Rumors

A BUZZFLASH RUMOR ANALYSIS

As any BuzzFlash reader knows, we may be irreverent, but we avoid posting rumors. There's enough immorality, hypocrisy, adultery, war profiteering, lawbreaking, graft, lying, bribery and other nefarious Republican activity to cover that we don't need to troll the gutter for RUMORS.

However, for the first time since we have been online since May of 2000, we have received reports from numerous CREDIBLE sources that a "role model" GOP Governor who touts the sanctity of marriage is about to be served with divorce papers.

Furthermore, this particular governor, should the rumor prove to be true is allegedly being divorced for sexual hijinks that would make the GOP appear to be hypocrites extraordinaire (as if there were any doubt) on both the monogamous marriage issue (i.e., adultery) and the issue of homosexuality.

One more thing, again if this rumor proves true, let us just say it will be a major embarrassment to George W. Bush, Mr. Hypocrisy himself. That is not because Bush has anything whatever to do with the alleged incident and alleged pending divorce suit (and we mean that). It is for reasons that will quickly become apparent should this rumor move to the divorce filing stage.

The rumor further has it that the alleged governor is working furiously to convince his spouse not to file divorce papers in return for who knows what.

But in hearing this rumor, which again -- and we're being honest here -- does not in any way directly involve George W. Bush, we are, however, reminded of his strange exchange that Bush had with the aide of the Canadian Prime Minister ("Bush Tells Canadian Prime Minister's Scott that He has a Prettier Face Than Bush's Scott: We Are Not Making This Up!"):

The President chuckled. "Well, you got a pretty face," he told the surprised Mr. Reid. He wasn't done. "You got a pretty face," he said again. "You're a good-looking guy. Better looking than my Scott anyway."

That gives the flavor of the rumor involving this governor and what would be hypocrisy of the most extreme sort, were it to be revealed as true.

But for the moment, all we can say is that this story is: 1) developing; 2) being covered up; or 3) not true.

But because rumors are just that -- rumors -- we aren't printing any names. Unlike the slimesters on the other side, we don't want to peddle in personal slander.
