Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs

Mob hit man Robert Mormando stunned a Brooklyn judge Monday when he renounced his membership in La Cosa Nostra and acknowledged he was gay. "That's the first time I've heard this in court," Federal Judge Jack Weinstein said of the mobster's renunciation of his blood oath. Mormando, 44, was being sentenced for participating in the shooting of Queens bagel store owner Angelo Mugnolo, who was wounded in the driveway of his Howard Beach home in 2003. Mormando became a government informant shortly after the shooting. He did not have have to testify against accomplices Vincent Gotti, his nephew Richard Gotti and Angelo Ruggiero Jr., because they pleaded guilty to murder conspiracy charges last year.

There are quicker ways of committing suicide...

No Shit!

Talk about a scene straight out of the Sopranos.

Any fan of the show remembers what happened to Vito Spadafore when he came out of the closet.


A riva derci, Vito.

The link between organized crime rackets and gays is nothing new. Just winess Conressman Barney's escort service out of his Washington office.

This article make anyone think of that episode of the Sopranos where the one mob guy gets seen out with a gay guy andthen goes on the run fer life and is eventually killed?

That was a good one.

~Diebold

LOL.

Yer such a lying sack of shit.

Barney Frank had a live in lover who was a male prostitute. He continued to operate out of Frank's apartment unbeknownst to Frank till he got caught and kicked out by Frank.

From this you get that Frank ran an escort seervice out of his Washingtion office?

Yer considerable hatred fer gay folks has seriously unhinged yer mind.

You make baby Jesus cry.

K?

Be Well.

Spud, remember you're talking to the same idiot who thinks the Crusades were not a campaign of genocide.

Expect the unexpected.

I'll buy that Frank did not know his boyfriend was a prostitute, but the Crusades were NOT a campaign of genocide (I've got a Master's Degree for teaching history).

Last season of the Sopranos one of the crew came out of the closet. Can't remember if he got whacked (in the mob sense) or not.

"...being sentenced for participating in the shooting of Queens bagel store owner..."

I've never understood what the Mob's problem is with the gays in its midst.

You want a recruit who values masculine virtues, you can't do much better than a gay guy.

No, the fact that you drag Franks unhappy affair around like it's worth something makes it absolutely rtardly. He never ran a prostitution ring. However, it does appear that "prostitution" is the operative word:

In 2003, Gannon was reportedly given access by White House staff to a classified State Department Bureau of Intelligence and Research memorandum regarding a CIA meeting involving the dispatch of former U.S. ambassador Joseph Wilson to Niger to investigate claims, which turned out to be false, that Iraq had attempted to procure yellowcake uranium from the West African country. The Wilson case ultimately led to a leak to the media by unnamed White House staff of Wilson's wife's name and identity as a covert CIA agent.

It was also revealed that Jeffgannon.com had been registered by the same Delaware-based company that had registered other Republican-oriented web sites along with those catering to pornographic military gay themes and male escort services.

TalonNews.com and GOPUSA.com are both registered to Endeavor Media Group LLC, operating from Post Office Box 891354 in Houston, Texas. The phone number provided is 999-999-9999. The registrant for a series of web sites, including Jeffgannon.com, Theconservativeguy.com, Exposejessejackson.com, Militaryescorts.com, militaryescortsm4m.com, and hotmilitarystud.com is Bedrock Corporation of 4001 Kennett Pike in Wilmington, Delaware. Bedrock is owned by Jim Guckert, the apparent real identity of Jeff Gannon. The administrative contact for Bedrock was listed as "J. Daniels," possibly another alias. After the Gannon story broke, militaryescorts.com and hotmilitarystud.com were redirected to a secure log-in site at Cupertino, California-based www.dividezero.net which was registered to GKG.Net, which had a contact email in College Station, Texas, the home of Texas A&M University and the George H.W. Bush presidential library. Dividezero.net had a secure log-in window but no subscription information. Experts who track illegal content on the web, including child pornography, report that such sites are common where log-in information is provided separately by regular mail so that the identities of subscribers cannot be easily tracked by on-line enrolment and entry of credit card information.

