The National Press Club Welcomes ... Jeff Gannon?

Yes, the same day that the prestigious Washington, D.C., journalism organization plans to present a lunch talk by former Washington Post executive editor Ben Bradlee, it will also allow the former White House reporter/sex site operator to be on a panel discussing bloggers and online journalism.

Still, Press Club leaders will include Gannon on the panel April 8 that includes Wonkette.com editor Ana Marie Cox, National Journal's John Stanton, and others.

Gannon told E&P today that he always considered himself a legitimate journalist, and "perhaps their invitation is recognition of that."

2. Who is paying them to include Guckert?

Follow th emoney. Will he be there as Gannon or Guckert?

[rocktivity]

3. Perhaps their invitation is in recognition of his potential drawing power

in a circus sideshow freak sort of way.
