    Great work! Kelly, you should open up a PayPal 'Gannongate Reward Fund' donation drive - we need to get this reward into the hundreds of thousands...

    Consider rewording 'profen'.

    I believe it's spelled 'proven'.

    Sorry - I don't take misspellers seriously. They shine a bad light on intelligent people.

    Kelly Ann, could I give you 20k for a night of steamy passion? You are so hot that it is hard for me to even imagine that you have sex. It must be crazy, I feel sorry for your neighbors, but then again no, beacuse they would get to hear you moaning.

    Perhaps people are missing "the point". Who cares who's sleeping with whom? No one, unless you consider:

    (1) "cementing" loyalties sometimes works best when applied with a heavy dose of blackmail (lots of people in the upper echelon would rather NOT have their sexual proclivities out in the open...)

    (2) there's a whiff of a "Franklin Scandal" surrounding this:
    http://www.rense.com/general63/gad.htm

    (3) and evidence of a very possible link to the Valerie Plame affaire:
    http://www.rense.com/general63/dcwho.htm

    (4) not to mention the question of whether Gannon/Guckert went through the normal clearance channels (like everyone else in the press) - or was allowed special dispensation?

    Any of these items provide more than enough reason for the adminstration to force a complete MSM blackout. But #2 and #3...well, that's some pretty heavy s**t - the kind that'll get people ki***d.

    Whatever they're parading in front of us is not the truth.

    BTW, who said Kelly Ann was a liberal?

    Yeah, us "liberals" have plenty to do, but can you imagine if there was a fag hooker in the Clinton White House? You would never hear the end of it and Karl Rove would have put out a billion dollar bounty. You "conservatives" need to realize that this is huge and someone is going to burn.

    There is another name that comes into the mix of Ken Mehlman, Karl Rove, Scott McClellan and Jeff Gannon. It is Dan Gurley and it would be very interesting if anyone knows how all these boys link up.
    I see Gannon claims on his website that he is on a haitus from the White House press room. My guess is he'll make an appearance in a morgue before he makes another one in the W.H. press room. Of course, stranger things have happened.

    Here's some info on Gannon for those on the trail.......

    Liberals always had better things to do other than invade other people's privacy. Unfortunately Conservatives started this little invading "people's privacy" thing a long time ago, and then used all the collective dirt to smear and smear and smear anybody who gives them a little honest competition in the world of politics. Now it has gotten so bad, somehow Conservatives have managed to get themselves labeled as having better morals and values than Liberals. All this digging and outing in the world of Conservatives is going to have to take place in order to clear up all that confusion culturally now. Just because someone digs dirt doesn't make them any cleaner. Time that America begins to understand that! If I were a Conservative right now I would be out helping all my friends who are running for Congress in 2006. If the Democrats manage to run either house ever again.....the scandals that this administration has squashed and covered up.......Good Lord, you can sell tickets to the Congressional Hearings! Comparing this administration's moment of accountability to Clinton's is going to be like comparing a Broadway musical to a school Christmas program. I always had better things to do, and while I was doing those things the smearing and digging took over. I will not be a victim any longer! Because Liberals are generally people who play well with others, it has been hard for us all to come to terms with what we have to do in order to take care of our lives and the lives of our children concerning politics. We have learned though at the dirty hands of the dirt diggers. So let's all dig the dirt, let's dig it until this is all cleaned up!

    Agreed. The idiot who stated "don't liberals have anything better to do than invading other people's privacy," is clearly narrow. If you think "liberals" are the only folks throwing dirt, you need help. All parties do it and will continue to do so.

    Anyhoo, nice work raising the reward money.

     
    At 2:40 PM, Tracy girl said...

    I don't care what anybody does with their weewee either, I'm a liberal (bad girl, naughty girl, no morals, no values). There are a lot of people out there though a lot more qualified for a White House day pass than Jeff Gannon and how many times was he issued one? I mean come on........who do you have to sleep with to ice that cake? How does all that work like that day in and day out? That's what I want to know! And if Jeff Gannon is really replying here, that has got to suck. Talk about going from 60 mph to 0 in 6.5 seconds. I'm here because I'm at home tending to a disabled child and my husband is in the military and this is my means of making whatever small difference and influence that I can to better my community and world and the lives of my children. What the heck is "Bullet" doing spending his precious time here? I hope it was meant as a joke, I wouldn't wish that much of a wake up call so suddenly on anyone. I'm a liberal, I play well with others, I genuinely care about my fellow man and firmly believe that happy people create happy lives and communities. I'm a liberal (bad girl, naughty girl, no morals, no values)

    What might've been...

    The Washington Times reported that Republican media consultant, R. Gregory Stevens, 42, was found dead in a bedroom in California.

