Both President Bushes and a Secret Society

Robbins invitation to Scull and Bones must have gotten lost in the mail, this has got to account for her petulance and ‘need to know’ about the little club. Ron Rosenbaum’s remark...” “We're supposed to do things out in the open in America...” certainly doesn’t target secrecy where it really counts like Hillary Clinton’s behind closed doors health care of the early ‘90s or what she is up to now. Mr. Rosenbaum’s obsession is not likely to shake the members out of the Yale trees, no matter how successful some of the members have become. Jealously is hardly a reason to give this story ink.

By the way, Geronimo is safely tucked in a grave in Oklahoma under cement. What a silly little story.

I will add "order of the arrow", from the BSA to your fine group. No, I did not get invited.

[Samwise]

Dean Vernon Wormer: I've got their disciplinary files right here. Who dropped a whole truckload of fizzies into the swim meet? Who delivered the medical school cadavers to the alumni dinner? Every Halloween, the trees are filled with underwear. Every spring, the toilets explode.

Greg Marmalard: You're talking about Delta, sir.

[JoeGar]

CBS is "reaching" when they need to do a hit piece on a fraternity.

[TigersEye]

CBS has to "reach", they're a good two foot short of relevant.

<< .... if its anonymous, how do we or anyone know its being done ... ? >>

You do not -- but the parties involved know -- and God knows.

And insofar as Anonymity matters -- that's all that matters.

Relax.

You probably cannot meet me, except by my invitation, for a luncheon at my club, too. And there is also very little you can do to change that.

And for you both:

[With apologies to GBS and to Lerner and Lowe]

"There'll be spring every year without you.
And my Lodge will be here without you.
There'll be fruit on the tree.
And a shore by the sea.
There'll be crumpets and tea without you.

"Art and music will thrive without you.
Somehow Keats will survive without you.
And there still will be rain on that plain down in Spain,
even that will remain without you.
We can do without you.

"They can still rule with land without you.
Skull and Bones still will stand without you.
And without much ado, we can all muddle through, without you.

"Without your pulling it, the tide comes in
Without your twirling it, the earth can spin
Without your pushing them, the clouds roll by and,
If they can do without you, ducky, so can I.

"We shall not feel alone without you
We can stand on our own without you
So go back in your shell
We can do bloody well
Without You!"

I thought President Bush quit being a "bonesman" after he met Lara and stopped drinking?

[Brian Allen]

<< ...... I've got their disciplinary files right here.

Who dropped a whole truckload of fizzies into Belgrade's kindergarten swim meet?

Who delivered the medical corps cadavers to the Chinese Embassy?

Every Halloween, the trees are filled with the underwear stolen from his political patron's rape victims.

Every spring, the Branch Davidians' toilets explode.

Greg Marmalard: You're talking about Delta, sir. >>

Arkansas KKKlark, the pathetic perfumed prince's, Delta?

The one that mass-murdered the Reverend Koresh and his family and a hundred or so of Reverend Koresh's friends, students and parishioners?

That Delta?

[Grampa Dave]

Oh WOW! This has to be a disaster for GW now that this secret is out! (Massive Sarcasm Now Off!)

Sounds like the Wilson/Plameout or Yellowcake Scam II has petered out and the rats are really hardup now.

[Redleg Duke]

Where are the Viking Kittens when you really need them?

This calls for a ZOT!

[Redleg Duke]

"Besides, I thought it was the Masons that ruled the world."

We do...we do! (Sinister laugh)

November, 2004:
President Bush on the Road to Victory ...

[JohnGalt]

While its true that only social losers are in these 'secret clubs', John Kerry is also a bonesman.

[sushiman]

" actor Fred Gwynn '51 (Herman Munster) "

Fred Gwynn graduated from Harvard ?

[ravingnutter]

Bush actually preferred Delta Kappa Epsilon (DKE) over Skull & Bones. He became President of DKE. Bush also has never attended a Yale reunion since he graduated.

George W. Bush's Journey

And So's Your Old Man Why isn't George W. more like his dad?

[OXENinFLA]

Like this news is new, heck the HISTORY channel did a whole hour on the S&B. And yes they did mention that both Bushes were members.

[isom35]
