Is Jeff Gannon the Heidi Fleiss of Washington "Journalism"?
Gotta wonder. Wolf Blitzer seems like he's actually afraid of him.

1. Yes, it's likely he's got a "little black book" of some kind
The Milli Vanilli of MSM, the Heidi Fleiss of the White House Press Corps.

Yet to be plumbed there. Those things that got Gannon to where he is today will prove to be very...ahem...interesting, should they ever see the light of day.

A great gut check is upon our media. Much will be revealed by their handling of this story.

5. which reporter asked Bush "How has your faith got you through this?"
I can't remember and can't find a copy of that press conference where a reporter asked Bush "How has your faith helped you through this?"

I loved that question. To paraphrase, "Mr. President, how has your deep and abiding faith helped you to invade Iraq when all around you are doubters, some of whom will sadly never believe?"

7. I googled and found that question, but not the questioner
But based on his other ridiculous questions, it sure sounds like Gannon.

8. I believe it was April Ryan of the American Urban Radio Networks...
http://www.nypress.com/16/11/news&columns/cage.cfm

"The president followed a script of names in choosing which reporters could ask him a question, and he received generally friendly questioning." "Generally friendly questioning" is an understatement if there ever was one. Take this offering by April Ryan of the American Urban Radio Networks:

"Mr. President, as the nation is at odds over war, with many organizations like the Congressional Black Caucus pushing for continued diplomacy through the UN, how is your faith guiding you?"
