Jeff Gannon responds to DU

I'm sure most people here are by now familiar with Jeff Gannon, the "reporter" who lobs biased, softball questions during White House press conferences.
Media Matters has previously reported that Gannon works for "Talon News," an organization which is connected to GOPUSA and Free Republic.
Gannon was #2 on the Top 10 Conservative Idiots list last week for referring to Hillary Clinton and Harry Reid as "people who seem to have divorced themselves from reality" while asking George W. Bush a question at a recent press conference.
We got an email from him over the weekend. It said:

Whats the hold up? My company cannot western union the funds to you untill we have that photo.
Funny how when an individual speaks the truth nowadays, all hell breaks loose.
Well, he's demonstrably wrong here. Hillary and Harry could never be divorced from reality -- they were never married to it to begin with.

Great! The best laugh of the morning! Thanks:
"Well, he's demonstrably wrong here. Hillary and Harry could never be divorced from reality -- they were never married to it to begin with."
We need to:
a) Find out if this is true.
b)Drown these idiots out when we find it isn't true, but more an attempt at politics of personal destruction.
What is Gannon's screenname? His website seems to be gone.
3. Figure out how to spin it if it's all true??
Won't be a popular position here, but there are serious questions about how daily press credentials were issued to somebody using a fake name.
When it comes out who authorized his credentials, and who was paying him, it's not likely to be good. Time for damage control.
So where's the full list of the top ten? Kudos to Jeff but who are the others?
