Gannon to Rapid City Journalist - "Get off your butt and do your job."
http://www.rapidcityjournal.com/politicalblog/

Then I got a personal contact from Jeff Gannon himself. He offered a brief, unsolicited email critique of my work on a story about rumors of voter-registration skullduggery in Pennington County. Conservative Web runners were pushing that as a Democratic deal. I was interested in that notion, but found no evidence to make a clear connection in print.

Gannon apparently grew impatient with my work, at least that’s how I took this portion of his email: “Get off your butt and do your job.”

Now, that’s always good advice. But I couldn’t help but wonder what he thought my job was. That became pretty clear recently when I watched Jeff Gannon lob an outrageously ingratiating softball to President Bush during a news conference on C-SPAN.

Jeff Gannon was clearly doing his job, as he sees it. That’s fine, as long as people don’t confuse his job with mine.


And check out the article a bit further down re: Gannon's work on the Thune campaign to bash Daschle. "Jeff Gannon and South Dakota (And a handy S.D. blog index)"
