Laura Bush was arrested for prostitution in 1966?

[troublemaker]

I didn't want to have to make this... er, bring this up. But by making Laura's good qualities a central theme of his Presidential campaign George W. Bush brought this on himself. These allegations deserve a fair and impartial investigation.

A co-worker's brother once knew a guy who used to visit a prostitute in West Virginia in the early 1970s who had an interesting tale to tell. Her name cannot be published here because she fears for her life, but I believe her... or rather, I believe what she told my buddy's brother's friend. It seems that she used to work as a call girl with Laura Welch and at least two other girls in Dallas in 1966 while Laura Welch was enrolled at Southern Methodist University. She said that Laura Welch (who went by 'bunny' professionally) didn't seem as interested in the money as the kicks. Ironically, their "agent" was a guy named Hap Lenworth who had been a bouncer at one of Jack Rudy's Dallas strip clubs before they were closed following Ruby's 1963 arrest for murder. Lenworth had started informally 'promoting' a few of the suddenly unemployed dancers, so Laura Welch's walk on the wild side was one of many odd ripples emanating from the JFK assassination.

The kicker: An influential Washington power-broker has told several associates that George W. Bush's strained relations with his father stem in part from a drunken incident approximately a month before George and Laura's November 5, 1977 wedding when the elder Bush tried to steer his son away from Welch (whom George W. had only know for two months at the time), telling George W. of rumors about Laura's past from a family friend from the oil business had gone on a double date with Laura and another of Hap Lenworth's girls, in 1966.

1. Hee hee

[Old and In the Way]

2. It's a small world.

I dunno, I just don't see Laura being any good at hooking.

[LisaL]

5. Some people have hidden talents.

Not that I believe Laura was a hooker.

[bluestateguy]

3. Now I am not making an accusation, BUT

some people have said these things.

The charges are out there.

These are serious charges.

Mrs. Bush needs to answer these charges to put this disturbing story behind us. Indeed, she owes the American people an explanation.

[LuminousX]

50. she knows the truth, she can answer the questions

her continued silence on this topic does not help her case.

[Feanorcurufinwe]

4. That's what I've heard people say

[newscaster]

16. Sorry guys

but I havent heard anyone talk about this. Its totally new to me.
I tend not to believe it. Its just too convenient.

[Feanorcurufinwe]

22. Well, you've heard it now.

And you would easily be able to pass a lie detector test and say that "people are discussing Laura Bush's prostitution arrests".

You could even sign an affidavit to the effect.

[Terran]

44. Actually, you didn't say anything about an arrest.

That's the part I'm interested in! :) Could you talk about that a bit? You know, so I could pass a lie detector test?

[Feanorcurufinwe]

45. You'd have to read the first post.

[Terran]

46. I did. Just kidding anyway, but

the first post doesn't actually contain a reference to an arrest (as in, where it took place), just that Mrs. Bush, er, whoored herself.

I'm just sayin', the meme would travel further if one discussed where the arrest took place, etc. Enjoy!

[Feanorcurufinwe]

57. Wasn't she arrested twice for prostitution in Dallas in 1966?

Do you know how this fits into the timeframe of her three abortions?

[Terran]

59. Oh, was it three?

I heard some people talking about four...three of which were prior to 1970. She really needs to come clean with this.

[cheezus]

52. it DOES'T MATTER if it's true or not... we're not making any accusations

It's just that some say Laura was a Ho. Now it's up to her to prove that she wasn't (otherwise it's proof that she is).


(in case you're still not getting it, this is another thread making fun of the smearvets / the way the media plays a story)

[rooboy]

6. I KNEW there was something wrong with that woman...

she just looks kinda shifty, you know?

[Old and In the Way]

7. I wonder if this was connected to her late boyfriend's accident?

Was he on to this? Was this a pre-emptive strike by Bunny?

[Sperk]

8. your case seems to be just as solid as the Swift boater's....

I say we start the ad!