    What makes this story interesting is that Mr. Stevens worked for Barbour, Griffith & Rogers, the muscular consulting agency out of our nation's capital started by the Haley Barbour.

    Yes, the same Harbour who once headed the GOP, governor of Mississippi and close friend of Bush & Co.

    According to the article, Stevens was lovingly remembered by his pals from work as "a flamboyant personality and bicoastal bachelor...something of a misfit [with] a large circle who he touched."

    Hmm...I wonder if his touch reached Jimmy-Gannon-boy.

    Hi! This is a GREAT idea! I think more people should start broadcasting the personal information about other people they don't like or want to hurt for some reason! Why do some people still think this is so wrong?

    I mean, I have an ex-boyfriend that I have some real dirt on that I'd like the world to know about...he's not famous or anything but I'm a pretty shallow and bitter queen and I think making all of his dirty laundry known could really cause him a lot of pain. Maybe he'd lose his job or something or his family would stop talking to him. He sure deserves it after breaking up with me bacause he said I was "too unstable." Unstable? HA! I think not.

    And then there's this girl who lives down that hall who thinks she's just soooooo hot. Yeah, she's pretty and all but she's not all that! She has some pretty loud parties sometimes but she never invites me or anyone else on our hall. Sure, we don't really know her but so F'ing what?!!!

    Anyhow, I don't know if she's a prostitute but I just don't like her. So why shouldn't I be allowed to start spreading the word that she's a whore and post her address out on the internet so guys start calling her for sex? Maybe I'd tip off the cops or something and get her busted or at least thrown out of our building. That'd teach her for being pretty and not inviting me to her parties!!! That bitch.

    LOL! Yes, I think you should post whatever you want about your ex boyfriend!!! I'm not so sure about the girl down the hall from you, though. You could probably get in trouble if its not true and they trace it back to you.

    I have some things I'd like to get off my chest about some certain people too. If you post your dirt, I'll post mine! :)

    LA Times - Op Ed

    Sex, Lies and Spies: This Isn't News?
    By John Aravosis
    John Aravosis is a writer and political consultant and the editor of AMERICAblog.com.

    March 6, 2005

    An experimental column in which the Los Angeles Times invites outside critics to slap around a newspaper whose editorial endorsed TWO candidates for mayor.

    *

    Bloggers uncover that someone working as a reporter in the West Wing is also advertising himself as a $200-an-hour gay escort — someone whose name, a year earlier, had appeared in the U.S. attorney's subpoena of White House documents during the investigation of the Valerie Plame-CIA scandal.

    The mainstream media, including the Los Angeles Times, remains largely silent. Why?

    The story of James D. Guckert (a.k.a. Jeff Gannon) broke Jan. 26. It started as a blip of a controversy over a little-known "reporter" for a conservative website asking a kiss-up question at a White House briefing. Bloggers investigated "Gannon's" identity and found that he had little training in journalism and an apparent connection to male prostitution. Bloggers wanted to know how someone with this background had for two years received White House "day pass" press credentials. Within days, the story exploded online, yet it took a month for The Times to give the story a mention, and then its coverage was a textbook case of how not to write the news.

    The piece cited or quoted by name five sources as well as an unnamed media critic — none expressing any outrage — as well as Guckert himself. It failed to quote the bloggers who broke this story — including me — or anyone who thought Guckert's ability to waltz through security with a pseudonym and get within a few feet of the president during a time of war might be a serious issue.

    That's not to say we Internet sleuths didn't get an honorary mention. The story called us "left-wing bloggers" and "gay activists" (not all of us are), diminishing our credibility and helping to keep our ample and well-sourced evidence out of public discourse.

    It's not as if bloggers were the only ones on the case. Democratic Sens. Harry Reid, Richard Durbin, Edward M. Kennedy, Frank Lautenberg and John Kerry have asked the White House to investigate. And senior House Democrats have called on the federal prosecutor investigating the leaking of the identity of CIA agent Plame to subpoena Guckert's diary.

    In labeling the story "White House Notebook" and treating it largely as a look at the imprecision of attempting to define "journalist," The Times missed the more serious news angle — the apparent breach of White House security by someone with a troubling past.

    And then there are the obvious questions about whether he might somehow fit into the Bush administration's ongoing campaign to neutralize the media by paying off pundits like Armstrong Williams. If nothing else, there's a story too in the fact that the administration has said nothing since the story broke about its pressroom ally's extracurricular activities — a rank case of family values hypocrisy.

