Bush bans "divorced" Camilla from White House Visit /Charles Welcome!
Charles & Camilla Caught As Bush Gay Marriage Attack Spreads To Heteros
by Peter Moore 365Gay.com London Bureau

Posted: February 21, 2005 12:01 am. ET


(London) The Bush Administration's attacks on same-sex marriage have now been expanded to include unmarried heterosexuals and divorced people - resulting on a ban of Camilla Parker Bowles from the White House.

The Administration is pushing its traditional marriage initiative aimed at keeping straight families from breaking up and banning gay marriage.

London's Sunday Sun reports that the White House has scuttled plans by Prince Charles to take Camilla on a Royal tour of the US later this year after they marry in a civil ceremony.

The Sun reports that the Royal household was told that Camilla, who will have the title Her Royal Highness Princess Consort after Charles becomes king, is not welcome at the White House because she is a divorcee.

3. But the Rush Limbaugh variance is still in place
As is the exception for Newt Gingrich, Bob Dole, the ghost of Ronald Reagan, and so on and so forth.

6. Sad times when one doesn't know anymore what's satire and what not.
Could this really be? Somebody assure me that it isn't. Am I making a laughing stock out of myself by half believing it?

If it WERE true it'd be great though, make sure and keep up the good work. *g* Schröder and Fischer have been divorced numerous times. Snub the whole world and make sure it hurts them. The sooner they'll finally decide to do something against the Bushistas.

*timidly asks* But it isn't true, right?

-----------------------------

Remember Fallujah

Bush to the Hague!

11. I'm not sure either
Someone else posted this over the weekend with a link to an English paper. I have a hard time believing it's true. :shrug:

7. Wow.
I wonder if there is some other reason and Camilla's divorce is just the excuse.

13. Divorced MEN are just fine!
It's those wicked, evil, divorced women who must be shunned! But any MAN of ANY KIND is welcomed in the Bush WH! "If you can swing it, you can bring it!" is the new BushCO motto...

20. Well, hey, everyone knows a lot of those divorced women are loose...
... almost as loose as a lot of those married men!

Letting Camilla visit would just be too great a temptation for Junior. :7

12. I kind of doubt this story
I think that Americans don't really like Camilla - we liked Diana. And Diana died so horribly, and with her muslim/arab lover. It's all very uncomfortable - I bet the Brits themselves decided that it's better if he comes alone.

Half the repuke congressional delegation is divorced as was Ronald Reagan. Nope, this one just doesn't sound legit.

19. Here's what Buzzflash says about the article:
Apparently, This is NOT Satire. "Charles & Camilla Caught As Bush Gay Marriage Attack Spreads To Heteros." Bush Won't Allow Them in White House, British Paper Reports. Nuestro Presidente is Muy Loco! Que Lastima por Los Estados Unidos! 2/21

22. Let's start with Reagan, a divorcee.
Keep naming them until the page gets too long.

My next name is Newt Gingrich.
(you add the rest).

25. Considering the rumors that have spread about BOTH Chuck & Junior recently
Maybe they just didn't want Camilla getting in the way of their friendly game of "hide the sausage"?? :evilgrin:

29. OMG! I'd forgotten about Charles being discovered by Diana in bed with
who was it? A footman or something... It was a huge scandal. In all the Bush stuff it's hard to remember. But, yes there was alot of speculation about Charles.

Then there's Bush's stuff about using the same "toothpaste" as Blair...when Blair first visited at Camp David. "Looking into Putin's eyes"...and now he resents Camilla....

26. The Sun newspaper is not a reliable source
I am not saying that this is not true, just advocating caution. What IS interesting, though, is that the Sun (which has a huge circulation within the UK) is a Murdoch newspaper, and one perhaps should look beyond this story. Eg what will be the reaction of the readers? Well, Camilla is still perceived as the person who broke up the marriage of the Prince and Princess of Wales. So this may be just part of a Camilla-bashing season, in the run-up to her marriage to Prince Charles on 8 April. And it will make Bush's White House look stupid, too, because of Prince Charles being also divorced. I don't know if the Sun has a campaign to make the White House look like pompous hypocrits - I don't read this paper.

27. Perhaps they should be banning half to three quarters of the right-wing
Administration and cronies then as well. Poor Rush and Newt, both have had multiple divorces, I guess no more WH access for them either.

What a bunch of outrageous hypocrites.

28. what a load of crap
Not that I can imagine why Charles would WANT to visit Bush, but...

How many members of the Cabinet and the Republican-led Congress would have to be banned?

hypocrite. (not that that's news)

31. It's because she's a Woman...RW Repug fundies don't like women
unless their pregnant or at home. That's why he could get away with it.

32. I thought Charles hated GWB and was none too shy about saying
so. Why would Charles be welcome and not Camilla?

Poor Camilla, she's going to miss out on some ass kickin' BBQ :eyes:

along with Rudy Giuliani, Newt, Bernie Kerik, John Warner, Michael Reagan, Rush, and on, and on, and on.

38. wholly unreliable source
the Sun :puke: is, aside from being a vile, xenophobic right-wing idiot rag, an outstanding example of Murdoch news values. This is probably therefore a total fiction. (In the UK, Bush is seen as so stupid and dangerous that even the RW press mock and attack him.)
Mind you, nothing would surprise...

40. I don't care much about Camilla but what type of world does GWB
really think he lives in? Is he going to burn those of us who are divorced, remarried, shacking up at the stake to cleanse the morals of this country? That's ok with me as long as he throws himself, Rove and the rest of the cocksucking hypocrites he runs with into the flames with us sinners.
