They actually had the Soviet KGB agents on The History Channel, who made up the thing about J Edgar wearing dresses and being a homosexual. They did it of course because the FBI under him had been the most effective agency in stopping their spying in America.

They were surprised how quickly and easily the media took to it. Even today most people think it is true and no one in the media will tell the truth.

Damned, yarddog. My stock in “The Dress Barn” just tanked after your posting.

Thanks for the truth.

Sorry, dude. I think it probably was the truth and the Soviets merely took advantage of it.

The reason? Clyde Tolson. Hoover and Tolson ate dinner together every night, went on vacations together, Tolson was the sole beneficiary in Hoover's will, inheriting $550,000 and Hoover's home. He also was "the loved one" who accepted the US flag from Hoover's casket during the burial service.

If that ain't queer, I have some desert property in Des Moines to sell you.
