LOL. Jeff Gannon thinks we want to get rid of him.
"Unfortunately, at the conclusion of the event, an activist created such a spectacle that I left the room immediately with security. Otherwise, I would have remained to talk to members of the press. As I was boarding an elevator to exit the building, this same person made a dash for me with unknown intent. I have been informed that he subsequently had an altercation with a member of building security and has been banned from the premises. If you saw this person's behavior, you would realize that the threats against my person, property and family have not been exaggerated."

I'm hurt. He has misunderstood completely. All us liberals have been busting our humps trying to get him as much publicity and media attention as we possibly can, with special emphasis on the "Gannon cannon"; heck, the Daily Show has run the shot with the member in question pixelated at least three times that I can recall... and he thinks we want him to DISAPPEAR?

Where did we go wrong?

2. I think the GOP is breathing down his neck.
He has a clarification on his site about the Armstrong Williams thing.

22. The blogger that dashed for him said that Gannon raised his fist at him.
I'm surprised he didn't have a body guard with him.

4. the phrase "If you saw this person's behavior,"
Edited on Tue Apr-12-05 05:56 AM by Kire
it would not hold up in court for a second

I bet lots of fundie, neo-cons think they know exactly what he's talking about by the way that sentence was used

Edit: innuendo, that's the word

7. Isn't his 15 minutes over yet?
Keeping him in the spotlight is not having the desired effect. Somehow the media and the religious right are OK with having a prostitute in their midst.

8. I can't imagine that if anyone is really harrassing him... that it would
be anyone other than a RW fundie/freeper type. After all, it is their "sensibilities" that have been offended, not ours.

11. harassing him = asking him questions
Jeffy, Jeffy, please, calm down. We love you. DU loves you. We want to get you know you better. Come over here and sit beside me. Someone get Jeffy a cocktail. See all the pretty boys? It's nice here in DUland, isn't it Jeffy? Now tell me all about it, darling. Tell me everything. What did those evil Republicans do to you? Oh they are so wicked! Tell me everything you know, Jeffy. Sit a little closer. Tell me all about it.

14. No, I would like him to stay in the limelight
to point out bogus press passes, propaganda, and hypocrisy. Nope, we want you healthy and visible Mr. Gannon/Guckert.....whatever your name is.

18. "ared by the Left it had to take me down"
Does anyone else see that on gannon's home page? It's supposed to say "So feared by the Left it had to take me down," but the first two words are chopped off.

Nice design.

19. Get rid of him??? Hell, I want him to be W's press secretary
Rove is just half-assing at this point. Let's just cut the bullshit and put Gannon in charge of the press room, openly disclose all payments made to reporters and officially label them as the propagandists that they are. While we're at it, W should have the cajones to stand up and say "yeah, I lied. But I really wanted to go to war in Iraq for personal financial gain and I wasn't about to let you stop me".

We know they're lying. I'm making the wild assumption that they know that we know they are lying. It's time to cut the crap already.
