Guckert on CSPAN
Did anyone stomach him over the weekend?
I guess a panel of bloggers and journalists had a press meeting Friday and he was on the panel.
Was it covered already in posts here? Links please?

Anyway, he kept saying, "my colleagues and I" a lot, as if he is legit. He has colleagues?

:wtf:

1. Of course he does.
Other male whores who service the fascist agenda, a.k.a. FOX News.

4. I watched it. Gannon was great, kept digging his hole deeper and
deeper. I looked for a discussion here and couldn't find it, asked for links to earlier discussions and no one supplied one.

6. I watched some of it
Didn't have the stomach for all of it.

How about the question from the audience when that guy asked him about his illegal "job"site on the web? Hahaha...too funny. Guckert said we are not here to discuss issues that may not be true. What a fucking dolt!

5. gannon/guckert is such a light weight.
it is like he is playing the role of conservative shill and not actually a conservative shill. he is definetly no good at shilling. i feel sorry for him whenever he opens his mouth.

8. Yes I saw it
and it was a real hoot. Never mind how much we despise republicans and right wing shills in the White House Briefing Room. This guy is helping to ruin the right wing for decades to come.

I am sure you could stomach the show if you knew what an imbecile he was.

10. Maybe "stomach it" was the wrong choice of words
It was Guckert or the Padres and I kept switching back and forth. Since the Padres lost I probably should have stuck with watching the male whore for entertainment.

9. I saw some of it--Guckert/Gannon was reminded frequently
by panelists and members of the audience that copying, word for word, WH press releases is NOT journalism. He didn't seem to get it. Wonkette pressed him hard on how long it actually took him to get clearance for a day pass. After dodging the question he finally admitted it took him a WHOLE WEEK.

12. JimmyJeff, JimmyJeff, I've missed you so.
Edited on Mon Apr-11-05 09:47 AM by uppityperson
I missed you again, you egotistical twit. Oh well.

Edited to add his latest question not asked from his website:
April 7, 2005

"Democratic Senators Hillary Clinton and Patty Murray announced they would hold up the President's FDA nominee until the agency allows RU-486, the abortion pill, to be sold over-the-counter. Would you comment on what appears to be another example of the tyranny of a radical minority?"

13. WTF? Why is this POS given even one iota of credibility.
What a sophomoric, asinine society we have developed into.
