Norquist's Wedding No official officiation

Some eyebrows were raised last weekend when The Washington Post reported that Rabbi Daniel Lapin had presided over the wedding of conservative activist Grover Norquist and Samah Alrayyes -- since neither of the newlyweds is Jewish.

But a spokesperson for Toward Tradition, the conservative political group Lapin leads, said the Orthodox rabbi merely introduced the couple at a celebration of the nuptials. Norquist and his bride were officially married by a justice of peace prior to the party.

This gets weirder:

Friends In High Places

"Sami Al-Arian isn't the only prominent Muslim leader who posed for chummy pictures with President Bush. Many conservative Republicans are uneasy at the way GOP power broker Grover Norquist curries support from the Muslim community."

"The rumpled, balding figure was spotted darting into the offices of Republican power broker Grover Norquist last July... Sami

Al-Arian emerged more than two hours later... Al-Arian was visiting the Islamic Institute, a Muslim outreach group cofounded by Norquist and housed within his office suite."

"In June 2001, Al-Arian was among members of the American Muslim Council invited to the White House complex for abriefing by Bush political adviser Karl Rove. The next month, the National Coalition to Protect Political Freedom - a civil liberties group headed by Al-Arian - gave Norquist an award for his work to abolish the use of secret intelligence evidence in terrorism cases, a position Bush had adopted in the 2000 campaign."

I bet if you checked it out you'd find that he shut up at exactly the same time the DA grabbed his medical records. I've always thought there was more than dope in there.

LImbaugh wouldn't have been this excited about dope. He could have just pled out the prescription drug charge. The damage wouldn't be increased here even if there was some minor house arrest involved. Limbaugh already had the goobs looking the other way on this one.

I'm thinking there's something in there like an emergency room visit where Limbaugh gets a shot glass extracted from his ass; or some other such dead give away.

Emmett Tyrell was on C-SPAN last week some morning. Apparently the New York Times had reported that Grover Norquist was not at the DeLay testimonial, and Tyrell said this meant nothing, because Norquist was giving a dinner party at his home that evening (as though he couldn't cancel or reschedule it.)

Over the weekend, C-SPAN Radio rebroadcast the testimonial, and I happened to hear one of the speakers announcing that Norquist was one of those present at the dinner. It sounded as if it was at the beginning of the testimonial.

By the way, aren't Gaffney and Norquist supposedly enemies? (Something to do with Norquist's attempted opening to Muslims, as opposed to Gaffney's true-blue anti-Arab neoconservativism.) I wonder if Gaffney could have been pumping Guckert/Gannon for info on Norquist at the testimonial.

Doesn't it seem like when things go to hell, everything turns homo? It was like this with the Nazis, with McArthy, with the Romans, with the Byzantine Empire and everyone else I can think of that went off the rails.

I wonder if organizations tend to silt in this way. A couple of fags get in at the top and then people start blowing their way to success. After a few years you end up with a political party staffed by people who give great blowjobs, but don't know how to run a country.

Karmak sub-contracted JD to manage the office, including accounting, scheduling, etc. When JD gave his notice to Karmak in December 2001, we knew his intention was to work in Washington, DC, however, we did not have any knowledge as to his future employment. JD was a good employee and pleasant to work with. His personal and political life was not discussed at work.

March 8, 2005

Americans for Tax Reform President and formerly confirmed bachelor Grover Norquist is getting married April 2 at an undisclosed location in Virginia. (Gotta keep the paparazzi away, after all.) He and his fiancée, Samah Alrayyes, went to the same high school in Weston, Mass., though they did not become sweethearts until recently. Norquist is 48. Alrayyes, who works for the foreign aid agency USAID, is 31.

Here is something else interesting on Gannon and PA:

Scott Baker, News Anchor, WTAE-Pittsburgh

'I’m the Guy Who Taught Jeff Gannon Everything He Knows About Journalism.' | permalink

I’m the guy who taught Jeff Gannon everything he knows about journalism. Okay maybe not everything. I’m still not clear on (sorry all hyperlinks on this one freak me out) his evident self-description of “Position: Top.” Except that I now gather that it has endangered the nuptial bonds of Julia and Brad. But I suppose I bear some responsibility for having lectured at the two-day journalism seminar Gannon attended.

Just when it seemed like the Gannon/Guckert story was about to fade away for lack of interest (something slightly less than the interest in “Topic A with Tina Brown”), along comes the new Vanity Fair to re-energize the matter when Gannon himself couldn’t even pull an invite

to the White House Correspondents Association dinner.

This is what I get for trying to teach a simple little seminar on media career strategies? Jeff Gannon as my star student? I had more modest goals. Most kids trying to dive into media careers fail miserably. So maybe I can nudge them with a few helpful ideas. Hoped for result: entry level job in, say, a small market television station. Not so hoped for: center square of odd journalism scandal.

The Vanity Fair article calls it a seminar for “aspiring right-wing journalists.” My mantra to the students involves getting rid of the “right-wing” and esteeming the value of solid day-to-day journalism. Good old-fashioned storytelling.

TV commercials for weight loss programs often have tiny disclaimers about the thin person in the ad. “Results not typical.” I’m kind of hoping this is like that. But with my luck Corey Clark will soon be claiming I’m the guru of his love life.

