If Gannon used real name why did McClellan call him 'Jeff' ?

[spanone]

Gannon says he used his real name to gain access to White House press room as he said in the Anderson Cooper interview. If that's true why did McClellan always refer to him as Jeff?
Wouldn't his press credentials have his real name on them? Just some more questions to put in the soup.

1. James is too hard to pronounce.

2. Oh right, I forgot his explanation. Still his press pass should have

had his 'official' name on it. So, did Scotty know him personally?

5. or professionally?

if the latter, he'd have known JEFF "Bulldog" GANNON

3. "Miklaszewski" Is Hard To Pronounce... "Guckert" Isn't

4. That aspect doesn't bother me.

If a real journalist from a real newspaper used a pen-name, and McLellan called on him by his pen-name, that would be fine by me.

6. Good ques. -There is no way the MSM stenographers can be this incompetent

by chance. They are asking the wrong questions with the intent of steering discourse.
