BLOGGERMANN - Separating the Gannons from the Guckerts
Edited on Mon Feb-21-05 12:23 AM by Sparkle
NEW YORK - So, the artist formerly known as Jeff Gannon is considering suing everybody.

Well, this will separate the Gannons from the Guckerts.

Gannon told Newsweek that he is contemplating “suing liberal interest groups, bloggers, and others,” for what he termed “political assassination.” Don’t see that in the statutes anywhere.

He is presumably pondering some sort of libel action, or perhaps he harbors some vague hope of proving invasion of privacy. This would, of course, require that what’s been said about him isn’t true (though he hasn’t denied it), and was maliciously published or broadcast by people who knew it wasn’t true or made no effort to confirm or refute it. Of course, he had told Editor & Publisher last week that he would no longer talk to the media, then followed that up five days later by a complaint to the same magazine that nobody was trying to contact him (and in the same interview denied he was giving an interview with CNN, an interview which he taped about an hour later).

2. As always, KO is RIGHT on target
Gannon/Guckert is trying to portray himself as a victim. At least there's ONE reporter out there who won't let him get away with it.

about this whole mess.


Oh, well, it happens with every administration, I'm sure Clinton had a patsy like that too..


Bull, If Clinton had pulled this it would have blown up before the election in convient timing.
