Why "Gannon" and not "Guckert"??

[SoCalDem]

Gannon sounds manly and aggressive.. guckert sounds like a noise you would make when choking on a freedom fry :)

and maybe he's a frustrated "cop wannabee".

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

1. Cause Guckert sounds like Fuckert

[Auntie Bush]

25. I suggested this afternoon that we should create a new word...Fuckert!

All media whores are fuckerts. Anyone who spreads propaganda are fuckerts.

Sean, Bill, Ann, Rush, Wolfie, Novak etc are all fuckerts.
And that fuckert bush tops them all.
Is Judy a fuckert too?

[mattclearing]

33. This is ingenious.

I fully support the adding of "fuckert" to the English language.

:D

[Pooka Fey]

28. Hee Hee Hee :-)

[rzemanfl]

2. Or choking on a weiner. n/t

[SoCalDem]

20. Eeeew.. Now I'm thinking about Michael "Savage" Weiner

Thanks a LOT :)

[Cha]

3. "White House Press Corpse"

Prescisely!

Yeah, gannon sounds a lot better than the self-descriptive "guck-ert".

[justiceischeap]

4. My guess is he didn't want people investigating the name Guckert (em)

[Radio-Active]

5. "Gaynnonomous"

[SpiralHawk]

6. ...the sound you would make choking on a freedom fry...

ROFLMAO

7. Blitzer pronouced it "Gookert!"

poor guy

[jdj]

16. they do that shit on purpose

it may be the correct German pronunciation, but they have done that in the past so that people spell it wrong and can't ever find it when they look for it.

Or maybe they are going to play the immigrant card on this one too.

[librechik]

26. just a couple of German Name Nazis sittin around talking

Herr Blitzer and Herr Guckert

[Catshrink]

29. Don't forget Herr KKKarl Rove!

[jdj]

34. this was a big deal pre-election, DU-ers were commenting on it

who was it.

dammit.

there was someone..

Bingo. It was Valerie Plame.

And one of the reporters suspected of leaking the name, I beleive it was a female, was running around pretending not to have heard of her, and calling her Valerie Plume. Mispronoucing it on purpose to throw people off.

[Must_B_Free]

36. It is pronounced "Gookert" when I have heard the name before

I new some teachers at Penn State with that name and they pronounced it "gookert".

[slor]

8. Did you not hear...

"gannon" is way easier to say than "guckert". That poor conservative, whose mama was stalked by evil X-mas-hating Liberals said so to wolfie-face. Only problem is, in all of the video clips of press meetings, I never heard his surname used, it was always just "jeff". But still, you gotta have a easy name for a prez as dumb as the chimp.

[Radio-Active]

12. but he wasn't "Jeff Guckert"

why did he change his first name too?

[SoCalDem]

14. Probably the school-yard taunts are still ringing in his ears

Jim-mmeeeee Guckert...is a ...... (fill in the blanks)

[SnowGoose]

9. I kinda liked "gannon - or whatever his *real* name is"

kinda gives a nod to the falsity of this guy's career.

"Member" of the press.... I'll bet!

[jdj]

10. I would bet there might be some reason not to have that

name mentioned if you are going to be lobbing such obvious softball questions... and what that reason is remains to be seen...but the "divorced themselves from reality" would definitely raise eyebrows. This may just be the tip of the iceberg.

[Liberal Veteran]

11. Looks like he went to the correct sign...

White House Press Corpse....Bwah-ha-ha....how appropriate.

[Anakin Skywalker]

13. LOL! Good One!

:)

[Carni]

15. OMG! That fat fugly creature in the photo with him is *angelwood*

Of the freakrepublic.

*It* is one of the heads of the freerepublic DC chapter and organizes all the freeper hillbilly protests and happenings in the DC area.

[SoCalDem]

17. Here's a link to her site and pics of MANY of their harrassment trips

[fob]

19. You know, looking at that pic, why is that woman staring at jimjeff with

an ever so slight smirk? She is *apparently* there PROTESTING the press and a "member" of the press gets that close to her and where is her outrage?

Are there any other pictures that catch jimjeff maybe flashing his "I'm a moran, I mean fweeper" sign to clue the "protestor" in he's on "their" side?

[SoCalDem]

21. She's a freeper.. I added the "e".. She was supporting the WH press

and swooned over him at her site

http://community.webshots.com/photo/139408344/139416203obYCMa

[fob]

23. Ahh, good job. Got me. At least I read her expression correctly!!

[Jacobin]

18. It's because "Wolf" Blitzer's real name is LESLIE and he doesn't want

that widely known.

Professional courtesy from one mediawhore to the other.

[AlCzervik]

22. Guckert is his Man whore name

[Idioteque]

24. We can't make Zelda jokes with Guckert (n/t) :P

[sleepyhead]

27. Or perhaps he was afraid of mispronunciation.

Someone might think it's pronounced "GooKAIR" and think he's (gasp) French!

[SoCalDem]

31. Ooh la la

Pass the freedom fries :)

[Radio-Active]

30. like I said above..

If he only used a pseudonym because "Guckert" is hard to pronounce, like he told Wolf Blitzer..
THEN WHY DID HE ALSO CHANGE HIS FIRST NAME FROM JAMES TO JEFF?

Anyone have trouble pronouncing "James"?

[jdj]

35. Is it possible to avoid web search over lap?

If someone looking for him didn't put the name in quotes and they came up with two pictures with two different surnames...maybe they were trying to use their noggins in dealing with the internets.

[mitchum]

32. Because too many other rent boys were already using "Angel" and "Jamie"
