1. At this point the guy would say anything if he was paid to say it
He is out on the street with a huge tax bill and no prospects.

2. Well, David Brock is smart
Gannon is a Freeper. I'll go with no.

3. Right.
Brock was a liberal to begin with who was seduced by the dark side due to some bad college experiences. He snapped out of it and redeemed himself. From what I've see of Gannondorf, I don't think there's been any conscience there from the start.

4. Why does he owe so much in taxes anyway?
All I have heard is that he owes taxes but I haven't heard why. Does anyone know?

5. No.
He hasn't got the integrity of a David Brock.

6. Brock Was Also A Real Journalist
Went to a real college, got a real 4-year degree.

It's taken me years to completely trust Brock...even today with Media Matters thanks to his work with the American Expectorate. Even then he was very low key...I never heard him interviewed on shows and he surely didn't taunt people to try to find out about him.

Gunkert is definitely a self-promoter...riding "Jeff Gannon" for all he can. IMHO, I think he believes there's a separation between "Gannon" and his Gunkert (most people with full aliases feel this way) and that he can hide as Gunkert if this "Gannon" game blows up (which it is).

I'll bet "Gannon" has already booked an agent and is negotiating the "tell all" deal...and the checkbooks are starting to come out.

7. I think someone should point it out to him
We need him more than they do, for the "inside story" factor. He may well know things we'd like to.

8. Gannon's got about 1/2 the IQ of Brock

9. Not to repeat the obvious but -- WE'RE TALKING ABOUT A GAY MALE PROSTITUTE
Any whoring Brock did was with tinkling on his keyboard ... not tinkling with his pee pee!

Man look where * has brought the country!

HOW DO I 'SPLAIN TO THE CHILDREN WHAT "8+CUT" MEANS!?!?!?!?!?!?

At least with clinton I didn't have to tell the kids about hot man on man love (or 'wrestling')...

If Ma and Pa *-voter ends up NOT rejecting *, we'll know the true legacy of this administration: Whipping up people's emotions so much that people fully invested in a hatred position, can't 'keep it up' without the contstant reminders of an election, and are willing to let it slide, even though, according to their programmed feelings, its the worst scenario they could imagine...

10. After reading Howie's column in the WaPo, no. He is now a
Christian with no blame. His sins are "forgotten," and we are to blame, Clinton is to blame, the $35 Gap blue dress is to blame, the liberal press is to blame, the internet(s) are to blame, the dastardly bloggers are to blame, those liberals are to blame, Dean is to blame, Kerry is to blame yadda, yadda, yadda, blah, blah, blah.
