Special Bonus Disinfotainment Today

'My Candidate'

By Michael Dare

BUSH'S 'GOP CHALLENGER,'

DETAINED BY U.S. SECRET SERVICE,

DEMANDS CONGRESSIONAL INQUIRY

INTO 'CONSPIRACY OF HARASSMENT'


WASHINGTON, DC - John Buchanan, the Miami Beach journalist who ran as "the truth candidate" against President George W. Bush in the January 27 New Hampshire GOP primary, has issued a formal demand for a Congressional inquiry into his February 4 detention by the U.S. Secret Service at Baltimore-Washington International Airport.

The incident is now being investigated by Republican staffers of the U.S. House Committee on the Judiciary, with whom Buchanan met February 5.

Buchanan, 53, charges in a detailed written presentation to the Judiciary Committee that his two hours of questioning at the airport, as he was en route to speak at The National Press Club last Wednesday evening, were the culmination of a still-unexplained series of false police reports filed against Buchanan between October 19, 2003 and last week as part of what Buchanan claims is "an ongoing program of harassment and political dirty tricks."

Buchanan's deputy campaign manager, Mimi Adams of Albuquerque, NM, agrees that the long-shot candidate is under attack. "His campaign has been sabotaged in every way imaginable, including an inappropriately aggressive interrogation by the Secret Service and a veiled threat to 'go back to Miami' and keep his mouth shut," says Adams, who worked on both Texas gubernatorial campaigns of Ann Richards. "The Bush administration is in for a shock, because John Buchanan won't quit until justice is done. He feels, and I agree, that everything this country has ever stood for is at stake right now."

Last September, Buchanan became the first journalist in U.S. history to see newly declassified government documents, at the U.S. National Archives and Library of Congress, that prove the 27-year history of Nazi collaboration by Prescott Bush, the grandfather of George W. Bush, and George Herbert Walker, his maternal great-grandfather. In October and November, Buchanan published a series of articles in The New Hampshire Gazette, founded in 1756 and the oldest newspaper in America. Those articles can be read online at www.nhgazette.com.

In mid-October, Associated Press (AP) ran a story worldwide that credited Buchanan with his scoop.

On October 19, Miami Beach Police knocked on the reporter's apartment door and questioned him based on a tip he was plotting to kill the President. The next day, Miami Beach detectives appeared at Buchanan's door, this time on a complaint from The Miami Herald that Buchanan might be a "terror suspect" plotting to blow up the Knight-Ridder newspaper's headquarters. Despite a phone complaint by Buchanan to the Washington and Miami offices of the FBI, no action has been taken to look into his allegations.

Miami Beach Police have apparently made no attempt to investigate the sources of the false police complaints, nor has Mayor David Dermer offered any help, according to Buchanan. "He has known me and my work for six years," says Buchanan. "Ever since this drama began when I found the Bush-Nazi documents, Mayor Dermer has been inexplicably silent. He has shown no courage, and is therefore, in my opinion, unfit for office." Buchanan is now calling for Mayor Dermer's resignation or removal from office by the Florida Attorney General.

While Buchanan campaigned for President in New Hampshire last month, the state chair of the New Hampshire GOP, Jayne Millerick, filed a false police report against him for "harassment" - after eyewitnesses including a Buffalo, NY newspaper reporter, a van driver, and two members of Buchanan's campaign team saw her instruct two "thugs" to force him from her Concord office. In turn, Buchanan alleges, Concord Police and the FBI refused to investigate.

But then Buchanan found a powerful ally - former Berlin, NH mayor Richard Bosa, a wealthy international businessman who beat Buchanan by three votes to end in a dead heat for second place in a 14-member Republican field.

"The Bush administration, Karl Rove, the Republican National Committee and the New Hampshire Republican State Committee, led by Jayne Millerick, have obstructed the entire electoral process and broken the law by filing false police reports against Mr. Buchanan and others," says Bosa. "Now they are using the U.S. Secret Service and Baltimore-Washington Airport Police to try to intimidate Mr. Buchanan into silence. It will not work. He is more determined than ever to expose the truth about this administration to the American people and the world."

Bosa says he intends to back Buchanan's demand for a full Congressional inquiry and U.S. Department of Justice investigation of recent events. Bosa has already been interviewed by House Judiciary Committee investigator Thad Bingel, who has also interviewed other key sources such as Buchanan's Deputy Campaign Manager Mimi Adams in New Mexico.

