With the hurricane, what's going on in Russia, and what's going on (apparently) at LAX, I think coverage of this might be a bit subdued.
I thought they were trying to smear Bush....withcraft, co-habitation with someone "special", male hookers, sexual activity with minors...isn't this the Democratic party base?
The question is not if, but how much time 60 mintes will give her?
What--no Trilateralist Commission?
The difference between Kitty Kelley and the old biddy neighbourhood gossip is that Kitty Kelley gets paid hefty publishers' advances to peddle her trash.
Yawn
Good grief are these folks blind. Mrs Reagan will go down in history as the woman who genuinely loved and unstintingly supported the greatest President of our age. Of course Dowd, Kelley and the rest of this self-loathing nihilistic crowd wouldn't know love and support if it hit them across the face with a dead fish.
Kitty Kelly is a whack job
Allegations in "other Web source" are so scuzzy, they'll only interest the Jerry Springer crowd, every single one of whom is a Kerry voter. If they believe the Bush's are child abusers and witches, they may vote Repub.
But Kitty Kelley does make quite a spash with her books, lots of publicity, interviews, all that stuff. It could be damaging. But we have PLENTY of dirt to throw at Kerry, above and beyond his Vietnam lies. I happen to KNOW JK went after underage girls in Boston and DC. I'm sure ahout the underage thing, but come to think of it, it may be boys too. His predatory sexual tendencies are necessarily common knowledge on the Beltway. Release of Kelley's book slamming Bush could shiver the timbers of the Kerry campaign, as they'd fear much more damning retaliatory revelations.
There is what I call bash Bush fatigue. Just another Michael Moore scandal sheet filled with inuendo.
I expect a back lash against this hate Bush stuff.
Oh! I hope that this book gets released ASAP. This will create just the backlash we need against the Democrats and the MSM to ensure smooth-sailing into November.
Kitty Kelly's reputation proceeds her :)
What is the other web source?

Kitty Kelley Penning 'Coup de Grace' for Bush Dynasty?
Richard Clarke, Bob Woodward and indefatigable privacy maven Joe Wilson have had their shot at torpedoing President Bush's re-election. Now it's Kitty Kelley's turn, with her book "The Family: The Real Story of the Bush Dynasty" due out just after Labor Day.
Described by one media fan as "a fastidious fact-checker with an unrivaled knack for zingers such as stories of coathanger abortions," Kelley is said to have "Karl Rove's head swimming" with her latest screed.
Her last political hit piece, a 1991 bio of Nancy Reagan, purported to reveal a so-called affair with Frank Sinatra.
After the New York Times front-paged the improbable tale, Timeswoman Maureen Dowd defended her coverage thusly:
"Of course, the book is tawdry. Of course the book is, in some spots, loosely sourced and over the top. ... Of course, there are mistakes in it. ... The point, however, is that Kelley's portrait is not essentially untrue."
I have to give credit to Larry King for refusing to have her on. Kelley is just a female Larry Flynt/Michael Moore. May they all sink in their own muck.
120 minutes, 180 minutes, 240 minutes... whatever it takes :-)
Im going to need a second source from any author named 'Kitty..'
His arse.
Didn't I mention that the Dems would try to smear Bush as a closet queen? As a matter of fact, I did that this morning.
I am nothing if not clairvoyant.
Kelly's role in all this is simple: sell books.
Barbara Bush as a practicing witch? That's actually stranger than the Gay charge.
Be Seeing You,
Chris
