ATTN: "Jeff Gannon" - Nobody Cares About Your PERSONAL Life
Edited on Thu Feb-24-05 10:44 AM by Stephanie


The "liberal bloggers" turned up information about your PROFESSIONAL life as a male prostitute - you advertised your services on the internet by posting full frontal nude photos of yourself and quoting rates of $200 an hour or $1200 for the weekend. That is not PERSONAL, that's a BUSINESS. So stop your whining.

‘I asked to come. They allowed me to come’
Access to the White House press room was easy, former reporter Jeff Gannon tells NBC’s Campbell Brown in an exclusive interview
Today show
Updated: 9:09 a.m. ET Feb. 24, 2005


Brown: Did you advertise yourself as a gay, male escort for hire on a Web site?

Gannon: I cannot go into those specifics. I can tell you that there is a lot of misinformation out there. There's a lot of fabrication out there, and a lot of misinformation.

Brown: Why can't you then clear it up right now? The cameras are rolling.

Gannon: As I've said, I've been advised not to get into the specifics out there. Is there some truth out there? Yes. Is there a lot of falsehood out there? Absolutely.

* * * * *

Some might say, how does a guy who works for an obscure, Internet publication, with a background that is linked to Internet porn in some fashion, get into the daily briefings and get to ask the president a question at a news conference?

Gannon: I asked to come. They allowed me to come. And apparently there isn't a very high threshold as far as somebody's personal life to gain access.

1. and another thing Bulldog
no one dug into your personal life, they just did some advertising for you. You should keep the sites with all this free ad time you're getting now.

2. interview on Today Show

Gannon says he used his real name to get clearance..just showed his driver's license but Guckert is mispronounced and was allowed to use Gannon?

Not quite as much since this prostitute was outed. Who do you suppose is advising him not to go into specifics, Rove?

4. More Operation Mockingbird payola should be outed.
What is it now with Armstrong Williams et al. ? How many more disinformation agents using taxpayer dollars to spread Bush propaganda...

and Gannon/Guckert may still be in the military ? PsyOps or intelligence ? For what purpose ?

6. Typical Karl Rove spinning
There's a lot of misinformation out there. (Because as long as things are confused, I have some cover.)

A lot of people don't have the facts. (Because I'm working so hard to keep them buried.)

Someday, the truth will come out. (Truth is good AND my truth will come out ERGO I am good -- trust me.)

How many times have we seen this same nonsense from the White House over oil deals? National Guard Service? Valerie Plame outing?