Buchanan spent several hours on Thursday, February 5, with Congressional investigator Bingel and Rob Foster, a senior Republican counsel to the House Judiciary Committee.

Bingel has already begun interviewing key witnesses.

"I feel that I'm in good hands," Buchanan says. "I have finally found honorable Republican public servants who will help ensure that justice is done in the name of the American people, in full public view."

Buchanan says he will make a formal presentation to the judiciary committee by Wednesday. After that, he intends to return to Capitol Hill, along with other key witnesses, before formal hearings are held later this spring.

"My country has been subverted by a gang of criminals who can have me taken off an airplane as a possible assassin," says Buchanan. "History will record that the President was, in fact, assassinated by me, in the name of all honorable Americans - but with truth and the facts, not bullets or violence."

MAC Cosmetics

Christina Aguilera & Missy Elliott

MAC cosmetics has introduced five new representatives — including Christina Aguilera and Missy Elliott — for Viva Glam products that will benefit the MAC AIDS Fund.

All proceeds from Viva Glam V Lipstick and Lipglass will go to the fund, which provides money to organizations that provide care and daily essentials to those afflicted with HIV/AIDS and that offer education, awareness and prevention programs.

Aguilera, Elliott, supermodel Linda Evangelista, Chloe Sevigny and Boy George were introduced at a press conference Wednesday. MAC President John Demsey said they were asked to join the project because they represent the many faces of AIDS patients — "all ages, all races, all sexes."

Over the past 10 years, MAC has raised more than $32 million through the sales of the Viva Glam lipstick collection. Previous spokesmen include Elton John and Mary J. Blige.

Nobel Laureate With An Opinion

Jose Saramago

Nobel Prize winner Jose Saramago said U.S. resident George W. Bush is an "imbecile" for leading the war against Iraq.

The Portuguese novelist, who won the Nobel literature prize in 1998, on Wednesday called the war "stupid, obscene" and said it was "directed by that imbecile named Bush." He added that the White House was more interested in finding water on the planet Mars than fighting poverty. "It is obscene that (someone) could die of hunger," Saramago said.

Saramago was in Mexico City receiving the Isidro Fabela medal from the National Autonomous University's law school.

Reprises Dash to Church for Ad

Dustin Hoffman

Dustin Hoffman reprised his rush to the church in 1967's "The Graduate" for a car commercial in which he stops his daughter's wedding.

The ad being filmed in an east Los Angeles County city (La Verne) is only the second commercial the 66-year-old Hoffman has appeared in, he said Wednesday. It will air in Europe only.

In the final scenes of "The Graduate," Hoffman's breakthrough film, his character, Benjamin Braddock, pulls Katharine Ross' character, Elaine Robinson, from the church as she's getting married. They fight off parents and guests before riding away in a bus.

In the car commercial, directed by Michael Bay ("Pearl Harbor"), Hoffman again rescues the bride, but this time returns to a 2005 Audi.

Calls The Big Lie A Big Lie

Jane Fonda

Actress Jane Fonda hit back at conservatives who released a blurry 1970 picture of her and Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry at an anti-Vietnam war rally, accusing them of trying to undermine Kerry's patriotism.

"The American people have had it with the big lie," Fonda, who called Kerry a Vietnam war hero, told CNN. "Any attempts to link Kerry to me and make him look bad, with that connection, is completely false."

The conservative Internet site NewsMax.com published the picture Monday and The Washington (Moonie) Times ran it prominently on its front page Wednesday with the headline: "Photo of Kerry with Fonda enrages Vietnam veterans."

"How can you impugn, how can you even suggest that a Vietnam veteran like Kerry ... (is not) patriotic? He was a hero there," Fonda said.

"And this is the kind of big lie that's coming out of this current administration that I think the American people are sick of. And I don't think it's going to work," Fonda said.

Radiohead, who were nominated in five categories, took the highly prized Best Album award with "Hail To The Thief" while the band's "There There" single was named Best Video.

Tennessee rock band Kings of Leon scooped the much coveted Best New Band and Best International Band awards after gaining glowing reviews for their album "Youth And Young Manhood."