    I can think of three possible reasons The Times didn't cover this obviously major story with any vigor:

    (1) Trepidation about gays, sex and power. In the age of wardrobe malfunctions, news organizations are extra cautious about covering anything involving s-e-x. And a gay angle only makes things more confusing. Would you be anti-gay or pro-gay if you wrote about an allegedly homophobic journalist who happened to be gay? Answer: Allegations of prostitution aren't just about someone's private life, they're about a crime that can lead to blackmail, especially if state secrets are involved. And in any case, your readers are adults — give them the facts and let them decide for themselves.

    (2) Reverse liberal guilt. Too sensitive to right-wing accusations of being liberal, traditional media have overcompensated by becoming too timid in covering certain stories. They seem loath to aggressively report on scandals involving Republican politicians, in general, and this White House in particular.

    (3) Blogophobia. Liberal bloggers scare the mainstream media. Media critics fret over our supposed lack of professional credentials, even though many of us are journalists. They doubt our facts but don't independently investigate the stories.

    The lack of coverage plays into the hands of the White House. Mainstream media editors act as if our investigation of Guckert is about prurience and lacks merit. But there is more than enough evidence to make any reporter want to check out the possibilities of White House deception and media manipulation.

    The Times' editors shouldn't allow themselves to think they are above the fray. In truth, they are failing to speak truth to power.

    "Outing a fraud reporter who threw himself into the public spotlight is not invading his private life. He publicly advertised himself as a professional escort."

    3 things, Einstein:

    1. PROVE IT, don't just toss rumors around. Can you? Show me that 'ad'. Show me some receipts.

    2. How is this NOT invading a person's private life? Because I'm in the public eye during the day means I should automatically have my personal life exposed? And saying that he was a "fraud" is only your opinion, and a wrong one at that.

    3. If this turns out to be true (which it won't), SO WHAT?? A reporter by day and hooker by night. Where's the scandal in this? Is this the best you can do?

    Can't wait till this comes back to bite all the Bush-haters in the ass. Fortunately, this "story" is sooooo yesterday's news and nobody really cares. Wake me when you actually find something, will ya?

    Sigh...nothing more than a bunch of bitter gay "boiz" and their dried-up fag hags trying to feel like they actually matter. You just keep on doing your Tina and dancing the night away, ladies, and leave the important things to the grown ups, OK?

    3. If this turns out to be true (which it won't), SO WHAT?? A reporter by day and hooker by night. Where's the scandal in this? Is this the best you can do?

    Can't wait till this comes back to bite all the Bush-haters in the ass. Fortunately, this "story" is sooooo yesterday's news and nobody really cares. Wake me when you actually find something, will ya?

    1: Do you think we made this stuff up? The websites were active until this broke out and are still in Google archives. Check out Americasblog for the full history.

    2: Just because you call yourself a reporter doesn't make you one. In nearly every profession or trade, your peers, ie other reporters in this case, determine if you are real or not. New technology has never been a reason to let a quack into the operating room. Doctors certify doctors, acountants certify accountants and so on. In DC the House and Senate Media Galleries make this determination and he was turned down for credentials yet he still got into the White House.
    On the who cares if he was a hooker point, last I checked, offering sex for money is prostitution which is a crime. Soliciting prostitution is also a crime. This is no more invading his privacy than the release of the "madam's" black book up in Frederick, MD a few months ago was.

    3: All of the allegations in this case are based on PUBLIC records.

    The conservatives seem to think that if they repeat a lie enough times people will think it is not a lie. Think "Weapons of Mass Destruction".
    You just posted the same comments 16 times Einstein, proving my point.

    South Dakota Paper Probes Senator's Link to Jeff Gannon

    By E&P Staff

    Published: March 06, 2005 1:30 PM ET

    NEW YORK When the national media bothers to cover the James Guckert case at all, it generally ocuses on the reporter/escort’s access to White House briefings for two years, operating under an alias (Jeff Gannon) and on behalf of a clearly partisan organization (GOPUSA). But there are local spinoffs as well.

    Today, the Rapid City (S.D.) Journal examined the Guckert/Gannon links to the 2004 U.S. Senate contest in that state, which sent the Democratic leader, Sen. Tom Daschle, packing. The newspaper’s probe followed reports in E&P and elsewhere about Gannon’s apparent links to political operatives and bloggers in the state who are credited with helping to elect John Thune to the post.

    According to the paper, Thune said last week that he barely knew Gannon. He said he appeared on Gannon's radio show once early in the campaign and later may have done another interview for a print piece. But Thune said “his campaign didn't pay Gannon for his reporting services and didn't coordinate its campaign strategy with him, as some critics have implied.”

    He did, however, see the value of working with a journalist with a sharp conservative philosophy, Thune admitted: "As far as we knew, he was just another reporter at a conservative news organization. We talked to hundreds, if not thousands, of news sources through the course of the campaign. We figured if he was reaching a conservative audience, it was going to be helpful for us."

