From the Ashes Rises The Liar, The Whore

You have got to be kidding me. The completely disgraced and irrelevant Jeff/Jim Gannon/Guckert has popped back up today and seems to have added borderline personality traits to his resume because he has clearly become detached from reality while he was gone. There he was again today on jeffgannon.com playing the victim and the hero of the right, while completely ignoring what had transpired and recreating history in the process. Luckily, there is that annoying thing known as a public record we can rely on to debunk this male hooker turned faux journalist.

In his “current column”, entitled “Fear and Loathing in the Press Room” we have multiple lies and misstatements which require some analysis. I would be remiss if I did not point out that Jeff/Jim could not even be original in the title of his new column, ripping off the recently deceased Hunter Thompson, a man who would not tolerate such a parasite as Jeff/Jim.

(snip)

Going through his “column” we see (Jeff/Jim’s words in italics, followed by my commentary):

“During my tenure I developed some good friends there who welcomed the refreshing perspective I brought to the briefings and respected my courage for asking the questions that I did.”

Courage? Courage to ask the questions that he did? Let’s take a look at the courageous questions that Jeff/Jim asked when he was pretending to be a journalist.

He's doing fine right now keeping himself in the news, but we should give him all the help we can. If he insists on shooting himself in the foot, we wouldn't want him to run out of ammunition.

we take our eye off the ball. And the ball keeps getting bigger and bigger. Condi's military boots have also come under scrutiny and that is another distraction from the real problem--Shrub and his administration.

not going away.

I don't think he equates to Condi's boots at all.

Maybe some day he'll get over himself.

It's a great read which takes down Gannon/Guckert's self-aggrandizing arguments one-by-one.....

I strongly recommend this to everybody interested in the issue.

I am deeply disturbed by this guy's efforts to resurrect himself as some sort of right-wing martyr/hero/savior.......

He needs to be exposed (sorry 'bout the term) for what he is...

btw: He claimes that his SSN was printed on the web...is that true?

Apparently in response to my article, Talon News has removed the resume of Jeff Gannon from their website, which was linked in my article. I am happy that they agree that pretending to 'graduate' from a 2 day seminar is misleading at best and more than likely, just an outright lie. However, just in case you want to see the saved screenshot, a reader of mine was kind enough to email me the url. Jeff Gannon's 'missing' resume from the Talon News site can now be seen here:

I would like to thank the reader who sent me the link and alerted me. Talon News also deserves thanks for wishing to distance themselves from this abuse of the truth.

did you catch this?

Jeff is a graduate of the Pennsylvania State University System and holds a Bachelor of Science in Education.

did he ever teach anywhere? Did he teach while he was advertising his "escort" services?

I read that his bio stated he was a High School teacher in Pennsylvania. Boys wrestling coach.

B.

anybody know WHERE in Pennsylvania?

Is it verified?

Maybe I recalled something that was more rumor than fact

Here is his bio (cached)from Talon:
