16. I don't consider outing gay hypocrites 'bashing' at all...
If they're working for the other side, they're contributing to the problems gays all across the country face. We don't need that at all.

Out 'em, shove it in their faces, make 'em resign. They drop like flies if you show a spine; truth is a fumigant for these little prigs.

3. LOL, 'tis true
I'd actually pictured it as a big, juicy, sizzling steak but you can only eat so much of that!

This is the scandal we've been waiting for, IMHO. We were led to believe all the others were "too complex" for the masses. This is so blatant, so hypocritcal, so unethical, so egregious, so slimy and the connections to high places are right there for all to see.

4. Too bad the masses will see scandal in the topless photo, not in
the softball questions during press conferences!

I agree with you
and disagreeing with Rachel for possibly the first time evah,
I think it is the perfect storm, and ties several illegal acts up with a big rainbow colored bow.

OTOH, despite the festive coloration, it will work like a railroad bar upside the head of the Cristists. Let us all beat them with it.

I have no problems beating the muktuk out of a self hating, militarist gay who would side with **, which puts them on equal footing with nazi hetboyz as well.

14. Yup, and now he's in Fitzgerald's sights
I hope this puts the Plame story back on Page 1 right where it belongs.

The dumb shit hung himself on FR, does it get any better than that?

17. Took me all of two minutes to find every post that asshat made
bragging it up about helping to out Plame.

What a complete dumbass.

22. I'd hate to see him get the No. 1 spot on T10CI
but idiocy of this magnitude must be acknowledged.

Unless he gets spots 2-10. :evilgrin:

15. I don't know about that.
I've been to a few steak joints where the smallest steak is 12 ounces - on the kiddie menu. One thing they love to do up here in the Lake Effect Zone is eat.

9. NPR gave it some coverage yesterday
only a couple minutes, and only the surface of the story, but they are aware.

12. CNN covered it
both last nigth at least on Anderson Cooper and this morning on CNN Morning or wahtever their show is.

MSNBC covered it last night too.


My Guess is if you're looking for the Big 3 to cover it, tonight would be your best bet....

I was not able to tune into his show until the last few minutes.

28. Thanks....but, even then, CNN isn't covering the gay escort/Plame aspects
I'm wondering if they're waiting on more solid evidence...not wanting to get burned post-Rathergate.

7. Caution
Don't get so high on this that they slip a bigger story past your nose and under the rug out of sight.

I get suspicious that stories like this one are a smoke screen to hide a bigger story. I just don't know what this administration is capable of. They have pulled so much already.

8. Meanwhile, the 9-11 commission's omission of FAA sitting...
...on dozens of pre 9-11 warnings about terrorists attacks using planes as missiles and flying them into buildings, gets glossed over everywhere in MSM.

11. Something like that
is too big, and has too many tentacles to slip quietly down the memory hole.

The bottom line

Why should we care about Jeff Gannon?

A potential male prostitute gets White House credentials using a fake name, provides McClellan a welcome ideological lifeline during press conferences, and somehow gets access to classified CIA documents that outs an undercover CIA operative.


IMO, the only question left to answer is, was he doin' Mehlman or McClellan? :evilgrin:

21. Forget the lurkers criticizing our Gannon threads. We are able to keep
Edited on Thu Feb-10-05 11:08 AM by hector459
more than one of deception balls in the air at the same time. If Rovians can begin multiple lies and keep the spinning going on all of them, we are up to the task of paying attention to more than just one major story. And the O'Malley and Gannon stories have MORE THAN ONE embedded issue in each story. There are stories within the stories and good journalism will expose the true significance of each.

We are here to spark "excellence in journalism" or do it ourselves!

I'm mad as hell and I ain't going to take this shit anymore!

to brighten my day. With this and the release of portions of the 9/11 commission report, and Franken taking on Brit Hume we are on a roll.. gotta keep the pressure on. This house of cards may come crashing down yet...

The gay thing is the tail... I'm real hungry and I want lizard.

GO FOR THE LIZARD!

I wish you all good luck and good hunting.
