Morning Rumors

Far be it from me to spread unconfirmed rumors, but then they wouldn't be rumors if they weren't unconfirmed, now would they?

The Weekly World News, that bastion of journalistic integrity, has a nice article about Dick Cheney's previous job experience.

Most Americans are very familiar with Vice President Dick Cheney's distinguished career as a businessman and public servant -- but much less familiar with his work as a nude artist's model!

Before entering politics, Cheney put himself through college at the University of Wyoming by dropping his drawers for several local artists and sculptors.

And then, they go on about some other folks too.

Cheney is the latest among a string of Washington politicians with unusual backgrounds. According to reliable inside sources, California Senator Barbara Boxer earned extra cash jumping out of cakes at bachelor parties. Massachusetts Senator Ted Kennedy worked one summer as a male escort, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice was the cover girl three times for Black Booty magazine, and First Lady Laura Bush worked briefly as a "fluffer," -- a woman whose job it is to keep male adult film stars in a continual state of arousal.

Laura Bush, a fluffer??? I'm having a little trouble picturing that. But then again, maybe that's why Georgy liked her so much. Since he was on so many drugs back then, I can only guess his potency was adversely affected. Perhaps Laura had the magic touch or the right words or actions to get and keep the future leader of the free world's, uh, um, 'little soldier' standing at attention.
