NYT NEWSROOM TURMOIL OVER PRINCE CHARLES GAY RUMOR

Top editors at the NEW YORK TIMES panicked and ordered a story killed after London-based reporter Sarah Lyall filed a dispatch alleging rumors of Prince Charles and a sexual affair with one of his closest advisers!

The story appeared on the TIMES's internet website for 20 minutes -- before top editors ordered it immediately removed, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.

Have the Brits ever heard of orthodontists and dentists?

[aristeides]

So the story is Prince Charles' gay lover raped another man and the Royal Family is covering it up?

If there is any connection between this stuff and Princess Diana's death, that makes it all much more explosive.

[Revolting cat!]

Who is Charles Gay anyway?

Charles W. "Chuck" Gay Jr., newly named associate vice president of Utah State University Extension

[Bonaparte]

Yes, yes! He first rose to prominence during the days of the Rump Parliament following the War of the Pansies. House of Dork?

[aristeides]

So, did the NYT kill this story because of gay solidarity, or because this sort of thing is not supposed to be reported about people like the British royals?

[Cicero]

Hot poker.

[ladyinred]

Exactly, and that could be the problem afterall, since all of this is coming out now after it was revealed she made a tape predicting her murder.

[zarf]

What a royal blow to the crown!!

[jimbo123]

The NY Crimes is covering it up because of the issue of gay rape and Royal Family coverup. They refuse to report about Gay rape and they support the coverup of such behavior.

[rintense]

THAT'S CENSORSHIP!!!!

/sarcasm

I don't know much about the Earl of Doncaster. But there was the famous case of the Earl of Castlehaven, who had an affair with his butler. He then proceeded to prostitute his wife and daughter to the butler, in hopes one of them would conceive an heir to the earldom who would be the butler's son. Castlehaven was subsequently tried by the House of Lords and executed, I suspect not just for buggery and rape but because he was messing with the bloodlines of the nobility.

The case was significant because the Earl was related to the Earl of Bridgewater, whose accession as Lord President of Wales is celebrated in Milton's "Comus."

[Revolting cat!]

How did the alleged lover boy penetrate the Buckingham Palace? He came through the back entrance, I presume?!

[Billthedrill]

Yeh...executions these days are so unimaginative...

[mseltzer]

Have you heard? His favorite thing for lunch is placing a very hot weiner between two warm buns. I believe he enjoys it with a glass of liqified vaseline, to coat the lining of his throat during the flu season.

[Lucy Lake]

Aack! What are they saying about me?

What they're really saying is why don't you see a dentist more often.

[Cicero]

Picture now on the Drudge website. It reminds me of Queen Victoria's famous saying: "We are not amused."

[Incorrigible]

Dang! Post number 3! Perfect placement!

LOL!

[Taffini]

his girlfriend looks like a Kennedy in that picture

[aristeides]

The NYT is not succeeding in burying this story. I heard this reported on WMAL radio in D.C. an hour or two ago (I think it was on the WABC news report, which would make the story national.)

In one epsiode the regent, prince George says,"I mean we're British aren't we?" Black Adder says under his breath, ``You're not, you're German.''

And of course:

" I'm as British as Queen Victoria! "

" So your father's German, you're half-German and you married a German? "
