A parade of Lincoln Town Cars has been ferrying back and forth to Monte Rio the
last couple of weeks, bringing notables up to Bohemian Grove for the summer encampment.
This weekend, Colin Powell, a full-fledged member of the Bay Area Power Elite
now that he is a partner at Kleiner, Perkins, Caufield & Byers, heads up to
the grove to camp out with the guys who run the world. … Last week, former
CIA insider and retired Admiral Bobby Inman told the Bohos that the U.S. will
have to stay in Iraq another 10 years before we can accomplish anything there.
No one liked hearing that. Sen. Bill Frist gave one of the Lakeside Talks — a kind of keynote speech
given soberly in midday. The lads were unimpressed for the most part by Frist's
ruminations on the state of it all, but the Bohemians seemed downright unnerved
by the close of his speech. He went completely religious. Now many of the Grovesters
are God-fearing gents, but lakeside it doesn't do to wear your piety on your
polo shirt, which is what the gentleman from Tennessee did. Too much. …
Clarence Thomas was also much in evidence at the grove; he didn't overly opine
about the Supreme Court, except to advise that he likes Judge John Roberts.
That's nice. San
