NEW YORK Tonight's the night many (OK, at least a few) have been waiting for: The news personality formerly known as James D. Guckert takes a lie detector test -- on national TV, no less.

The man with the checkered, male escort, past rode to fame recently as White House correspondent for GOPUSA and Talon News, tossing softball questions at press briefings and then taking a hike. Tonight at 8 p.m on widely available cable channel PAX, Gannon will appear on the show "Lie Detector," hosted by Rolonda ("Inside Edition") Watts. Gannon confirms this on his own Web site.

The gimmick for the show, as described on the PAX Web site: "This provocative and often surprising series examines the truth behind real-life stories ripped from the headlines, using the most powerful instrument to detect deception -- the polygraph."

Among the questions Gannon will experience strapped to the machine: Was he fed questions by the Bush administration to use as talking points at White House briefings or was he "just a man trying to overcome his past and pursue a career as a journalist?"

I took one once and lied my ass off and I passed with flying colors.

in court. GOOD LIERS are very capable of looking good.

As they are not admissable.

Polygraphs are notoriously unreliable and there is NO way they'll show him lying. This has to be rigged.

:shrug:

I can hear the freepers now... "He passed the polygraph"

:boring:

by anyone who does a small amount of research. How is PAX going to justify having questions about homosexual sex and prostitution on their stations? Aren't they all about "family" programming?

Polygraph testing does nothing but intimidate the victim. Operators are sorely mistaken if they believe they can tell truth from lies by watching the needle.

It's probably going to be nothing. Big deal indeed (not).

smokin' hot mandate (*) and his mama (Noreen) looking on?

Lie detectors are unreliable... The "results" are up to the interpitation of the administrator.

See Anti-Polygraph.org and learn how to pass one.

They have to be one answers, only. Otherwise the reading is indecipherable.

I had to take 3 of them for a place I used to work. I told the truth on the first one and they thought I lied (it was a question they didn't care much about, luckily). On the second 2 I lied my ass off and passed with flying colors!

BTW, that company went out of business a long time ago.

military career as a Marine? The military background which Quantico says never existed?
I can't understand why he's never asked about that Big Lie. Just like Bush, he's a totally fake "warrior" who is all macho and warmongering...except Jeff made up his military career and Bush shirked his.
I loathe these posers.

He keeps dangling himself in front of us--he never really disappears why is this? who is he really? what is his agenda? Who is he really working for?

And when Andy Stevenson wakes up out of surgery--can someone ask him about the Male bordello with heavy connections to the CIA

One minute he'll say he's not going to do any more interview question's and the next minute he's all over the place. What a flipflopper!!

I don't get PAX, don't care about gannon/guckert. I just think it's more egg on the face of the White House, letting this guy, who has show himself to be a complete CIRCUS GEEK, get press credentials.

regarding whether she was embezzling funds from the college. She passed with flying colors. She thought that was the end of it. Unfortunately for her, the law enforcement officers involved and upper administration decided to believe the subpeonaed bank statements, canceled checks and faculty/staff witnesses over the polygraph. Needless to say, she was escorted off campus by the police and has found employment elsewhere ;)

but if he passes, we won't believe him. :) I don't care either way, I just think it's funny.

...and it really shows what that Fundie/PAX station is all about.

As long as he either is a good liar or knows in advance what they will ask him.

Remember, King refused to interview Kitty Kelly about her book in which George Jr.s' former sis-in-law revealed how he snorted coke at Camp David while Sr. was Pres., although he interviewed her when she published other books about other people...

shouldn't say the word "trick" around Mr. Gannon should I? My bad :evilgrin:

Unless they're the kind of pablum-brained person who watches PAX, I guess.

Well, unless the Dalai Lama appears on the show to guarantee in person that it's a real polygraph machine and not a toy one, this test fits the definition of "meaningless" perfectly.

(Of course, if Gannon flunks it....)
