Is there a Condi, Laura, and * triangle?

[wakemewhenitsover]

This quote from Maureen Dowd's latest New York Times column...

"Doesn't (Condi) know that the Pentagon has more sides than her Crawford triangle with George and Laura?"

http://www.nytimes.com/2005/01/20/opinion/20dowd.html?incamp=article_popular_3

Put that together with the comment the about-to-become Secretary of State made at a Washington dinner party with New York Times Publisher Arthur Ochs Sulzberger.

"As I was telling my husb . . . " Then she paused abruptly and said, "As I was telling President Bush."

[capriccio]

1. And if?

wouldn't that make them all more interesting?

[followthemoney]

11. Condi better be careful. Don't get Laura jealous.

She accidentally killed an old boyfriend, from what I heard.

[wakemewhenitsover]

12. Are you serious? How?

[DemBones DemBones]

13. Auto accident -- crashed her car into his, running a stop sign.

They were teenagers, probably 17. He was dead at the scene, as I recall.

[zann725]

14. If there's any basis to Astrology, Laura's a SCORPIO!

Never mess with a Scorpio! Scorpios, as the story goes, have an obsession with all things 'dark'...including death. Quite frankly every time she smiles, I swear I hear a snake rattle.

[loritooker]

27. That's interesting. Condi's a scorpio too, I believe. nt

[zann725]

38. OMG! If that's true...it is NOT a good 'sign' of things to come...

No pun intended.

[wakemewhenitsover]

39. Whoa. From astrology-online.com

"Even when Scorpios appear self-controlled and calm there is a seething intensity of emotional energy under the placid exterior. They are like the volcano not far under the surface of a calm sea, it may burst into eruption at any moment."

[zann725]

55. Scorpios 'zap' real well. And when you pit TWO against the other...!

I also just realized Laura owns a Black Cat...and does that odd two-finger wave with her hand.

Probably means nothing...

26. Hi followthemoney!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[followthemoney]

34. Hi Back at Ya!

[googly]

73. Lmao, rofl.....n/t

[ashmanonar]

2. that's...

FUNNY! so when condi gets pregnant in a few months, and has a little big-eared idiot child, we'll know for sure.

[wakemewhenitsover]

3. lol

[ClarkUSA]

4. You don't get it...she doesn't swing that way

[wakemewhenitsover]

6. Then what is Dowd implying?

I think this has great political relevance, since she's about to become the next Secretary of State.

Imagine if it were Clinton appointing a rumored paramour...

[Democrat Dragon]

33. When that happens..

I hope the Wrongwingfundienuts would scream in horror, not because the baby would be a big-eared idiot but * impregnated a BLACK woman.

Nah..they're too united.

[wakemewhenitsover]

35. Isn't it amazing how greed trumps racism?

Rice used to be a Democrat, btw.

:dem:

[Democrat Dragon]

63. you mean like much of the neocon cabal?

[wakemewhenitsover]

64. Really? Who else?

[googly]

74. Condi is too old to pregnent. I believe she is close to 50.

[wakemewhenitsover]

76. She is 50

[despairing optimist]

5. So who gets the cigar?

[wakemewhenitsover]

7. lol

[elehhhhna]

85. take a bow, D.O.--LOL!

[Mabel Dodge]

8. Oh gross....

Thanks for putting that idea in my head. The last thing I want to think about, is the three of them in bed together.

[wakemewhenitsover]

9. I know what you mean

But isn't it politically relevant?

Last thing I wanted to think about was Clinton's private sex life, but look how the country was forced to, thanks to Ken Starr.

Wonder what a Ken Starr would find out about the current prez....

[zann725]

16. A Threesome would NOT be entirely unimaginable for a Scorpio.

Did anyone read the '1984'-ish book, "Handmaid's Tale?" (about a future government and media owned by the Religious Right...where the wealthier and more powerful women no longer bear children, but hire 'Handmaids' who mate with their husbands...while they, the Wealthy Religious Right Wives dutifully look on, and "hold their hands" throughout the deed). Interesting book and image.

But back to the article...

[leesa]

24. Ugly, I agree. I highly doubt Pickles sleeps with Shrub though. Don't

know why but I don't think she likes him....who could? Besides the lunatic Condie.

[Blue_In_AK]

28. I don't think she likes him either.

I've noticed that instead of actually kissing him when those photo ops arise, she sort of brushes her cheek against his and grimaces. (Exactly what my reaction would be, if I even had to get that close to him, which I don't, thank God.)

[bobbieinok]

37. wasn't 2000 PR that Rice felt W very ignorant abt world and she

wanted to help him?????

[TalkingDog]

25. I'll second that while I forcibly hold down breakfast....nnoooo...too late

Blaarrrgghhh.....