[spooky3]

36. I hope the media will give this story the same impartial coverage it gave

the Swifties. For every attempted refutation of it, we'll have a DUer to say they'd heard the same story and "where there's smoke, there's fire" etc.

[merh]

70. Dallas Call Girls for Truth - I serviced the same streets as Bunny!

<dripping sarcasam> :thumbsup:

[Algorem]

84. "Bald Knees Bunny"?I remember her!

[troublemaker]

9. IT'S CONFIRMED!!! Now we have two sources!

The White House has blinked! They have now admitted to substantial parts of the allegations in the published story!

Laura Bush was born on November 4, 1946, in Midland, Texas, to Harold and Jenna Welch. Inspired by her second grade teacher, she earned a bachelor of science degree in education from Southern Methodist University in 1968. She then taught in public schools in Dallas and Houston. In 1973 she earned a master of library science degree from the University of Texas at Austin and worked as a public school librarian in Austin. In 1977 she met and married George Walker Bush. They are the parents of twin daughters, Barbara and Jenna, who are named for their grandmothers.

14. Birthdate makes her a Scorpio.

And we all know what that means.

I'm convinced.

[Mad_Dem_X]

73. Uh...no...what *does* it mean??

As a Scorpio woman I would like to know what you meant by that comment.:shrug:

[rocktivity]

10. This looks like a job for The Not-too-Swift Johns For Truth...

"I did serve with Laura Bush...heh heh..."

:headbang:

[alphafemale]

17. ...or "I was serviced by Laura."

:evilgrin:

[underseasurveyor]

23. ROTFLMAO

Gads that's funny :evilgrin:

[RodneyCK2]

11. Oh Gawd, this is just to funny. Of course the downside to all of this..

is that she gives prostitution a bad name. LOL

[Capn Sunshine]

58. I'll bet she kept her gloves on

They were a gift from her Gramma don't ya know.

[grytpype]

12. She worked a Mexican brothel...

... on the border. It was frequented by long-distance truckers without too many pesos.

[MisterGamut]

13. From the best little whorehouse in Texas

to the best little White House in DC. Thank goodness we aren't talking about the first first-lady Bsuh.

[Old and In the Way]

18. Any connection with Salem bin Ladin's plane crash in Houston?

I'm just saying.....

[troublemaker]

20. Funny you should mention that...

The weirdest datum I know that is actually true -- that hapless woman who designed the Butterfly Ballot used to be a 'hostess' for Saudi chartered flights.

[aquart]

64. Theresa le Porous?

[maine_raptor]

21. How do you think they got rid of her pimp's little Black Book n/t

[lanparty]

19. Isn't manslaughter enough????

Geez, you'd think that killing her ex-boyfriend with a car would be enough to hurt someone's reputation.

[0rganism]

24. Really? So that's how those Deep Throat rumors got started!

All along, I thought it was Linda Lovelace in '72...

[Warren DeMontague]

25. I have heard allegations that George Bush Eats Poo

I'm not saying he does.. I am only commenting on allegations that others have apparently made. Certain people have questioned whether or not it might be worth, at the very least, investigating if GEORGE BUSH EATS POO IN CHURCH..

Just to find out, mind you.

[LibertyorDeath]

26. No reasonable person could doubt it

:)

[girl gone mad]

27. I am willing to sign a sworn affadavit.

I was there and I saw everything that happened*. I am an alumnnus of SMU and went to school with Laura Welch**.

*"I was there and I saw everything that happened" means that even though I was not yet born during the time that these events transpired, I just now read what troublemaker wrote and agree with it whole-heartedly.

**By "I am an alumnnus of SMU and went to school with Laura Welch", I mean that I live in the Dallas Area and several friends and acquaintances of mine have attended SMU, at least one of whom was an actual classmate of hers.

[DeepModem Mom]

28. If Rove worked for us, Laura's driving would be the issue that defined her

in the mind of the public. Seriously -- imagine if Hillary Clinton had had such a driving record.

[JSJ]

29. if she was a pro, she had to have been an over-priced one n/t

[Seabiscuit]

30. We've already seen numerous threads and articles

linking GHW Bush as a CIA agent to knowledge of Oslwald and the JFK assassination.

