That’s the theory and story over at Raw Story, under the headline:

Is Bush a sadist, or does he just need a Queer Eye?

Here at The Locust Fork, named after a river in a decidedly red state, we have no idea if this theory holds water or not. But there is certainly something strange going on in the Bush White House.

We suspect there’s more moral corruption going on behind those white-washed walls than anything Bill Clinton could dream up with his interns. Only the Bushes have a long history of finding ways of preventing those with damaging information about them from talking. Check Kitty Kelly’s book on the Bush family for more details on that.

We know it’s true from all the paid off and dead witnesses we encountered trying to nail down the details of the Bush AWOL story.

We suspect there is a gay male prostitute in Washington who knows as much or more about what’s really going on in there than even James Guckert/Jeff Gannon, who shilled for the Bush administration with daily White House press passes for two years.

He’s obviously not talking about everything he knows, trying to make the transition to TV personality at FOX News.

If anyone reading this happens to be in possession of the video from the Lincoln bedroom, please get in touch. We will help make you rich and famous - queer eye or not.

Over at Jay Rosen’s blog Press Think today, there is a continuation of the debate about the death of the daily newspaper, under the headline:

Laying the Newspaper Gently Down to Die

My question is, if the newspaper dies, will democracy die with it? Or will we in the blogosphere be able to create a new platform to save it?

I don’t know the answer, but I’m willing to consider the alternatives and work to solve the problem. To save anything resembling democracy, we must have people willing to stand on the wall and ask questions, to do the tough reporting and write stories people will read, including TV reporters. Most of the masses get their news from TV, not newspapers or blogs.

Reporting takes the kind of resources only big news companies had in the past (read lots of money).

I’m no rich guy, so I need work from the mainstream press to survive to blog another day. That is our current dilemma.

Any thoughts?
