Rep. Louise M. Slaughter (NY-28), long time champion of media reform and Ranking Member of the House Committee on Rules, sent a letter to President George W. Bush today asking him to explain how discredited "reporter" Jeff Gannon was credentialed as a member of the legitimate media by the White House.

And the discredited "reporters" like Dan Rather of the MSM is more legitimate in some way than internet reporters?! Give me a freakin' break! This is a witch hunt, pure and simple.

Maybe Gannon could go over to the White House like CBS did and just tell them "I promise not to do it again."

Rep. Louise M. Slaughter (NY-28), long time champion of media reform status quo, said in her letter that we have free speech - you do not.

I'd like to ask Ms Slaughter how she "feels" about prosecuting those in the Dem Aisles who were perpetrating nationwide panic in re Republicans "bringing back the draft". That 'lil' tidbid set off major anxiety. It abused teenagers. It was crying FIRE in the sphere of national politics, as tho it was "policy" and under the guise of CREDENTIALED POLITICIANS. Democrats set up a "rumor" as "truth" and then fearmongered nationwide... in the name of "politics".

I would ask Ms. Slaughter one more question:

Ahem.

Ms. Slaughter have you really, really checked out the so-called "allegations"? Are you parrotting Firesign Theatre, Bozos: "All future IDs will be ones that aren't you".

And lastly:

Ms Slaughter where does your charge against Jeff Gannon fit into the overall debate about NATIONAL IDs currently going on?