The same guys and their offspring and colleagues and corporate and government interests who were responsible for JFK's assassination are now squatters in the White House.

Think about it. The connections are frightening and appalling.

You think Wellstone's plane crash was an "accident"?

You think JFK Jr.'s plane crash was an "accident"?

These bastards are ruthless killers.

[elehhhhna]

32. She didn't get those smoker's lips from cigarettes...

31. So, that's how she met Georgie.

He probably married her just to piss off Poppy and Mommy.

33. I Don't Like Any Of The Bushes But There's Hope For The Twins...

I see the point of your satire but I think this attack goes beyond the pale.....

[DemBones DemBones]

35. Can you say

"satire"? ;-)

[DemocratSinceBirth]

37. It's Not Funny....

I identified it as satire....


It's not funny...



Bush is a major league asshole but we debase ourselves when he diss the Simian-In Chief's wife....

[asthmaticeog]

49. Rubbish.

She's campaigning for him, so it's open season. The twins, too. We should Hillary the lot of 'em. This is a culture war, and they defined the terms of engagement. Time for them to get theirs.

[Ilsa]

81. You wouldn't believe the ugliness they are

trying to dig up on Theresa H. Kerry. I think she's fair game since she is actively campaigning for him.

[aquart]

65. If you believe there's hope for the twins......

Well, you are one of the world's great optimists.

[ShootingStarr4u]

34. "Laura Bush was arrested for prostitution in 1966?"

This sounds like some wild fish tale. It's full of obvious inaccuracies. I would assume as a setup to make Dems look stupid or liars.

However, saying that, I want to remind everyone that Laura Welch Bush killed her boyfriend allegedly in a drunken rage when she ran a stop sign and rammed his car during an argument. At the very least she should ahve been charged with negligence, DWI, possible vehicular manslaughter, or even vehicular homocide. The problem is she was 17, and in those days, juveniles got a free pass for even murder. Like I said, she should have been charged with negligence.

If you want to see some really explosive stuff, check out my blog at lindastarr.us and get a real eyefull of what is about to break out on GWB's TNG AWOL service. I've heard from several major tv and print mainstream media forums. Dunno how it will turn out, but I've directed their efforts to get the two page disciplinary report and GWB's DD214 that'll tell the true story.

[Keirsey]

39. the satire is great!

I can always count on getting my first laugh of the day from the wonderful writings of the people of DU.

The other laughs come from reading freeper posts. ;)

[AmerDem]

43. doesn't seem like your blog is too current.

you asked to visit your blog and check out "get a real eyefull of what is about to break". Well, your last post was dated for the 19th today is the 24th, what gives?

[Padraig18]

38. "...by making Laura's good qualities a central theme...."

When did the Emperor of Crawford ever do that? This is the kind of disgusting crap the Republicans do, and it sickens me. Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn...

:puke:

[DemocratSinceBirth]

40. I'm Not A Big Fan Of Any Of The Bushes Including Laura

and yes they are "using" her in the campaign but there is a line that has been crossed...


I don't find this attack funny....

[Feanorcurufinwe]

41. So you can

vote no in my poll

[Cheswick2.0]

42. Women and prostitution is the best you could come up with?

I see what you are doing and it would be funny if you hadn't chosen her sexual behavior to hit her with. Women are either Saints or whores even now, even on liberal web sites.

[NewYorkerfromMass]

47. I think George W. is a big enought target himself alone

we don't need to go after his simpleton wife as well.

[troublemaker]

68. It's not about sex. It's about being straight with the American people!

Seriously, though... I have no objection to consensual prostitution or drug use, and I certainly don't object to anyone's consensual sexual activities. For those reasons I find that kind of vice smear particularly vile.

I am dismayed by the sexist tone of some replies but I stand by my own posts.

I would have no trouble voting for a former prostitute. I would have voted for Cicciolina for the Italian parliament. But all Republicans would find it indefensible, if true.

