I, for one, think Gannon should be commended for being the first member of the press corps to come out of the closet about being a whore. Hopefully, they'll all begin to realize that they can be open about being for sale, and the healing can begin.

This story must not be allowed to die and must be forced on the MSM. It is the kind of sensationalism that voyeuristic American's can't help themselves from peeking at which makes it easy to sustain once it takes root in the MSM. It is the perfect opportunity to pry the lid off the cauldron of corruption that is at the heart of this administration. We know the story doesn't end with Gannon/Guckert. Remember Deep Throat's advice "follow the money" and for this case "the sex". It will ultimately unfold.

Yeah, I think it's pretty clear that "Gannon" was/is Karl Rove's gay lover. It's only a matter of time before it makes the papers.

The story here is the use of a fake reporter as a tool to disperse propaganda to the American public. He could be as right wing as anybody and that would not matter...it is the fact he was a White House plant used to con the public that should outrage everyone. The mere fact that every "legit" reported in the WH press corp knew this guy was a plant and didn't rat him out.......well,clearly there is more than one whore in the WH press corps.

At least we'll know that JJGG's client(s)/friend(s) are just big bottoms...

Why hasn't the SCLM really reported on this story? Simple. They all have prostitute reporters in the White House Press Corps whoring themselves for the Bush Administration every day. As Roseanne once said: People in glass whorehouses shouldn't throw stones...

[/snark]

Rove's escort? Why not Bush's? Who gets to fly on AFO and go to Crawford?

Perhaps Toby could confirm Steve's claim? Toby?

1. Blackmail. (? McClellan most likely blackmail-e??? but, see 4.)

2. Blackmail probably did not stop with White House access and Plame documents.

3. The MSM has been too quiet. Threats applied?

4. The BIG story is still out there.

The MSM has been too quiet

Maybe Gannon had more 'butt buddies' (literal and figurative) than we really want to know about.

There is definately a fire where this pole is smoking.

Why, indeed.

We're talking about the same media that daily snickered along with Bush's and the RNC's "Frenchy pants girly man" sneers about Kerry with gusto throughout the 2004 campaign.

The same press that didn't raise an eyebrow when sapphic porn writing Lynn Cheney -- who was all for keeping her gay daughter off stage while the cameras were clicking -- went on a photo op crying jag when that bad Mr. Kerry called professional gay activist Mary Cheney ::gasp:: a lesbian. (I wonder what the Bush base calls her.)

This is the same press that didn't question the "moral values" Mandate crowd giving cover to Rep. Dreier, [Ed?] Gurley, Ken Mehlman, possibly Scott McClellan, etc. while playing to the gay-bashing sensibilities of the base.

Then again, it's the same press that made a military hero out of a codpiece wearing AWOL war deserter chickenhawk while simultaneously suggesting that his decorated combat veteran opponent intentionally injured himself thirty years ago for political gain now.

If we want to fix democracy, we need to fix the media first. Fix 'em good.

Well, I just spent the last two hours sending a letter to CBS, NBC, MSNBC, ABC, New York Times, etc. on why this story is not being investigated much less reported. If you have the time, it might be good for others to write also. Keep the pressure on.

Given the current coplacancy of the MSM, if 'the revolution'-televised or not, happens the 'fourth estate' would be on the side of the Bourbons.

There are so many sites to look for instead of listening to any news stations. I found 2 today that have different topics but none were good news. I am putting some copy/ paste to get you to save the second one (2) in your favorite, as it is impossible to read all of it in one day. We all have children and grand children and if you expect the state will protect them, think again. I did knew about a young father that came back from the first Gulf war and died after all the Gulf war syndromes. But if you think you are safe in America and only should be afraid from the terrorists! Your military have used all of us to test their chemical warfare. I can now hear “the Rights living dead” coming at me now. Let be intelligent for once. The military would not use the same amount that Saddam did! Use a little amount and see if people get sick??????????
1)When conservatives talk of George W.

Oral polio vaccines contain live viruses that can cause polio and are being replaced with a killed-virus version.

The MMR vaccine has been a suspected cause of autism for more than a decade. The rotavirus inoculation, a vaccine against usually mild diarrhea, was recalled last year after it was found to cause bowel blockage and collapse in infants

Oh, what I would give to hear Dom DuLuise sing
"Washintions got a whorehouse in it"on the step of the capitol.

Over at Dkos, they have clearly established that Gannon had press entry before "Talon News" was an established "news agency". Interesting twist, isn't it?

NY Times Mo' Dowd has noticed Gannon, and ripped the Bushies a new one!

It's at:

Not stupid. Thanks for the post. I will read, but will probably not be surprised by the information. By-the-way, what ever happened to the anthrax story. Hmmmmm.

Geez, Matt. Please put a warning about not having anything hot (coffee) in hand before reading something like your first post in the thread. Holy Cow, you slay me!

I can only hope there is video of Guckert, dressed as Marilyn, singing "Happy birf-day Mistoo Pwesident..."

The idea that Democrats are hypocritical because they publicize Guckert's private life is ridiculous. They are talking about his professional life, which he advertised very publically. People who really want to maintain their privacy wusually adhere to the minimum standard of keeping their pants on while being photographed for the internet.

Phid, if there are pictures, there are definately videos.

How long you think before we hear dubya say, "I did not have sex with that man!"?

"President Bush on Monday tapped the chairman of his re-election
campaign, Ken Mehlman, to head the Republican Party.

Mehlman, a protege of chief White House strategist Karl Rove, is
Bush's pick to replace party chairman Ed Gillespie who is returning to
the private sector. The Republican National Committee formally selects
the party chair early next year, and Bush's recommendation holds
enormous sway.

"Ken has served the Republican Party and the president with honor and
distinction," said White House press secretary Scott McClellan."

Does Cheney and his bulge know that Mehlman is gay? Could prove to be
more interesting that Bill & Monica. "

Hummm again... what's up with that?

Thanks again for your great work!