[Jackie97]

10. I don't know.

Laura doesn't seem bright enough to be in on a conspiracy. LOL.

[zann725]

17. 'Pickles' not bright?!

n/t

[imenja]

15. Inquiring Minds Want to Know

This, in combination with the piece they did about Lula being a drunk, makes me think the New York Times is trying to rival the National Enquirer in tawdriness. They evidently miss the ribald of the Clinton era.

[zann725]

18. Hey, come on...they're just starting to do their job...

give them a chance. Sometimes the Truth is stranger than fiction.

[imenja]

20. that article on Lula created an international incident

He was furious and threated to expel the Times reporter from Brazil. He was even going to invoke an old law form the Dictatorship to do it. I could see why he was angry. The article was a gossip piece, not real journalism and not something you would expect from the NYT. After a week or so, Lula calmed down, met with the Times reporter, and they had some sort of talk that resulted in the journalist being able to stay in Brazil. All this because the Times thought they'd be the NYPost one day.

[wakemewhenitsover]

31. Was that car accident drinking-related?

[imenja]

40. no, Lula's

Luis Ignacio Lula da Silva, the president of Brazil. The piece caused an international incident. It really was garbage and I was shocked something like that would appear in the times.

[wakemewhenitsover]

62. Thanks for clarification

[fooj]

19. A SHRUB TRIFECTA! Hmmmmmmm...

We KNOW he loves a good trifecta!!!!!!!

[wakemewhenitsover]

36. Especially if it helps destroy Social Security

"The recession -- no question, I remember when I was campaigning, I said, would you ever deficit spend? And I said, yes, only if there were a time of war, or recession, or a national emergency. Never thought we'd get -- And so we have a temporary deficit in our budget, because we are at war, we're recovering, our economy is recovering, and we've had a national emergency. Never did I dream we'd have the trifecta."

[xchrom]

21. i'm sure there is -- but

i'm going to :spank: :spank: you for making me think of it.

[noel711]

22. GAG! The image makes me sick...

[wakemewhenitsover]

56. Sorry about that

[atommom]

23. Let's invite them all on the Jerry Springer show and find out!

I don't watch that show often, but I've noticed that the women are always fighting over some unappealing doofus male. They'd fit right in.

[Mabel Dodge]

29. The Springer Show?!?

Now I'm laughing so hard my coke is coming out of my nose.

[jswordy]

59. I hope that was Coca-cola...

...otherwise it could get expensive!

:eyes:

[robbedvoter]

30. Nah. W is Condi's "husb", Pickles is married to Johhny Walker

The lump in the bed is happy to sweep the porch and take the blame for W's dropping Barney. All's well - dignitude is back in the WH.
On edit, I doubt Condi's fantasy is more than that as Mr pet goat has lost control of that part of his body in the 70's

[wakemewhenitsover]

32. "Because he's hiding." Is that for real? Unbelievable.

[robbedvoter]

44. It is real. Link here:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A12570-2005Jan15.html

No follow up question either.

[wakemewhenitsover]

45. Where have you gone, Woodward & Bernstein?

[leftofthedial]

41. no. Laura is out of the picture

unless the picture is in the media.

[wakemewhenitsover]

42. Like Columba?

[McCamy Taylor]

43. * is King, Laura is First Queen, Condi is Second Queen

Laura is mother to the royal heirs. The Royal Womb.

Condi is the Queen who will do the diplomatic stuff--meet visiting heads of state and actually talk to them about politics. Condi isnt fit to be SOS but she makes a pretty good Queen.

[wakemewhenitsover]

46. Guess we should be grateful she didn't have sons.

They'd be grooming them for 2040.

[LiberalEsto]

49. Sorta like Prince Charlie and Diana and

his horsy looking mistress that he had the tampax fantasies about.

Except that comparing Laura to Diana is quite a bit of a stretch, especially since Diana would never have appeared in public wearing a gown made of dusty old drapes.

[wakemewhenitsover]

51. And Diana used her fame to work for peace...

...toured hospitals, hugged suffering children, publicized banishing land-mines...

[sepia_steel]

47. Who gives a shit

of course, it would be nice to shut the repukes up who go on and on about Clinton's affair...

[wakemewhenitsover]

48. Imagine if Madeleine Albright had referred to Bill Clinton...

...at a dinner party, with NYT people present, as her "husb".

(Assuming Madeleine were slightly younger at the time, and the "husb" reference were followed by a promotion to the plum job in Clinton's cabinet, on the heels of an astonishingly incompetent job performance.)

[Laurab]

50. Well I don't give a shit, really

but someone brought it up, and now I can't get the revolting idea out of my mind. :puke:

What a disgusting thought.

You know, Pickles never does act like she likes him - it's possibly her one redeeming quality.

