As I understand it,this is Watergate 2

[Texasforever]

I hope that was sarcasm.

[nutmeg]

bump

[woofie]

yes it was

[DaiHuy]

Let's see, Barney Frank lived with a guy who was running a male prostitution ring out of Barney's house, that is ok. This Gannon character acts as a male chaperone, and that is bad.

I see Dem justice is alive and well.

[TFine80]

Yeah, but it still is pretty bizarre nonetheless...

I guess the Dem/DU angle is that the Bush people intentionally put him in there or looked the other way because of his right-wing slant. But it's just becoming farcical now.

[woofie]

Yea but you dont find Barney Frank in the press room

[DaiHuy]

Sorry, I meant male escort.

[Howlin]

As I understand it,this is Watergate 2

Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein will be right along to assure you that "nothing" that even happens is "bigger" than Watergate.

[woofie]

Yep

"The final straw for Guckert came when bloggers revealed associations that Guckert and his Delaware-based company had with a handful of gay-themed male escort services."

Where are all the homosexual activists protesting the MSM and leftist bloggers for saying homosexuals are inept reporters?

[Lancey Howard]

As I understand it,this is Watergate 2

Yes. This is bigger than trying to fix a Presidential election using forged miltary documents. This is bigger than big. This guy Gannon must not get away with - - whatever it is he did.

I've worked for five small town newspapers and nobody has ever even asked for an application. Usually, they just have me fill out the tax forms. This is such a crock.

The Wash. Post and others are going to regret making this opening to check reporters backgrounds. They're shooting themselves in the face. Also, I suppose it's not necessary to point out on Freep that if this were a liberal writer, and someone outed them, nobody would care if they had worked for an escort service. Only conservatives get outed by the "caring" liberals, because they're hoping for a backlash from conservatives against the writer.

[woofie]

He was a bad "right wing" reporter and he asked softball questions so he should have been shot

Yes, the unilateral Dem justice is working again. A Dem president is impeached, gives national security information to our enemies, lies to the American public openly, and is involved with numerous other "questionable" issues...hardly makes the papers...but a male prostitute asks news questions, and you would think WW3 had just started.

Yes, the MSM, continues its political purpose in life.

Yeah, he used a fake name. We should sic Gerald Riviera on him.

Last week, Democrat activist Eason Jordan, the man behind the now infamous liberal "news" service CNN, insisted that before hiring "Wolf Blitzer" as his White House correspondent, he never looked into Blitzer's background. If true, Jordan probably wishes he had. And the same could be said for the White House officials who bent the rules to make way for him in the press briefing room as "Wolf Blitzer." There's new evidence that the CNN reporter, who lobbed softball questions at Clinton during press conferences on behalf of a dubious news operation, recently worked as a male impersonator.

Blitzer, whose real name is Irving Myron Federman, Jr., and Jordan made headlines last week when Jordan resigned from CNN after days of intensive scrutiny from bloggers. Online critics first raised questions about their questionable journalistic methods and their lack of ethics (they often cut and pasted pieces of White House press releases selectively and out of context into their "news" stories), as well as CNN's lack of independence from the DNC. Then questions arose about why the CNN operation was given access to Saddam Hussein's press room after becoming aware of Saddam's atrocities. The final straw for Jordan came when bloggers revealed associations that Jordan and his New-York-based company had with a handful of left-wing third-way elite world-government advocates meeting in Davos.

Apparently gay bashing is OK if used in a leftist cause.

In the interest of full disclosure "Woofie" is not my real name.
