So tell us--did Hoover ever get it on with Hoover? Inquiring minds want
to know!

I suppose it would be too much to ask for a cite?

Other famous homosexuals: W.H. "Boss" Hoover, the vacuum cleaner
magnate; Larry Hoover, of the Gangsta Disciples; and Dr. E. S. Hoover,
inventer of prioritized telephone switching, who is clearly a
cross-dresser if you've ever seen a picture.

To clarify, this is referring to J. Edgar Hoover, not Herbert Hoover.

What, you've never noticed the subtext in the translation of "De Re

Sure; the evidence for *President* Hoover's cross-dressing is irrefutable.

You thought you were kidding, but see his reply to that. You can't
parody a true kook; he's already done the job himself, better than
anyone else ever could.

Yes.

Terry, can you get this guy and Lorr to go after each other?

Should be easy. Let's just quiz him a little about the relationship
between Moses and Joshua, and I'll bet ten shekels that Bjorn
Stronginthearm turns out to be sib to one of your parents.

You are right to be dubious, and my expression was too condensed. I
should have said the extreme Right, or the Right under pressure of
Communism. This is especially true of the Right in Germany, France and
the Low Countries, where religious belief is particularly weak because
of the French Revolution and a high level of education. In eastern
Europe and to some extent in southern Europe the Right still has
important religious links. England is a special case, but now resembles
Germany in this respect. But in imitation of America there is an
evangelical movement there.

Where exactly did you get this idea? I find your analysis of the European
right somewhat dubious, to say the least.

But, of course, Robertson is so universally beloved the tape has been
suppressed, so we are never going to get to hear it.

I find your lack of faith . . . disturbing.

Is he trolling himself? I KF'd him almost immediately, so I have only
seen him in others' replies.
