I was shocked that Corn would pass up an opportunity to bash Bush, even if it would be with such a flimsy "scandal". If he isn't careful he will end up on the liberal blog posse's hit list.

Corn's focus seems to be the trail of the evidence ~ he pursued it to see if there was any sort of story in Guckert getting access to classified memos that he, Corn, didn't already have. That might well indicate some sort of personal betrayal by his own sources in the White House and CIA.

He found a dead end at the Wall Street Journal.

Satisfied, he moves on.

I had read him for years when I was a faithful Nation subscriber. I found him fair.

Corn sees any credibility for lefty blogs going down the urinal. This was hail mary pass to them hoping they'd wake up and smell the rotting flesh.

Should a lesbian reporter who works at the Wall Street Journal or at any metropolitan daily that editorializes against gay marriage be outed? Reporters are not elected officials. They do not legislate the behavior of others.

Great point totally missed by the the left loony wing of the dem party.

Once Gannon/Guckert became an issue, his past--or present--as a male hooker was newsworthy, at least in a descriptive sense. But as a line of attack against him, it may be too much. I recognize this distinction might be hard to draw. But he has been hounded for being a gay male hooker.
Should we even care if a reporter is moonlighting on the side in this fashion? I don't--let Helen Thomas be a professional dominatrix in her free time--unless that reporter explicitly claims to be a person of family values or publicly decries homosexuality or prostitution. I have not seen evidence that Gannon/Guckert struck such a stance.

David Corn must have some very strange dreams
