Why Isn't The Jeff Gannon Story On Drudge?
- Fake journalist.
- White House involvement.
- WH Credentials to a reporter who never should have gotten them
- Bush is on first name basis with the guy.
- Now the latest bombshell: fake journalist was not only fake and
a rightwing shill, but also was running gay callboy service.

Nah. Not up Drudge's alley.

4. You Forgot to Mention that.....
1) Jeff Gannon isn't even his real name and WH press aren't allowed to use fake names (so he not only doesn't have real press credentials but he got special allowances to use an alias)

2) Gannon has ties to Rove's associates

5. is this a trick question?
The purpose of apropaganda machine is not to spread information but spin/

The gannon story is not conducive to the Shrubbery's propagnda needs. so no story.

Though i admit I am deeply disturbed by the reveleation that this guy posed on an escort site.

I mean, he's an idiot and a shill, but Gods does he look hot with his shirt off. This owuld be easier if the guy looked like the troll he is.

I could date the guy..provided I could gag him with a few rolls of duct tape first.

Is that wrong?

28. Yep that's what I meant.
That and breaking the law with the bushCabal's help & knowledge by using a fake name with WH press creds.

It's the rightwingnuttery that decry all porn -including "naked statues- yet they sure are always getting caught -pardon the figure of speech- with their dicks in their hands.

8. I'd like to hear about it from Britt Hume's Grapevine
Or on 'Only on FOX' or from Tony Snow....

"how this lying creep tried to pretend to be a journalist. How the Liberals get away with this in the media.....oops, did anyone check this story. We'll get back to you folks."


I wish. This will get buried by the Reich-wing press. If the WP gets off their knees and decides to make an issue over this, it will be fun to shove this down the Fundies throats (pun intended).

12. All the sites he's listed as registrar of are now offline.
And he's probably making plans to grow a beard and change his name.

17. I've submitted several different links about it to Drudge...
multiple time.


But I'm not expecting him to cover it.

Now, had this been a Clinton sycophant, then it would be his TOP STORY.

24. Yes, do that. How about the National Enquirer? & these...:-)
The tabloids are read by a lot of those Bush voters!

Send this to them, and to the Star, the Weekly World Report..
Hmmm. We could offer to write for them and make a bunch of money to boot!

Penthouse, Hustler, etc.

Any gay publications?

Leno, Letterman, and definitely Jon Stewart.

Also Wonkette.com. (Wash DC scandal sheet)

Boston Globe, Philadelphia Inquirer, LA Times, SF Chronicle and other liberal newspapers.

Entertainment Tonight? Might be up their alley. People Magazine.

Someone should start a new magazine just for these types of stories. We could call it "Hypocrites Today."

The liberal newspaper columnists. Paul Krugman, NY Times. Ariana Huffington, etc.

USA Today? They ran the Social Security poll showing most folks want to tax the rich. Worth a try!

Air America. Jones Radio Network. other liberal shows. Alan Combs at Fox, even.

All, please take a few minutes and send the juicy stuff to at least a few of these!

30. The New York Daily News Front Page
I took the liberty of picking out this choice morsel.

The White House didn't return a call asking how someone using an alias was given daily clearance to enter the White House. HAHAHAHAHAHAH, that pretty much sums it up!