And we come full circle back to FR:

Right-wing activist organizations are, of course, frequently interlinked. But the connections between the Leadership Institute, Free Republic (and its web radio project, Free Republic Network, created by millionaire Domino's Pizza franchisee Bob Johnson), and GOPUSA/Talon News are especially rich and suggestive. In August 2002, for instance, the Leadership Institute offered media training at Friva, the Free Republic in Las Vegas conference. A number of Talon News personalities made regular appearances on Radio Free Republic webcasts; it seems likely that the Leadership Institute offered a pipeline into the Free Republic Network, which itself was meant as a waystation to acceptance in more mainstream media. Jeff Gannon, for that matter, is known to have co-hosted a Radio Free Republic webcast with Chuck Muth, a Republican political consultant and one of the Leadership Institute's most prominent and active educators. And Muth's connections may offer us a path directly to whoever in the White House signed off on Gannon.

Interesting little circle they've got going. I wonder if Strauss is son/grandson of neocon godfather?

Isn't it though? Doing a search for Leo Strauss' descendents particularly named Leo Strauss would be quite a task..

Here are some interesting connections between Abramoff, DeLay and Lapin:

http://www.washingtonjewishweek.com/localstory.php?/wjw2/283229793291885.bsp

Enter Rabbi David Lapin, brother of the Christian Right's favorite Jewish clergyman, Seattle- based Rabbi Daniel Lapin, the man who introduced DeLay to Abramoff in 1994.

David Lapin is chief executive officer of Strategic Business Ethics, Inc. The Los Angeles-based company's Web site describes him as a "consultant to leaders of business and government in many parts of the world ... (who) is recognized as a profound ethicist and strategist." The Web site also pictures a smiling Lapin wearing a kippah. With Abramoff's help, Lapin in 1996 was awarded a $1.2 million contract by the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands to promote "ethics in government." The commonwealth's attorney general, Pam Brown, told The New York Times last week that her staff has yet to figure out what it was Lapin did to fulfill the contract.

Lapin and Abramoff appear joined at the hip in the Marianas case, and two of DeLay's former top aides are also a part of that mix. Interestingly, for a time while Lapin was running his business on the West Coast, he was also running Abramoff's Eshkol Academy on the East Coast, serving as its dean. As investigators mull through the short- lived school's records, it is quite possible that this end of the story will become even more convoluted.

Jack Abramoff's and David Lapin's misdeeds, if any such have occurred, will have been their own, not ours. In the end, however, we as a community will still pay a steep price for it all. If that is not a matter worthy of communal discussion and correction, it is hard to imagine what issue is.

And this: Norquist And Abramoff, Old Friends. Grover Norquist helped run Jack Abramoff's 1981 campaign for National Chairman of the College Republicans and then served as executive director of the organization under Abramoff. Abramoff served as a board member of Americans for Tax Reform (ATR), which was founded by Norquist in 1985. [National Journal, 10/11/03; The Hill, 3/26/03; http://www.atr.org/home/about/index.html]

And this:

Grover Norquist is the President of Americans for Tax Reform. Jack Abramoff and Grover Norquist have known each other since 1980 when they took over the College Republicans together.

Years later Abramoff turned to Norquist to help organize a coalition of anti-tax organizations to lobby against taxes on Indian casinos. Norquist worked with lawmakers and called editorial writers to oppose the legislation. The Choctaw Indian tribe, a client of Jack Abramoff, soon donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to Norquist's organization. (Washington Post, November 8, 2004)

Norquist is on record as saying, in 1995, "What the Republicans need is 50 Jack Abramoffs. Then this becomes a different town." More recently, in 2004, Norquist said, "To this day I can't find anything [Jack Abramoff] did or [is] accused of doing that's illegal, immoral, or fattening." (Weekly Standard, December 12, 2004)

This thread is full of fascinating connections. I'm going to read through it thoroughly as soon as I get a chance.

It's particularly interesting to see the details of freerepublic's connection to all this. And "Jeff Gannon" is still a poster in good standing there, I guess? Amongst all those good anti-homo bible-thumpers, too. How humorously ironic.

Funny, ins't it, the right ignores this story because of the aspersions it casts on it's holie than thou agenda.

The left ignores it because it's uncomfortable with the homosexual aspects of the story.

Aah, BI-partisanship.

When it comes to arseholes and dicks both parties stand united.

This is also how I was able to arrange for Angelwood to attend a speech given by President Bush. It is how we met Jeff Gannon of Talon News, who now hosts a program on Radio FR.

I read this about ten times.

My head is still spinning.

Isn't that the same Jeff Gannon who is the male homosexual prostitute? Now he's hooked up with FR? Things just keep getting stranger and stranger.....

As I've said before, the conservo fundies like to screw in the dark then feel guilty about it.

In fact, if there was no guilt and forbidden "fruit" attached, they probably wouldn't enjoy it.

Once a man has all the wealth, women, cars and dope anyone could ever want what is left but power? And, to truly enjoy that power he must break taboos and get away with it.

I mean, what's the point of being a power hitter if you can't sodomize then murder little boys and girls?

Yes, it's the same Jeff Gannon, and he's been a poster under that name on freerepublic since January, 2003--just about the same time he began his stint in the White House press corps.

Some of the ex-freepers here have even met him.

To me, the presence of this mystery man at FR is proof that FR is in on all this republican manipulation of the media. There's other proof, too, such as the saga of James Steffens (employee of Maryland republican governor Ehrlich) , who posted at FR under the name NCPAC.

Just think, the freepers--the salt of the earth, the only true Christians, the epitome of sensible, moral, Americans--fraternized with this homosexual prostitute and still accept him as one of their own. Freerepublic = Fraudrepublic.
