AmericaBlog fact checks Jimmy/Jeff Gannon's new blog
Edited on Thu Feb-24-05 05:23 PM by Dudley_DUright
Ok, I'm reading Jeff Gannon's new blog, and it's simply amazing. Some of the best tidbits I've already found:

Jeff says: Immediately the questions about how I got into the briefing room began to be asked. After all, I had 'no journalistic credentials' despite the fact that I had written over 500 articles for Talon News over a two-year period.

John says: Uh, TODAY you've written over 500 articles, supposedly. The day you walked in the door of the White House, how many had you written? Any? Not to mention, you weren't even working for Talon News when you first walked in the White House as a "journalist."

2. "So feared by the Left it had to take me down"
Feared by the left? Hahahahahahahahahaha :)

Whatever dude. I think Guckert is just a bit "divorced from reality" himself.

3. "...how many had you written? Any?"
As far as I can tell, JimmyJeff's first articles appeared at conservativeguy.com .

There ain't 500, and it ain't journalism, but he WAS writing before he hooked up with GOPUSA/Talon News.

It's interesting to note that he didn't put a name (any of them) to those early articles.

6. He accuses the left of hypocrisy?
"Jeff says: These people may have exposed some of my human failings but they have also revealed their own hypocrisy."
What an idiot.

7. Jeff says: They dug deep for dirt, dredging up things long past
...and erecting a fantasy world worthy of a Vince Flynn novel.

Hey, they were YOUR fantasies JJ, we just posted them.

8. Pride goeth before a fall and, in Jimmy Jeff's case, after a fall, too.
Is his picture in the dictionary next to egomaniac, or what?

10. It's ALWAYS about 1) the HYPOCRISY and 2) the WINGNUTTINESS, not Gayness
And ARAVOSIS is just EXCELLENT.
