Newt Draws Fire

Then there is the frolicking in the woods.
Miss Dowd noted that Mr. Gingrich would spend the weekend at the Bohemian Grove, ``the exclusive men's club in northern California. . . . The camp is a saturnalia of juvenilia, with a lot of old white rich guys running around naked and in sheets, costumed as Druids. They drink dawn-to-dusk gin fizzes, relieve themselves on redwoods, and put on theatricals where they dress up like women.''
Well yes, but if you are playing the part of a woman in a theatrical, what should you dress like? Miss Dowd might as well have written that she doesn't understand why the people in the Metropolitan Opera chorus go around clutching spears.
About five years ago, CBS's Leslie Stahl did an interview with me about women joining the Century Association. A few minutes into the discussion she interrupted herself. ``Would you be willing to talk about the Bohemian Club?''
Well, I said, it isn't something we're supposed to talk about. . . .
``Well,'' Miss Stahl pressed, ``what about this business of going around naked?''
I lowered my voice. ``In the years I've been going to the Bohemian Club,'' I whispered, ``I have seen men naked only in the shower, and now I'll tell you something in confidence.'' Her eyes hungered for my revelation. The camera whirred. ``The Admissions Committee of the Bohemian Grove does not like to admit to membership people who shower with their clothes on.'' Miss Stahl simply smiled, gamely.
Then why are you so angry to find out that Newt is a member?
Where did anyone on this tread accuse the CFR or Bohemian Club of being vile?
Not on this thread that I noticed but they are common themes here.
I just refuse to wet my pants over something as innocuous as the CFR while the Marxist in the White House is doing his best to follow the Cloward-Piven strategy for bringing my country to its knees. I simply try and keep things in perspective while maintaining my sense of proportion.
You can now go back to destroying all the people who would stop that process.
Angry?
Its sarcasm...read my tagline vato mio
I am quite proud to say I am a dedicated, practicing member of the great American institution Buildacheeseburgers.
Some people think there is a right-wing elite defending us from the left-wing elite. Others think there is only a unified establishment preying upon the rest of us.
William F. Buckley, Jr. appears to confirm that Gingrich attended the Bohemian Grove. (post 82 on this thread)
And then some people don't think at all.
Whaddyagonnado?
Actually Ms. Dowd makes the charge he attended, Buckley just made a joke about it, neither confirming nor denying it.
Actually Buckley attempted to defend Gingrich by defending the Bohemian practice of dressing up like women, with which Dowd had linked Gingrich as a Bohemian. If Gingrich did not attend, Buckley would not have had to bring up Bohemian practices in order to defend Gingrich—not that there is anything wrong with attending Bohemian Grove or dressing up like a woman.
LOL!
Oh, you think you are in trouble - I mistyped “sublime” as “sulime”.
There will be entire web pages discussing the heretofor unheard of degree of a “Sulime Master Mason”.
Sigh.
I heard that discussions on the creation of the Federal Reserve involved bankers. Can you believe it?
I just thought it was an exotic flavor of Mason. I assumed they wore a green Fez.
He's also a member of the Council on Foreign Relations.
I'm not sure any of that matters, though.
