Remember Jeff Gannon?

He was a "reporter" in the press room during the Bush years. Has anyone heard anything about him? He used to be (and may still be) a freeper. I know some DUers were in touch with him. I wonder how he's doing.

The last paragraph at Wikipedia: "Gannon became a blogger for the National Press Club in Washington D.C.[32] A fellow press club member described him as "very active" at the club, where Gannon serves on the New Media Committee and Newsmakers Committee. The latter decides which "newsmakers" to invite to some Press Club events."

But yeah, if it's a GOP bilebot, Gannon is probably putting the words in its mouth.

I've wondered many times if it's the same Jeffy.

I haven't cared enough to ask though.

I remember his other job, while not in the White house press room asking Bush softball questions. lol.

I also remember he used to sign into the White House and wouldn't sign out the same night.

Jeff was an adult escort before becomming a 'reporter' with Whitehouse access, as I recall. Look it up for detail.
I am more interested in the guy working for "Talon News".. Pentagon 9/11.
