Dredging Drudge

[Gustaf]

Reminds me of a spoof Scum headline Private Eye made up in the '80's:

The Kinnocks, is it divorce?
No we made it up

spot the ball and win a filipino wife!!

Hah, that's pretty good!

The homosexuals at The Sun

[Gustaf]

I think he meant to write Homophobes...

Oh. That would make more sense.

[Gustaf]

Yeah, Edwards is the only really viable candidate left. Dean might improve if Kerry drops out though, so we would definitely get a race between Dean and Edwards. But Edwards would pull through, I'm pretty sure.

[Gustaf]

Several prominant Nazi's were like that...

Before they killed them all? I recall that Röhmer and a buch of others were killed b/c they had too much power within the NSDAP, but the alledged reason was homosexuality.

[Gustaf]

True... but Streicher (also a paedophile) was executed by the Allies after Nuremburg.

Let's not start talking about Beria and make the evening unpleasant.

[Gustaf]

Beria was cool because he assasinated Stalin with lead poisoning, thus averting WW3. This theory is actually gaining in strength these days among actual historians.

The rumors may very well not be true. I had no reason before this story broke to assume Kerry was a womanizer, very much unlike Clinton, who already had rumors floating about in 1992. If he were forced to drop (unlikely even if he admits to an affair), Edwards is the clear leader among the current candidates, but we must not ignore the possibility of others entering the racein such a situation.

I wouldn't call him cool...I agree that murdering Stalin was a good thing, especially since it saved the Jews of the Soviet Union.
