OK, I'll ask...
Why was a prostitute--posing as a journalist writing under a pseudonym--allowed to visit the White House 200 times (when he was denied a congressional press pass)? Furthermore, why did he frequently visit the White House when there were no scheduled press briefings?

2. Already a thread on it, but the second part is the best question
Why visit the White House when there are no scheduled briefings?

3. He must have had some Teflon clearance because the Secret
Service looks like they just waved him through. :shrug:

6. Beats me....Maybe some Americans should call upon the white house
spend a few hours in the "people's house" Since anyone is allowed dont cha know.

Seems to make Homeland Security and the job of the Secret Service Moot. Allow a prostitute/ questionable "journalist" unlimited access.

7. Why did he visit when there were no press briefings?
It was for the "de-briefings." Bada bum! Seriously, it does appear that Mr. Guckert (or whomever he is) was allowed pretty unrestricted access to the White House and one can only surmise that he had a special friend inside who was arranging this for him. What he did for his special friend (or friends) on those non-press days might have been the reason for the special treatment. I can only hope we all get to know real soon. I hasten to add that I couldn't care less about the "gay" angle on this - but a sex scandal, especially of the homosexual variety, would sure put the old bullshit meter on tilt in light of all the recent "moral values" hewie-spewie from these hypocrites. Please God, let it be Rove!

Clearly, he was doing someone in the WH

11. Sure looks that way. And for all the hell these bastards have put
the GLBT community through for all these years, I want that somebody to be busted big time.