It just wouldn't make much sense for a satire of Republican smears to be MORE enlightened than real smears.

[Cheswick2.0]

75. Protitution is not a victimless crime, but lets not go into that.

That's another thread.
You choice of scandals is telling. There are a whole list of other things you could have smeared her with and you chose this. It is sexist and you don't even know it.

[NV1962]

48. Her left or right buttock won a Snortgasboard Excellence Award!

I'm not sure which one as it's been a while since I read about that fact, but apparently one was a very popular coke sniffing platter. If I remember correctly, that cheek was busted during a drugs raid, the other was released on bail.

[CaptainClark23]

51. I was a prostitute in Dallas....

and Bunny did NOT legitimately earn her knee-pads. Then she had the temerity to toss them over the fence one night down at Central Booking.

[PurityOfEssence]

53. Time to form "Fast Women for the Truth"

There certainly is a "marriage of convenience" aspect to their union, and it's been posited before that her having a little skeleton in her closet (or on her hood) was good, because Junior needed a wife who wouldn't embarrass everyone by turning on him, and he was a known lout and wastrel.

Of course, it's supremely impractical even if true: there are only two months to the election and this would certainly be taken as a brutish move even if done by surrogates. Besides, I don't know how much of a skunk she is--besides benefitting from the evil of her in-laws--and I think it'll be just fine to let her lapse into the darkness of untouchable status after Junior is seen for the nothing he is.

[PhuLoi]

63. 'Fast Women for the Truth' BWHAAAAHAAA!

*snort* Sweet. Best laugh of the week. BTW, having taken Satire as part of my undergrad lit prereqs, I truely have an appreciation for good satire, which this is.

[Zuni]

76. LOL---We could take a page from the GOP tactics book

I am sure we could buy some old hag Texas Whore some crack and costume jewelry and she would say anything.
It wouldn't be much different from the kind of garbage that Richard Mellon Scaife and the Arkansas Project, The Clinton Chronicles or that 'Unlimited Acsess' book have done to the Clintons.

[WI_DEM]

54. if there is any truth in this, Kitty Kelley's book should have somehtng

on it as it would be right up her alley.

[WI_DEM]

56. P.S. does this mean we start referring to her as "Bunny" not "Pickles"?

[Trajan]

55. The more you denigrate Laura ...

The more I love her ...

60. "Why won't Laura deny the charges" nt

66. What will we tell the children?

Hey. They are the ones that brought up the family values thingy.

[FredScuttle]

67. Bob Dole: "There must be some truth to these charges"

Dole was quoted on CNN today saying "I mean, these can't all be Democratic liars, can they? There must be some truth in the charge that our First Lady was a back-alley cocksucker in the mid-60's"

Why is that?

The American people deserve to know the answers.

74. Hmm, and I was born in December of '66

maybe I was really adopted?

77. This is terrific satire. It really speaks to the times we live in.

Sorry so many around here don't "get" it.

Thanks for the (many) laughs.

[StrongbadTehAwesome]

78. Please - this reads like the Six Steps to Kevin Bacon game

"A co-worker's brother once knew a guy..."

[chimpymustgo]

79. This is funny stuff.

nt

[Feanorcurufinwe]

80. I heard it differently - she was arresting for RUNNING A PROSTITUTION RING

When I heard this story repeated recently, a new wrinkle was introduced -- although she started as a worker, she eventually worked her way up to management, and finally bought the business from her pimp. By the time she was arrested, she'd fired all the female hookers and was running a male-only service.

I'm not sure which story is true, but I think for a woman to climb the job ladder like that and end up as management is a feminist success story, even if it was an illegal business.

[AmerDem]

82. I heard Pickles could suck a golf ball thru a garden hose!

[gardenista]

83. I see what you're trying to do, but I don't think the content is funny.

Too bad you couldn't have come up with a way to satirize the Swift Boat Liars without being sexist at the same time. Try again. There's plenty of good material out there.

[Algorem]

85. This could be curtains for the Bush White House.

They're draped in corruptitude.