    But Steve Hildebrand, who was Daschle's 2004 campaign manager, said Friday that Gannon was “more manipulator than reporter in the campaign.” With money from wealthy Republican sources, Gannon generated one-sided news stories, fed to the bloggers, aimed at scuttling Daschle rather than covering news, Hildebrand said.

    "I believe that Jeff Gannon played a role in trying to destroy Tom Daschle," Hildebrand said. "He's proud of his effort to defeat Tom Daschle…If this would have been a liberal reporter who was caught as a gay prostitute advertising himself for sex, John Thune….and the far right would have been attacking him vociferously.”

    Thune paid two local bloggers a total of $35,000 to be “research” consultants.

    "The blogs were a dynamic in the race that didn't exist two years ago," Thune told the Journal. "And there's a lot of frustration among the liberals who now have started their own blogs, that this is a medium they didn't use effectively in the race."

    McCLELLAN & GANNON-SWEETHEARTS!!!!
    What happened to the report out
    of Texas from people who know Scott.
    That before he recently married?
    He only frequented "GAY BARS"!!!
    Some one should dig into that one.
    Maybe Scott got Gannon on the
    Emperor's list?

    This is the first time I have ever been to a blogger site or whatever you call them but you people should be ashamed of yourselves. You just jump all over this guy and automatically assume the worst scenerio is the true one. What if by some chance he is telling the truth? If he is lying then shame on him and he deserves it, but if he isn't lying and everthing he said is true, then you just ruined a person's life without giving it a thought. Like I said before, you should all be ashamed of yourselves. I'd put my name on this but I'm sure within two days you people would just ruin my life just because that's obviously what you people do.

    I saw one of his ads online at BUZZ FLASH -When the story first broke but they have been taken down now. He was naked with his private parts blocked out!
    That's false advertising.
    Must be a scam?

    "Have They No Shame? No, Actually, They Don't:

    The American left has been guilty of many contemptible actions over the past twenty years, but few are so deeply offensive as its treatment of Jim Guckert, aka Jeff Gannon (His real name is Guckert, but he adopted Gannon as a pen name). Gannon is, apparently, a homosexual with a rather sordid past, including stints working as a gay escort. He is now trying to make a career for himself as a reporter; until a week or two ago, he worked for the online Talon News Service. He was able to get one-day-at-a-time passes to attend White House press briefings, where he committed the unpardonable sin of asking questions that had a pro-Bush administration twist. (Sort of like Helen Thomas, only in reverse, and nowhere near as one-sided.)

    The presence of a Bush-friendly journalist in the White House press corps was taken by the left as a deep affront. A study conducted a few years ago found that the White House press corps is 90% Democratic; apparently the left won’t be satisfied until the figure is 100%. So liberals began “investigating” Gannon. They found that he was a homosexual and started posting photos of him on their web sites, along with vicious personal attacks. Gannon, stunned by the virulence of the left’s attack on him, quit his job at Talon. Subsequently, a low-life named John Aravosis who is a gay activist and has a web site, found nude photos of Gannon and posted them online.

    Ever since this “story” broke, we have been inundated by emails from leftists demanding to know why we aren’t covering it. Actually, we have done a single post on the controversy, which explained why we don’t think there is any story there. The claims against Gannon are:

    1) He isn’t a “real” journalist. News for the left: you don’t have to take a test. He was working as a reporter until you drove him out of the business.

    2) He was a Bush administration plant. There is, of course, no evidence for this whatsoever. And don’t you think that if the administration decided to “plant” a journalist to ask friendly questions, they could come up with someone with a bit more distinguished pedigree? The real issue here is that Democrats believe that Democratic press secretaries should be asked friendly questions, and Republican press secretaries should be asked unfriendly questions.

    3) He had something–God knows what–to do with the Valerie Plame story. Again, no one has ventured a coherent explanation of this theory, let alone bothered to hint at what the evidence for it might be. Given that Ms. Plame was last seen posing for Vanity Fair in a “spy” outfit, I don’t think we’re on the trail of an espionage breakthrough here. And wasn’t it supposed to be Karl Rove who tipped off Bob Novak?

    The bottom line is that there isn’t any story here, other than the bottomless depravity of liberals in America. How any of their purported “grievances” against Gannon justifies posting nude photos of him is inexplicable."

    To 16-time loser anonymous, if we follow your illogical logic, even though proof-positive has been posted with a picture of Gannon in all his glory and manhood advertising as a male escort, it's just more lefty-wacko dissimulation, of the same type that insists the world is round and two plus two is five.
