Not that there's anything wrong with that


You know I am a big history fan and love to read books about American History. Especially the ones by Doris Kearns Goodwin which she lets us in on little know secrets of our Presidents. Well there is a new book by a different sleazy journalist named Don Fulsom who claims the Tricky Dick Nixon was gay!

His book claims that Nixon was having an affair with Bebre Rebo ISzo and that he was mobbed up and took bribes from the Mafia. Fulsom was the UPI bureau chief during the Nixon administration and has dug up a lot dirt that supposedly shows that Nixon was a drunk, a wife beater, a mobbed up courrpt douche and gay.

When the press gets it for you they never let it go. Guess what? All the Kennedys were mobbed up. Old man Joe was partners with Meyer Lansky and Frank Costello in the thirties. Who fucked around on his wife more than JFK? And who cares if Nixon was gay? Why now? What does it matter?

The only thing worse than a journalist is a lawyer.

Obama is gay. But he is an anti-American muzzie. Not that the press cares about that.

But what is this subject doing over here - if we wanted to read about washed up 60s guys we would be listening to Dylan and hanging around in Madison, fer crap's sake.

It is because I am big fan of Nixon and I hate when they try to muddy him up.

I'm sure it's not your thing, Troop, but Matt Groening's post-"Simpsons" show "Futurama" has all the Presidents featured as heads in jars, as fodder for various jokes. Clinton comes on Leela, and Ford says "Don't mind him, ma'am, he gets this way around meaty women." Or George Washington (or Jefferson?) saying "Thou robots really cracketh me up."

Nixon, on the other hand, has a central role, as he's run for President of Earth and won. And he's a recurring villainous character.

On the commentary, Groening (who is about your age) says something like "I was so mad at Nixon in the '70s! But if I'd known 30 years later I'd still be getting such use out of him..."

The Nixon stuff's hit-and-miss, though. The show has been brilliant but the last episodes I've seen relied heavily on really hacky leftist concepts (environmentalism, evil corporations, women's rights).

A shame, really.

I believe I have touted this book previously, it's called Supermob by Gus Russo. The book chronicles Jewish attorneys for the mob and their hold on politicians, including Nixon. Dick had some degenerate gambler in him and that was their hook. No mention of gayness. But the Jimmy Hoffa pardon was a quid pro quo which included big $.

Are you really a big Nixon fan?

Absoutely. I love my Presidents evil and Republican. It's the only way to go.

This guy Don Fulsom is a total nutjob who's obsessed with Nixon. He's insinuated previously that Nixon was somehow involved in the JFK assassination, using his standard practice of implied guilt through six degrees of separation.

Lately he's been on the American University payroll to teach an entire course about Watergate. The fucker has literally built his career out of his Nixon fantasies.

He used to work for UPI, along with his galpal Helen Thomas. He got his job by being the only guy in DC who'd screw her.

(That last paragraph is sourced about as well as a Don Fulsom story.)

Bebe Rebozo was to Nixon as Rezko is to Obama. Call them...heh heh, financiers.

Nixon sure was high-waisted-he cut a figure just like Christina Hendricks.

Everyone knew Nixon was "Gay" back in the 50s, 60s, and 70s. Even Alger Hiss knew it.

But the Press kept it a secret, cause they all liked him. That's how it was back then, Nixon being Gay, JFK banging Mob chicks, Ben Bradlee sucking JFK's dick, Teddy Kennedy sucking Hoover's dick, LJB and his beagles.

Its good we didn't know the truth.

Except for that bit about JFK banging Mob chicks and being high on drugs for back pain.

That might have been useful information in November 1960.

Lincoln good.
Gay good.
Nixon bad.

And that's why this story has no legs even if it's true.
