for lunch interview yesterday.

COMMENT: I clearly see much professional jealously by many journalists against Ms. Kelly. She made $4 million for her “The Family" book and her fellow journalists cannot handle it.

MAJOR KELLEY-NBC UPDATE, VERY IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ!!!!!

How did Mutt Lauer Already Have Negative Emails in his hand on the show today with Kitty, which he said they would discuss in tomorrows interview, when Kelley's book has been extremely tightly guarded and only released TODAY (9/14/04)!

It's a darn setup by Rove/White House/GOP Ops/Free Republic Network that we have to get in front of ASAP.

I/we want to know where Lauer got those negative emails, reviewing Kelley's book, he stated today (8:45am EST-9/14/04) on The Today Show interview with Kitty Kelley, BEFORE the book was published!

SECOND, I/we want to know how a TV news reporter (Mutt Lauer) gets WEEKEND access to Saudi Arabia Government Officials and Royal Family Members, per his on air comments in the Kelley interview today, for their rebuttal comments on allegations in her book, THAT HE READ THEIR PREPARED STATEMENTS ON- AIR TODAY.

I/WE HAVE NEVER HEARD A NEWS REPORTER REVIEWING A BOOK MAKE THIS KIND OF STATEMENT ON A NATIONAL TV PROGRAM, AND CLAIM TO HAVE THIS TYPE OF HIGH SECURITY LEVEL ACCESS TO SAUDI ARABIA ROYAL FAMILY MEMBERS WITHOUT CLEARANCE DIRECTLY AND SPECIFICALLY BY THE WHITE HOUSE! – NKR
=================

OTHER COMMENTS: – NKR: Kitty Kelley will be on Hardball tonight with Chris Matthews and The Today Show again tomorrow, among other TV shows we have previously posted at:

99. Critical Book on Bushes Sparks Firestorm

By Kathy Kiely, USA TODAY

WASHINGTON — Seven weeks before Election Day, a new book that paints an unflattering picture of President Bush and his family is putting celebrity biographer Kitty Kelley in the eye of a political hurricane.

http://www.usatoday.com/news/politicselections/nation/president/2004-09-13-kelley-bush-book_x.htm#

GOOD ARTICLE.....

To bolster her account, Kelley says she combed family letters, oral histories, diaries, court documents and congressional records. She said she did nearly 1,000 interviews, compiled 2,800 files and about 10,000 pages of transcribed tapes.

Kelley portrays the current president as a hapless cutup. She contends he got into Yale University because of family pull (Kelley catalogues 35 members of the president's family, beginning with his great-great grandfather, who attended the Ivy League school) and spent more than a decade after graduation drifting from job to job and exasperating his parents.

"George W. Bush was truly the black sheep of the family for a long, long time," Kelley said. She said that at one point, former first lady Barbara Bush stopped speaking to her eldest son for a year because of his drinking.

At the White House, the response was disdainful. Buchan refused to comment on the specifics of the charge, saying the administration is dismissing the entire book because of a "lack of credible sources."

<SNIP>

Note: Kitty Kelley has sold over 100 million books in her career. She was paid $4 million for writing her current book, “The Family”

101. My Thoughts on Kitty Kelley's Interviews - 9/14/04

9/13 NBC-TV Today Show: Part 1 - 8:20 AM- 10 minute interview
...(Mat Lauer was a total jerk & liar, but Kitty did great, she's a real pro! Look forward to meeting her when she comes to Texas in two weeks.)

9/14 NBC-TV Today Show: Part 2 - 8:20 AM- 10 minute interview
...(Mutt Fauer committed serious journalistic fraud in this interview, Kitty did great, even better than Part 1)

9/14 MSNBC-TV - Hardball with Chris Matthews: 7:00 EST
...Matthews was tough but fair, and talked about some of the raunchiest parts of the book, which I was surprised on National TV. Kitty didn't do as we, she really looked and acted fatigued. She is 62 and had a huge interview day with everyone trying to rip her to shreds, so I cut her some slack. Besides, she probably gets fatigued from carrying around all that $4 million she received for writing "The Family", lol!

9/14 CNN-TV - Newsnight with Aaron Brown 10:00 PM EST
...Estrogen bias Brown is so laid back, that it was an easy interview for Kelley. Nothing new disclosed in this boring interview.

9/14 Air America - Al Franken Show
...Franken's Ok, but he gets to screwing around, and off on tangents too much, instead of talking about Kelley's book.

9/14 Extra! WITH DAYNA DEVON, 1/2 HOUR, VARIOUS TIMES IN MAJOR
...Didn't watch.
