Bonesman David Richards, now a Manhattan real estate lawyer, was the member who tapped Yale junior George W. Bush in 1967.

Richards tells "Ambushed" author Toby Rogers that the worst thing in the world would be for Bush to be re-elected President.

"I think it's pretty grim, I think he has trashed the economy, and I think he has conducted foreign policy badly, and I think he is a bad President," Richards says. "I don't know what he has done well."

"My personal choice is John Kerry," Richards added, "partly because he has experienced war and has some notion of what it means to send men to die, as he was someone sent to die."

1. A little off topic...

What's a "Bonesman"?

[LoZoccolo]

2. A frat boy from Yale.

And that's about it.

3. Yale's Skull & Bones secret society

Bush and Kerry were both members. They call them bonesmen for short.

I think only 15 people get tapped each year.

5. Richards: "Oops -- I meant to tap him for the BoneHEADS!"

"D'oh!"

Prescott went on to become a senator, and two of his sons, George and Jonathan, became Bonesmen. George took time off from Congress in 1967 to return to campus and to personally tap his son, George W.

6. From what I hear

The only thing little George ever tapped was a keg.

7. Uh Oh...what is this going to do to the conspiracy theories?

I thought the Skull and Bones people were plotting to take over the world, and that they would never denounce one of their own.

Perhaps it is just a silly fraternity consisting of children of advantage after all.

Go figure.

13. well...there is always infighting...

in such organizations. Power struggles and the like. Or so the movie about Skull and Bones (it was actually pretty good) showed.

8. Another example of the ruling class

being uncomfortable with chimpy's performance.

9. Ahhh - the crucial Boner endorsement. How enchanting

Highly classified secret surveys* show that 67% of Skull & Boner members are "dissatisfied" with the performance of Temporary (aka Smirky, Chimpy, and aWol).

This will make a big -- and undoubtedly occult --- difference.

Never could understand why Evangelical Christians are supporting Bush, since he is an occultist Boner, and his Grandpappy Prescott was another Skull and Boner who helped arrange financing for Hitler and the Nazis (a point of proven fact, not a wild assertion).

Go figure.

Election 2004: The Big Choice -- Will you vote for the Skull? Or the Bones?

*Surveys that -- like everything else the BushCo Gang has done -- will not be shown to the tax-paying American public. You do not need to know the source. So shut up and sit down. "Trust us, we are the BushCo Gang, and secrets are our THING."

10. A War within a War...

As time passes, a three dimensional picture emerges. We are the watchers and questioners. The innocent bystanders along with the military who are basically the unwitting pawns of the Skull and Bones. However, The S&B are at war within their own ranks. We are witnessing a Bonesman against Bonesman power struggle, Kerry v Bush.

For now, it appears Kerry is the chosen one obviously because Bush could not deliver on his promises to pnac members. I imagine, as in every other organization, there are good and bad elements comprising the mix. The words good and bad may be too simplistic a descriptive, but for now, bad seems to be the appropriate word synonymous with Bush's tragic attempt at role playing the presidency.

Will Bush go gracefully? I doubt it. Does our future portent being caught up in this power struggle? Hell, yeah.