Gannongate is reminiscent of a huge political scandal that surfaced in Nebraska in 1989 when it was learned that Lawrence King, the head of Franklin Community Credit Union in Omaha and a rising African American star in the GOP (he sang the national anthem at George H. W. Bush's 1988 nominating convention in New Orleans), was a kingpin, along with top Republicans in Nebraska and Washington, DC, including George H. W. Bush, in a child prostitution and pedophilia scandal. King was later convicted and jailed for fraud but pedophile and prostitution charges were never brought against him and other Nebraska Republican businessmen and politicians.

The scandal, investigated by Nebraska State Senator Loran Schmit, his assistant John DeCamp (a former GOP State Senator), State Senate Committee investigator Gary Caradori, and former CIA Director William Colby, reached the very top echelons of the George H. W. Bush administration and GOP. Child prostitutes from Boys Town and other orphanages in Nebraska as well as children procured from China were reportedly flown to Washington for sexcapades with Republican politicians. GOP lobbyist Craig Spence and a number of GOP officials in the administration and Congress were implicated in the scandal, including Labor Secretary Elizabeth Dole's liaison to the White House. Young male members of the military in Washington, DC were particularly sought after by the prostitution ring. During the early 1980s, a number of naval officers were implicated in a child pornography ring that extended from Oregon to the San Francisco Bay area and to Chicago and Washington, DC. The story about that ring was covered up by then-Secretary of the Navy John Lehman.

The Nebraska pedophile scandal was similarly covered up on orders from the highest levels of power in the Bush White House. Caradori and his young son were killed in a suspicious plane crash in Illinois in 1990. Colby was found floating dead in the Chesapeake Bay, near his home, in 1996. Craig Spence allegedly committed suicide in 1989. Witnesses, many of whom were abused themselves, were intimidated and subsequently jailed in Nebraska and the investigation of the pedophile scandal eventually collapsed. The entire military aspect of the King-Spence scandal is now being repeated in Washington in Gannongate.

redlight, you make the mistake of thinking I feel any sympathy for republican perverts. I am a Democrat, although I am fast thinking I ought to re-register without party affiliation.
I pick on Barney because he is "the conscience" among liberal/socialists now that Teddy hit Hades. What a sham! Barney is a jaded clown who might as well have been Bush's main man in setting up the mortgage scam.

I did not equate any wording that would describe "feelings" from you. If that is what you have read, then I will endeavor to be clearer regarding this. I merely point out that you dog Frank with the most incorrect, horrific lie possibly in the entire Republican black bible/Rules of Acquisition.

Nobody related to the bailout is chaste from gross financial gain other than a very, very few. Christopher Dodd preserved AIG's executives bonus payoffs and should be scrutinized. Frank is for setting salary and bonus limits due to this entirely different form of prostitution.

I guess no one thought about his mob name of "Greasy Tony" being a gay one...

You forgot to flip your wrist, phobe.

Whore,
Why do you pant-pissers equate a joke with fear? Do you really think anyone that makes an Italian or Irish joke fears Italians or Irish, or are you just a stupid fuck that immediately uses that lame liberal tactic?
No need to answer, whore.

Redlight, Barney was THE force behind requiring banks to offer subprime home loans. That is not innocence. It was the biggest cause of all this mess.
And yes, I do think having a gay male prostitute as a boyfriend who continues to turn tricks from one's congressional office is sort of worse than the republican toe-tapper. These people show terrible critical thinking skills to say the least. Barney should have been thrown out of office years ago.

"Whore,

But I will, Chairbound. Indeed I will.

I made my comment because Timex's comment was part of the crap that gays deal with daily - the stereotypes. A lot of people equate gays with limp-wristed, lisping, effeminate men whom, they feel should be pitied when they're not being beaten up by "real" men.

The truth is that gays come in all shapes, sizes and degrees of masculine behavior, just like straight guys do. I used to live in Marietta, GA, down the street from two gay guys no one dared mess with - they were both well over six feet tall, built like brick shithouses and obviously well-supplied with testosterone. Even those who didn't like "those people" being in the neighborhood (Marietta is remarkably red even for the red state of Georgia) had to accord them respect.

