How did "Bloggers" call Gannon's mother and brother?
Edited on Fri Mar-04-05 02:52 AM by Must_B_Free
if we don't even know who he is and where he is from, how did we call his mother and brother? (I presume he's talking about bloggers here)

"GANNON: Well, I mean -- I mean my -- when my mother and my brother and his wife received telephone calls that -- you know, that contained threats and all kinds of terrible things being said about me, it's very disturbing. And that's way over the line. And I needed to put that to an end."

1. The joke here is obvious..
BLITZER: Do you have something already in the works?

GANNON: I've had some people call and make inquiries to see if I had any interest in certain positions.

11. I doubt if the Missionary Position
was among those "positions of interest".

That was "derivative" humor, parasitically leached from the posting above mine.

On edit: I just saw where the one above mine was YOURS. Thanks again.

2. Well I must have missed some thing.
I could call you and say the same thing. I am willing to bet you are in the phone book, so you are also on this thing. Their must also be a list matching names and e-mails.

13. I thought you could find any one you wanted to,
Look how the news lands at peoples homes after any thing happens. Some one knows where you live and can get to you. Type in your phone number on Google and your address and map pops up. Bet you can find a picture of your home if your smart enough to know where to look

5. How about : it's just another lie and nobody really called anybody
That would be my humble guess on this one.

6. As I recall...
They got Jim/Jeff's street address from his WHOIS info. Someone may have matched that to either a phonebook listing or a white pages lookup. I would imagine peeps called that number and got his mom.

19. That would have been damned difficult to do when no one knew his real name
Edited on Fri Mar-04-05 04:26 AM by LynnTheDem
at that time Jiggy's whining about. It wasn't until a week later that bloggers found out his real name.

10. That is my point
this guy is a blank slate. No one has stepped forward to say I knew him. No one knows where he grew up. No one played on his team. No one worked with him. No one dated him.

His history is that of a non-person or perhaps someone in a witness protection program.

14. Well, he Might NOT be a Blank slate
Check out this post in the Iowa Forum, some here,(and now others in Iowa, who have been looking for this long time missing kid John Gosch), are starting to think that Gannon is really Gosch, and some of the posters say that Mrs. Gosch has been contacted.:tinfoilhat:

It could be tinhat, or not. You decide

15. Ari's comment was interesting...
...tonight, Jon asked: "Are there any male escorts in there?" (referring to the press pool that follows Bush around) Ari says: "Only the CIA knows for sure." Now, why would he say that?

20. According to the freepers, Gannon has been "one of us" this whole time
They're saying he was never REALLY a conservative, since he was a gay hooker.

Now, that makes no sense to me.

Aren't all conservatives-- way, deep down inside-- really just repressed homosexual whores?

21. His number was in my local phone book
I could have called him if I wanted to, but it seems the number has been disconnected. He's from Wilmington and up until 2003 he was listed in the phone book

22. Didn't he provide phone numbers on his - uh- "working" websites?
I'm just asking - as I missed the events.
