The Tom Miller SCMP award for today's weirdest story goes to Pravda (Where Truth Hurts), who have started spreading the rumor that was picked up by Now TV and broadcasted in Hong Kong.

George and Laura Bush to divorce after election because of Condi Rice? - Pravda.Ru

Italy’s La Repubblica newspaper wrote with reference to The National Examiner tabloid that George and Laura Bush were planning a divorce after the presidential election in the USA.

According to the supermarket tabloid, George and Laura Bush hardly ever speak to each other. George feels very unhappy and does not want Laura to leave him. However, the newspaper wrote, Laura is tired of everything; she is determined to live her own life.

The couple still keeps their relationship alive just because they are contractually obliged to stay together during George W. Bush’s presidency; it is not a matter of feelings at all.

They are both certain that they have rendered a huge service to their country. They pretend that their marriage is still alive in spite of the fact that it was buried long ago. The divorce will be kept a secret until the president retires, the newspaper wrote.

Thanks to Boris for the headsup!

Wayne Madsen, a national security expert, wrote in 2006 that George W. Bush confessed during a session with his psychologist that he was attracted to other women. Bush reportedly named Condoleezza Rice as an object of his fantasies.

Laura Bush soon heard of the rumors. The first lady spent that night in Washington’s May Flower Hotel. Tabloids wrote that Laura Bush had escaped from the White House after an argument with President Bush which happened because of his supposed affair with Condoleezza Rice.

I am no fan of George Bush but the source is hardly credible. If Laura Bush who I have some admiration for could tolerate Bush the drinker in his boozing days, I am sure she can more than live with this moron now. She knew going in he was no Rhodes scholar.

As far as Bush finding other women desirable so did President Jimmy Carter as he related to the Playboy interviewer when he said he "lusted" in his heart and committed adultery in his heart. I guess that was fantasy adultery.

Maybe all that lusting by President Carter was responsible for his seeming lack of vision for the USA throughout his 4 year term of office.

Rhodes scholars prefer cigars !

if the supermarket tabloid sources are that "reliable"..the next thing you know...the CIA should go pick up a few of these tabloids so that they can finally capture Bin Laden

I thought Condoleeza Rice was a lesbian anyway?

This reminds me of a question at the Bulldogs quiz last night.

Who is the only US President to have been divorced? Even with 2 americans on my team we didn't get it correct.

Answers on a postcard please and no googling.

[Trebor]

Yes as that was the answer.