And there was the matter of their conduct - they took a house that had been the community eyesore (a rental with an absentee landlord) and made it the best-maintained house in the area. They volunteered for neighborhood watches. They were always ready to help older neighbors with yard tasks. They saw a car cruising through the area for a couple of days in a row, right at the time school buses were letting kids out, and took pictures and called the cops, with the result that a pedo on the sex offender registry was caught violating the terms of his release and put back where he belonged.

They could both cook like Julia Child on a good day, and they could work on their own trucks, and they could sing like angels and they knew how to handle a chain saw. They were men, real men, and anyone who says anything was "wrong" with them because they loved each other is full of shit. They were one hell of a lot healthier and saner than the straight guys in the area who collapsed in front of the TV to watch Glenn Beck, and sports they were absolutely incapable of playing themselves, and pigged out on fast food and cheated on their wives at every opportunity.

Along with a lot of other folks, I'd much rather know people like those two guys than people like you, Chairbound, and I suspect you're in some anguish that merely being a card-carrying member of the Pussy Posse isn't good enough any more.


That's a lot of explaining when only a few words were needed.
You go to the "phobe" card because you are a humorless spinster that can't fathom somebody is making a joke as opposed to fearful.

Timex is a leftwing fruit, just like you. Had you known that, I'm sure your knee wouldn't have jerked so hard, whore.

Chairbound:

You're pretty hopeless, you know that?

"Humorless spinster." "Leftwing fruit." "Whore."

You can't have any kind of discussion without resorting to name-calling, can you? You just finish taking Rush 101 at your red-state community college or something?

You chose your handle, whore. Not me.

You are "humorless", so focus on that and less on the spinster, ok? You're also a leftwing fruit.

Crying about name calling after knee-jerkingly calling somebody a "phobe" for cracking a joke is pretty fucking ironic, don't ya think, whore?

You're not worth talking to. Consider the discussion closed.

Yeah, the irony usually shuts you humorless, name-calling, spinsters up.
Take care, whore.

Tudeski, sorry.

You have obviously read some of 101 Airheads postage before.

The guy is all about cracking offensive jokes.

If his head ever had an independent or inteligible idea it would surely explode.

Luckily or unluckily as one might look at it, there doesn't seem to be even a remote chance of that ever happening.

He's basically the Retort's answer to Andrew Dice Clay except less urbane and witty.

Just mere coincidence how the names "mOntecOre" and "MTWhore" sound so very similar?

But, mOntecOre, don't worry about hiding 'cause you're in a safe place here, darlin'.

No need for you to worry. LOL

Jesus Horatio Christ - what is this, National Limbaugh Week, where if you express support or sympathy for anyone, you must be part of that group?

The level of discourse around here was never what you'd call lofty, but things have sunk to a new low lately. Daily Kos is looking better and better to me.

Take that retard, Woke with you.

Whore,
You caught shit for being a knee-jerk tool. You caught even more shit for being a humorless knee-jerk tool for crying about name calling while name calling.
Don't rationalize why you were made fun of. Accept the criticism and move on, Spinster.

No worries, CC. Like I told you, I don't care who knows that you sent me those pictures of your beav. And your offer to pay to fix my seared eyeballs was touching, but unnecessary because I have insurance.

Dear Folks:

Would someone please refer Chairbound to #31? Seems he didn't read it.

Whore,
You don't want to discuss it, and the reason "why" is nicely summed up in post #32.
You're stewing over the fact you got nailed to the wall, aren't you, whore?

I'm detecting a lot of LOL in this sector.

I NW flagged your beautifully-put post. Personally, I tend to view all people as bisexual capable. That doesn't mean that everyone will act on their potential interest, but when opportunities are conducive to a healthy introspection we can really understand our inter-personal motivations and influences.

Military adopting fundamentalist religion is mainly to blame for separating us all. I suppose they believe it produces a better, less-cognoscente "killer". Perhaps they are right.
