Madsen wants to know how tall Gannon is.....
Edited on Tue Mar-08-05 05:43 AM by AntiFascist
can someone confirm that he is 5'9"? (I don't usually go to those websites :evilgrin:)

As reported to jamboi by Wayne Madsen here: http://wmadsen.blogspot.com/

I received the following from a friend in Houston:

Was wondering how tall Gannon/Guckert/Gosch is as either he, or a dead ringer for him, showed up at the Houston restaurant I was having a luncheon meeting Friday (March 4) . This guy was probably 5' 9" or so, late 30's/early 40's, athletic build.


<snip>

Could it be that even after Gannon was outed as a gay male escort who may have had clients in the White House, he is still being funded by Eberle in Houston?

1. He says he's 5'9"
According to the websites where he was advertising and selling his services, he lists his height as 5'9". His weight varies from one website to another, but his height is always 5'9".

Hmmm... maybe it was him...

3. I thought Madsen was some great investigative reporter????
Edited on Tue Mar-08-05 05:46 AM by tx_dem41
He can't figure out how to get on the internet and find out what height Gannon was claiming to be on the escort websites?? This stuff is not that hard to find out.

5. I think the point was....
to get this out there for some reason. For Christ's sake, I could have gone to those websites.

7. That's the sad thing...so could have Madsen.
Nope, I reread the post. Madsen definitely is seeking an answer.

Nevermind, mixed up the TO and FROM email posts.

On edit: Wait, no I didn't. Madsen's not asking, his friend was.

9. Actually....
I reedited the link to point out that one of Madsen's friends was inquiring. Wasn't me though.

10. To be more accurate, one of Madsen's friends asked Madsen...
who apparently couldn't perform a slight bit (one-two minutes) of investigation at the time so he passed along the request in a (mass?) email.

14. About simple questions? Yeah, it took me about 30 seconds to find
..out the information. Wish Mr. Madsen had time to take the same 30 seconds.

18. I think the crux of this is the "confirm" part.
Taking his word for this on his website, well...

I know lots and lots of sexworkers, and "accurate descriptions" on such websites are very rare!!!

13. Passed along the request?
No, he passed along the email. Gannon's height wouldn't be a mystery to people who are following the story closely, so the guy's estimation would be seen as added corroboration, not something that needed to be looked up.

15. Obviously you have a beef with the OPer then. His title clearly
states that Mr. Madsen is looking for this answer.

Madsen's friend was perhaps travelling. He may have had a blackberry with him in which case he would be able to send emails but not readily be able to browse the internet, so he sent this email hoping for a quick response. My main purpose in posting this, which is not clear in the title, was to echo what had been posted on jamboi's blog, which had been passed on by Madsen. I cannot readily explain the intention of the original author.

On Edit: it must be late!

12. And he is passing along that request in his email.
Edited on Tue Mar-08-05 06:14 AM by tx_dem41
BTW, your "on edit" still makes your original (now erased) statement wrong.

Oh, and please ask the OP to edit his title. You must think thats wrong as well.

20. As to the question of Gannon still being in the employ of Eberle....
I would say, yes. These scum sucking pigs rarely deep six one another for trivial stuff like this. If he'd ratted out (or just plain outed) Eberle or bush, that would be a different story.
