1. What does "sticky gossip" mean?

Im not up on gossip jargon! Is it some kind of clue?
Sticky = glue, "sticky wicket (cricket?)", paste (pasty?), stick figures, eek Im confused!

8. Sometimes a word is a clue -- or I'm guessing it may mean...

that this would be problematical if known, or that the rumor is sticking around, not going away.

10. If a word is a clue, then I think the most important word in this

blind item would be

"security types would know"

Who rates a security type?

That is the clue

12. I think that let's out most, if not all, Dems, don't you?

On edit: Does that limit to WH, VP's office, Cabinet?

13. Yup, but who gets security in this admin is the question

and there are obvious answers

Starting at the top

2. Let me guess; McClellan? nt

3. Gannon?

7. Gannon DOES has a series of visits to the White House

he has yet to explain--AND that security types would know about. But since when does a Cindy Adams dabble in the the political arena?

9. Oh, she's dabbled there many times! nt

[seemslikeadream]

11. I really think she might have got it from another type of arena!

:wow:

4. Who is "he"? n/t

:shrug:

[K8-EEE]

5. Well Cripes, Who WAS Gannon's WH Boyfriend...

if it was a female hooker who became Miss WH Correpsondent with all those connections you can bet people would be asking, who's her in? Who's her client/bf?
