Regarding our earlier reports, here and here, speculating that the cause of the Goss resignation may have something to do with a developing prostitution scandal, we thought that some additional background information might be helpful.

Last night, MSNBC Countdown reported details of the allegations of prostitutes and ‘poker parties’ as favors for government officials. These ‘Poker Parties’ were held at various locations in D.C. including the famous Watergate Hotel.

The recent resignation of Porter Goss has raised questions about his involvement in this scandal. This video report explains some of the developing details. In fact, Countdown may be the only corporate media broadcast that has devoted significant coverage to the “Watergate Sex Scandal”. We expect that may change as some of the follow-the-leader journalists start reading the tea leaves.

  1. No wonder the prostitutes were there – even the building has an erection!

  2. BB2 – You have a delightful sense of humor,..

    and I thought it was the Washington Monument.

  3. More Republican hypocrisy, lies to get in office…"the party of family values"…

    Also see Republican Don Sherwood from Pa…

  4. What is going on here,…

    I’m going to take my bible,…

    assume the fetal position,…

    and hide under my bed.

    God,… you speak to bu$$$$h,…

    why don’t you speak to us too ?

  5. Ok, from another thread I glean that there is some problem with the p-word above as in "p_____ parties" & that may be why I was told my comment had "questionable content"…so let’s try this again:

    Floridians…
    Our inestimable, subliminable "president" will be doing a fund-raiser in Fort Lauderdale this coming Monday, according to the email I got from a progressive Broward county group…

    Maybe 6 or 7 of us can make some NEW signs—about
    "P_____ Parties" & "Watergate Sex Scandals"—to go along with the ones that say ‘TORTURE IS UN-AMERICAN’ & ‘750 SIGNING STATEMENTS’ & ‘BRING THEM HOME NOW’, etcetera…

    Mine says
    GEORGE W. BUSH… SO POWERFUL… SO DANGEROUS… AND YET, SUCH AN IDIOT

    Whatever, please bring them this Monday to Fort
    Lauderdale & say hello to georgie:

    from their email:
    "President George Bush will be attending a fundraiser
    for Republican Congressman Clay Shaw on Monday, May 8th, at the home of Monica and Mike Maroone, 909 Poinciana Drive, Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

    You can also find the announcement of this event on the National Republican Congressional Committee website…click on their Events link.

    Meeting Place [for protest]:
    Las Olas Citgo Service Station
    2366 E. Las Olas Boulevard
    Ft. Lauderdale, FL 33301

    Meeting Date and Time:
    Monday, May 8th
    4:00 – 6:00 (I think the NRCC website has 4-6:30)

    Very short notice, but I hope a few brave souls will join me. I’ll be proudly wearing my BradBlog shirt.

  6. Joan

    Perhaps this would also make a good sign:

    I about fell out of my chair when I opened the Sacramento Bee today and saw this. I can’t wait for the letters to the editor over this one.

    Whenever Rex Babin hits upon the truth the letters pour in condemning the Bee as liberal propoganda. Yet you won’t find anything in it about the voting machines and other info about what is going on. Maureen Dowd is about as far left as they ever get and she only shows up about once a week.

  7. Yes Joan, I wish I was there to protest with you. You go Girl! My backyard is on a very busy street here in Il and I"m thinking of freeway blogging on my fence. Impeach, and also I’m from the little town that the mayor just used his GOVERNMENT amex to pay for lap dances in a strip club.On that one how about Shame on you Mayor! What do you think?

  8. For Joan: Good luck with your protest. Has anyone made mention of the fact that Clay Shaw was the name of the only person (besides Jack Ruby) ever prosecuted in connection with JFK’s assassination?
    Is this guy related to him?

    How about a sign reading "BUSH: FEET OF CLAY"?

  9. Thanks for the heads-up on the Monday get-together. Getting my friends from Florida to start spreading the word. Would love to see one of those "instant mobs" descend on the place numbering 100,000 or more.

    Paul

  10. Does anyone else wonder how all this happens around the White House but never seems to have a paper trail back to Bush?

    Had a boss once who would give orders but would never sign the order. Hmmmmm

    Truly Bush could be photographed having sex with a goat and his believers would deny it ever happened. After all God talks to Bush, you know.
    There is another word for that and I believe it is unbalanced.

  11. RLM #13
    "BUSH: FEET OF CLAY"…oooh, I like that. Or maybe "CLAY FEET…FORKED TONGUE"?
    I don’t know the answer to your question about Clay Shaw. Anybody know?

  12. Did anyone else hear of this Republican Don Sherwood, from Tunkhannock, Pa., choking his mistress in Washington? He "settled" for millions, much like Rush Limbaugh "settled." I’m from Pa., so it’s been in the local Times Leader newspaper…but has this been a national story? The one I posted in green above? And it’s been covered on a local progressive talk radio show, WILK Nancy & Kevin, which won many awards, and is getting a higher audience than syndicated rightwing shows that follow it, like Rush Limboob, Sean "Oh Say Can You see" Hannity, and Bill O’SerialLielly.

  13. Has anyone noticed the names of some of latest of stardumb in bushdom?

    The third in command at the CIA is named Dusty Foggo (who dabbles n da ho trade) … and the new press secretary is named Snow, who dabbles in snow jobs … (not to be confused with Snottie and Jeffie who dabbled in blow jobs).

    So is this comic relief or are we getting a dusty, foggy, low class show job?

  14. Kind of makes me nostalgic for "Tricky Dick" Nixon & Spiro Agnew’s buddy, "Bebe" Rebozo…
    From Wikipedia:
    "…Always a staunch supporter of Nixon, Rebozo became involved in the Watergate crisis when he was investigated by a congressional committee for accepting a $100,000 cash contribution on behalf of the Nixon campaign from industrialist Howard Hughes."

  15. "The times, they are a changin’…" The corrupt and deceitful and utterly immoral group of thugs running this country is beginning to come unglued. I am confident that the truth about these "parties" and other behaviors by these Republicans, will soon be revealed. Many will be shocked that the "prostitute" parties are made up of mostly gay prostitutes. Many will also be shocked when the identities of some of the participants are disclosed. Some of us already have connected the dots with regard to the Bush/Republican penchant for closeted gays – and younger men – Jeff Gannon/Guckert/ I have learned that some in the gay underground in D.C. are prepared to "out" a very high official in the executive branch. Another informant has said that the scope of this scandal is way beyond anyone’s imagination. Some of the gay hustlers may be willing to "tell all" for a price. This will become very interesting in the near future.

  16. We can’t use the word "pok–," but can we used the word "stud?" Stud is one form of pok–, of course. And it’s also what Jeff Gannon is called, when he isn’t pretending to be a reporter, at least.

    The most popular form of pok– these days isn’t stud, it’s Texas hold ’em. Come to think of it, that might apply equally to Gannon and his Republican friends. If you get my drift.

    Pok–, gay prostitutes, influence peddling, guys with weird names and crooked agendas joining the C.I.A., all of it at the Watergate Hotel! The only person who could have written the story and made it believable was Ian Fleming…and he’s dead.
