We respectfully ask your office to look into how a partisan political organization . . . landed a coveted spot in the White House press corps.

I agree. CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN, the LA Times and the NYTimes should be immediately eliminated from the White House Press Corps.

And I ask why Helen Thomas is credentialed.

[hipaatwo]

Is it me or did I miss her going after Dan Blather.

First I've heard of this *emerging scandal*. I must have been in a cave, last week.

Rep. Louise M. Slaughter

Unfortunate name.

[RtWngr]

Well - that is the difference between Republicans and Democrats. We have to pay the media to get our message across. The dems don't - the media recites their talking points for free.

Why hasn't this Slaughter inquired about Helen Thomas?

[Publius Scipio]

It's only an "emerging scandal" in their fevered imaginations.

[Jazzman1]

Mush ado about NOTHING. The dummos are desperate for ANYTHING that might cast a shadow on W. Truly pathetic people!

[AppyPappy]

I agree with Rep. Slaughter. As a matter of fact, I think the Bush Administration should engage in a comprehensive check of ALL White House reporters and make the results known to the public.

[mystery-ak]

Looky here!

Rep. Louise M. Slaughter ... Unfortunate name.

Yeah. I heard she's thinking about changing her name to Alicia....

[ambrose]

In their little universe, it is...

Of course, these are the same people who thought it was "no big deal" when it was alleged that Clintoon raped women and had his political opponents murdered.

[anniegetyourgun]

For an unfortunate rep.

[BibChr]

Oh, waah.

And you're exactly right. If Gannon is going to be fingered, EVERY presstitute should be examined.

DANG I hope the WH is aggressive on this. It's a PERFECT moment for it, given Rathergate and Toysoldiergate and Easongate.

"According to several credible reports, "Mr. Gannon" has been repeatedly credentialed as a member of the White House press corps by your office and has been regularly called upon in White House press briefings by your Press Secretary Scott McClellan, despite the fact evidence shows that "Mr. Gannon" is a Republican political operative, uses a false name, has phony or questionable journalistic credentials, is known for plagiarizing much of the "news" he reports, and according to several web reports, may have ties to the promotion of the prostitution of military personnel.

WTF? These are serious charges and they are made in the typically Dem infantile, sophomoric fashion. If anything there is not true this guy has certain grounds to take action. "Prostitution of Military"? What is that.

[anniegetyourgun]

HEY LOUISE....TALK TO THE HAND:

[highlandbreeze]

Wow, I didn't realize Terry Moron and Helen Thomas were fair and balanced.

[Cate]
