Former Daschle Campaign Spokesman Says Media Was Aware Gannon Had Told Lies About His Identity As Far Back as the Summer of 2003

By ADVOCATE STAFF

You might have thought the strange saga of Jeff Gannon was a recent development, a story whose genesis is not so deep in the murky annals of Washington political history, but, in fact, only about four weeks old, when John Aravosis of America Blog discovered that Gannon has moonlighted as a male escort.

Well, you'd be wrong.

According to Dan Pfeiffer, former spokesman for Tom Daschle--the U.S. Senate Minority Leader until his defeat in the 2004 general election--Jeff Gannon's use of assumed identities was information available to the media as far back as the summer of 2003.

:yourock:

thanks!

:kick:

the guckerts of the world are all in bed together.

and keeps growing.

This is unconscionable-- but sooooo typical.

I'm surprised they haven't written an amendment to the Constitution that states the President is, at all times, above the law.

:puke:

to appoint, all passed and confirmed by his pet Rethug Congress. Amendments take time and work, and he worked hard already stealing the election. Now he's ready to spend some of his political capital that he got from his mandate. No, not THAT Man Date.

What I don't get is why the MSM didn't run with the info on Gannon and get him the hell out of the WH press. Who were they afraid of? Someone BIG.

this poser to have done something - but did, predictably, nothing.

Corporate America runs Washington and calls the shots on what's printed in the msm. It's that simple.

They don't throw people in jail for speaking their minds--they fire them. And of course, all of this is "perfectly legal".

I believed all along that the press had to know. As "nosy" as their profession is, there would have had to have been a natural curiosity. But to become aware, however so, and to not do anything is outrageous.

Thank you so much for your investigation, congratulations on getting results and much appreciation for sharing them with us. The public may believe the king has no clothes. But to know why is priceless.

damn

you guys are great :yourock:

this guy.

What he was, his role, was obvious to all for 2 years.

They were complicit.

to expose all the wannabees.

kind of makes your head explode.

in bribes to support this administration.

In fact, considering how controlling this administration is about protecting its dirty business, how much bribe money in general has factored into the $7,689,935,780,269.27 deficit?

The White House has gotten away with dismissing the tough questions and charging on in spite of pressing concerns over ethics and propriety and Constitutionality.

This can only go on so long. Eventually, even the most ardent supporters are going to want their curiosity satisfied.

Boy, are people going to be pissed.....


:headbang: Great work!

with what Daschle knew about Gannon.

The more the microscope is trained on 'Gannon' the more this reeks of direct WH/RNC connections.

Well done, NA!

Now, I have one question for Gannon: Why did this idiot email the Daschle headquarters with the SAME email of his aol website?:crazy: It takes a mere minute to get a free email account. Or did he not care if he was found out OR he knew they (the white house) knew about him so he figured 'what the hell'.

Nashua is correct. This REEKS!

People who are really smart and capable typically do not wind up in the fields of prostitution or organized crime like Gannon/Guckert or Rove.

I've never been able to figure out why, if Rove wanted to plant a Republican operative as a fake reporter, he would choose a loose cannon like Gannon.

There are plenty of reasonably presentable, reasonably intelligent young Republicans out there who would slit their wrists to be where Gannon was.

The only thing I can think of is it must be love.

ask the mob. You always get people who can be manipulated because of their private lives and who can be discarded or dismissed because of those same sordid private lives.

he's just a wannabe and now is a laughing stock ... and the sad part is he really thinks Rove likes him. Once Rove is finished using him he'll throw him to the wayside like so many others. This is where his REAL stupidity comes in.

I think this part may just be that he isn't very internet savvy.

It supports what we alrady know about Gannon, (yawn) and makes Daschle's people look like they tried to lose...

Am I missing something?

nobody listened.

It was then, more than a year and a half ago, that Pfeiffer received an e-mail from someone claiming to be a citizen of South Dakota, wanting to know the Daschle campaign's reaction to a story by "Jeff Gannon."

is that this story is probably just scratching the surface of what is going on between the government and the media.

I get the feeling we're in a quarry and there's a snake under EVERY rock.

Nice work, Nashua. It appears you have become the free press.

we're in the Texas badlands. I don't doubt the snakes part, though.

Tony Norman at the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette...who has been on this...

By the way,

FUCK YOU George W. Bush

Just sayin'...

His articles are fantastic. I've called and e-mailed him also.

I mean, where would you start!

but I still feel dissapointed when I see things like this.

It is further proof that the MSM is not engaged so much in true journalism as in some form of science .... because they can take hard facts and turn them into soft shit instantly. "Scatology" has been applied to both the study of the digestive tract and to the collecting of "dirty" literature; it now defines the White House press/cess pool.

Unbelievable, but at the same time very believable.

Great job!! :bounce:

and a few more "you rock"s for Nashua Advocate

This happens in many professions. Doctors cover for doctors, lawyers for lawyers, cops for cops, CEO's for CEO's and obviously, Whores for Whores. The MSM no longer even makes a veiled attempt at reporting unbiased news. They are all whores and are just covering for one, or many, of their own.

f*cking worthless media :grr:

Eberle told the New York Times last week that he rarely monitored Guckert's White House work. "Jeff did his thing. I did my thing,"

He's lying. What about all those messages to and about Gannon on freakrepublic?

Let's hope the rest of the media has even 1/10 of a sniff of the integrity your paper has.

:kick:

not only will the media not cover the real stories that are important, but they will go out of their way to prevent anyone else from covering the news.
