JEFFJ foams:
Kudo's to Rcade for putting this on the frontpage.
Lefties went apeshit when Jeff Gannon sucked sack for Bush.
Other than Rcade, where in the hell are all of you lefties now when Obama does the same thing?
you're applauding as sane and as the same your comparison of these two people and the events:
Nico Pitney...
is National Editor at the Huffington Post. He was previously Deputy Research Director at the Center for American Progress and Managing Editor of ThinkProgress. He lives in Washington, DC, and has appeared on CNN, MSNBC, Fox News, and NPR. Nico can be reached at pitney@huffingtonpost.com.
James Dale Guckert (born 1957) (a.k.a. Jeff Gannon)...
posed as a conservative columnist under the pseudonym Jeff Gannon and was given credentials as a White House reporter between 2003 and 2005, eventually being employed by the news organization Talon News.
Although he did not qualify for a Congressional press pass, Gannon was given daily passes to White House press briefings "after supplying his real name, date of birth and Social Security number." Gannon came under public scrutiny for his lack of a journalistic background prior to his work with Talon and his involvement with various homosexual escort service websites using the professional name "Bulldog".
Gannon resigned from Talon News on February 8, 2005. Continuing to use the name Gannon, he has since created his own official homepage and worked for a time as a columnist for the Washington Blade newspaper, where he confirmed he was gay after he was outed as a homosexual prostitute.
Talon News: a virtual organization with no physical office space or newsroom, Talon News was owned by a conservative activist group called GOPUSA. Robert Eberle, the president and CEO of GOPUSA, held both titles for Talon News as well. According to Media Matters, "Talon News apparently consists of little more than (Robert) Eberle, (Jeff) Gannon, and a few volunteers, and is virtually indistinguishable from GOPUSA.com.
wOw. maybe this conversation is really why the President accepted this -- i doubt it.
much of the right either refuses or are incapable of doing any real critical work before rabid condemnation and marching out [intolerance] for blood.
no wonder America has fallen so far behind in all things growth and leadership -- economics follow.
the only thing remotely resembling truth from Gannon were the final words of that famous planted question: "...how are you going to work with people who seem to have divorced themselves from reality?" of course, he was not factual at any time preceding those last words, i.e., the supposed comments about soup lines had not been made by Reid, but had been satirically attributed to him by conservative commentator Rush Limbaugh.
Most recently, Gannon operated JeffGannon.com, a blog where he criticized those who exposed him, the "Old Media" and the "Angry Gay Left". The site has since been taken offline and the domain expired.
