CHICAGO -- What did the White House know and when did it know it on the question of the kinky bald guy with the stinky Web sites who got to pose as a "daily pass" reporter in the White House press corps?

He got to help the White House wiggle out of unpleasant moments by asking questions worthy of a doofus, which drew the attention of the blogosphere, which shifted into "high proctology" mode in a recent hot pursuit of the caper.

Bingo, another media incident explodes.

Well, good for the bloggers.

That is pretty awesome. It not only continues the Gannon story, but the 1st hand account he recounts that he went through as a reporter at a Bush rally in Michigan and the fact that they would not let him wander around a single minute without a Republican Kool Aider escort (no pun intended) at his side, just adds more light to the ridiculous responses that Scott Mclellan has given us about the Gannon situation.