The Best Single Award went to U.S. rock duo The White Stripes for "7 Nation Army," while the Libertines beat off Coldplay, The Darkness, Muse and Radiohead to be named Best UK Band.

Queens Of The Stone Age won Best Live Band while Kelly Osbourne picked up a "Godlike Genius" award for her father, the heavy metal rocker Ozzy who was too ill to make the ceremony after his serious quad bike accident last December.

Defends Behavior on Stern

Courtney Love

Courtney Love took to the airwaves on the nationally syndicated "Howard Stern Show" this morning Thursday to defend her spate of erratic behavior, the latest example of which was failing to show up for two court hearings the day before in Los Angeles. A bench warrant was issued for her arrest on a felony drug possession charge.

"I didn't show up for court because I didn't have a professional bodyguard," Love told Stern. That echoes the "security concerns" her attorney offered as an explanation to Beverly Hills, Calif., Superior Court Judge Elden Fox, who agreed to hold the arrest order until Tuesday.

In an unscheduled rambling, expletive-laden phone conversation with Stern, Love addressed the charges against her. "I didn't throw any rocks at the window," she said. "I kicked in the door because I didn't have a key. That's the god's truth."

Commenting on charges she faces for possessing the prescription painkillers oxycodone and hydrocodone, she said, "Oxycontin is Percocet without the aspirin in it. I've shattered my hip twice. I certainly do take it under a doctor's guidance. I have serious pain sometimes and it hurts. Let's let the doctors decide."

"My daughter is depressed beyond belief," she said. "Because you know what? She likes me. It is kind of hard when your grandmother goes after your money."

China Drops Curtain Again

'Vagina Monologues'

The Chinese capital has canceled a production of the controversial women's rights play "The Vagina Monologues" just days after the show was called off in cosmopolitan Shanghai, the play's producers said on Thursday.

Confusion over approvals needed and misunderstandings over the aim of sponsors to spread awareness of violence against women in China, rather than to promote sexual permissiveness, led culture authorities to axe it, the head of the gallery staging it said.

The word "vagina" is repeated more than 100 times in the monologues. The slang word for vagina is considered so offensive in China it is usually written as an "X" in print media.

In Original Setting

'Carmen'

Take a world-famous opera whose central character is the sensual gypsy girl Carmen. Place her in the squares and bullring of the southern Spanish city that inspired her tragic tale. Add $28.5 million worth of artists and effects, and offer to an international audience.

This is the recipe for the First Seville International Music Festival, which will begin next September. Organizers hope it will attract some 50,000 lovers of music, spectacle and Spain.

Acts one and two of Carmen will be staged on the Plaza de Espana, near the tobacco factory whose female workers inspired Carmen's famed femme fatale.

Act three will take place a five-minute stroll away, in Maria Luisa Park, which will be transformed into a mountain forest for the occasion.

The final act — performed in Seville's bullring after a two-hour intermission that will give spectators time to dine along the Guadalquivir River before taking carriages to the arena — will bring the opera to its calamitous end.

Karaoke's Cinematic Offspring

Movieoke

Frustrated actors have a new outlet for their creative urges that until now was only available to their singing cousins -- Movieoke, Karaoke's cinematic sibling.

The brainchild of film-fanatic Anastasia Fite, Movieoke is just what it sounds like: a chance for those brave enough to take over from Robert De Niro in his "You talkin' to me?" monologue in "Taxi Driver," or to strut their stuff alongside Ben Stiller in "Zoolander."

Guests select a specific scene from a movie that is then projected onto a big screen, while a monitor in front of them shows the scene along with subtitled dialogue.

The result is either a skillful rendering of the original lines or, more often than not, some sort of goof up that draws laughter from the audience.

NBC to Debut Secret Audio & Videotapes

More than six years after her death, audio and videotapes Princess Diana secretly recorded during her ill-fated marriage to Prince Charles will get their first public airing next month on NBC, the network said on Thursday.

NBC said it would present excerpts of the audio tapes, the principal source for Andrew Morton's 1992 international bestseller "Diana: Her True Story," and separate video footage taken of her during the same period, in a special two-part broadcast set for March 4 and March 11.

The two-hour documentary, titled "Princess Diana: The Secret Tapes," also will feature interviews with some of Diana's closest friends and confidants, NBC said.