[wakemewhenitsover]

52. One can do so much good in the role of First Lady...

What does Laura stand for?

[Starlight]

53. I don't know about a threesome, but I'm absolutely sure * & C are lovers.

Remember all those lovey-dovey hug & kiss & drooling all over each other pictures in the paper a few weeks ago? And I read some MSM stories about how * calls her as soon as he wakes up every morning. And she spends weekends with him at the ranch in TX where they go on long walks together for hours. Think about it. If your husband acted like that with a female who worked for him, would you believe it was totally innocent? :wtf:

[wakemewhenitsover]

54. Sadly, Americans will pay more attention to a sex scandal...

...than war.

Al Gore would very possibly be President right now, had Clinton not been entrapped by Ken Starr into revealing his affair with Monica.

[earth mom]

60. I agree with you

it's just too much togetherness for merely an employee and boss. My question though-where the hell is Laura when they are canoodling on the ranch? Is she turning a blind eye to it? If it were me, and my hubby was spending that much time with anyone-having them over for the weekend and going for walks.. I wouldn't like it one iota and for sure there would be hell to pay! Something is definately amiss here, no doubt about it.

[wakemewhenitsover]

61. Why the moral double standard?

Why does the press turn a blind eye when they scrutinized every move Clinton made?

And * Sr. was given a free pass on his affair when he was in the White House.

[Bridget Burke]

68. If your husband acted like that with an employee.... AND....

Your husband was Shrub...

Wouldn't you be relieved? Laura can lounge around the house, take her meds & sip the occasional cocktail. No bothersome conjugal duties, but absolute security in her position!

[wakemewhenitsover]

69. Secure, yes, happy, no...

[CWebster]

57. The Stepford wives

for the home and office.

[wakemewhenitsover]

58. lol

[in_cog_ni_to]

66. Well, I don't know about a threesome, but

since she's not married and has never had a hus..band, I say that was a definite Freudian slip of the lip. They're having an affair. I would bet lots of $$ on it.

[wakemewhenitsover]

67. And she never explained the "husb" slip, as one would expect

[hangemhigh]

89. She didn't want to impugn her integrity. nt

[Carni]

79. No kidding...why would "my husband" even be a part of her vocabulary

I can where if a person was married (or had been married) that a slip like that could happen when they are around someone 24/7.

But a woman that has never been married referring to her boss the chimperor as *my husband*

That is a hell of a freudian slip IMO

[Vinca]

70. I hate when people do this.

Now every time I see any of them, all I can visualize is . . . well, you know. And it ain't a pretty sight.:smoke:

[wakemewhenitsover]

71. Hey, picture any of them separately, it ain't a pretty sight.

[googly]

75. Has anybody seen Laura and Condi together ....ever?

I am convinced Laura is a master at disguise, and takes
on the Condi avatar so the Bushes can exercise more control
over the country.

[wakemewhenitsover]

77. lol

[wakemewhenitsover]

72. To quote Senator Byrd...

"I cannot support higher responsibilities for those who helped set our great nation down the path of increasing isolation, enmity in the world and a war that has no end."

Gotta wonder, is this why she's being given "higher responsibilities"?

[elehhhhna]

86. His wanteing Condi confirmed the same day of the Coronation

seemed strange.

[wakemewhenitsover]

87. True.

What was that about?

[Carni]

78. AH HA! Thank you for posting this!

After the Tsunami *conspiracy* posting fiasco I didn't even want to touch this topic...

I think there indeed is a Condi/ bush thing happening.

Apparently herr stupid doesn't go anywhere without his pal Condi
(she goes to Camp David with them)

In addition it was Condi's old political connections that set bush up to run as Gov of Texas (I just heard that somewhere but I cannot recall the name of the politician that she was working for)

[wakemewhenitsover]

80. After the way Clinton was Tripped up...

...why are Dems are so discreet about an affair which may have generated a war, not just dry-cleaning Bill?

Any idea who the Texas connection was?

[Carni]

81. I wish I could remember

I caught the tail end of the comment while I was on the phone and I am not even sure what show it was on.

I believe they said Rice worked for or assisted some Republican party official, or a politician (GOP) and that she introduced him to bush Jr as a possible candidate for Texas Gov.

I should google around and see if I can find out who it was and what the actual story was... I was surprised because I had never heard it before.

[wakemewhenitsover]

82. Air America?

[Carni]

83. It wasn't AA because I can't get it

It was featured on something mainstream (which shocked me even more)

[wakemewhenitsover]

84. You can probably get it streaming live

http://www.airamericaradio.com/listen.asp

[wakemewhenitsover]

88. * found time to go to Rice's second swearing-in ceremony...

...in the Benjamin Franklin dining room, but no military funerals??
