The Jeff Gannon story is still bouncing around the Internet, and now there are pictures.
The kind you shouldn't open up in the office.
The X-rated twist has made for a lot of clandestine clicking in a town where Deep Throat conjures images not of a porn star but of a man in a parking garage. But it has also deepened the debate over blogging and the tactics used to drive a conservative reporter from his job as White House correspondent for two Web sites owned by a Republican activist.
In most Beltway melodramas, the resignation ends the story. The problem for Gannon, whose real name is James Dale Guckert, is that he told The Washington Post and CNN's Wolf Blitzer last week that he never launched the Web sites whose provocative names he had registered, such as hotmilitarystud.com. But a Web designer in California said yesterday that he had designed a gay escort site for Gannon and had posted naked pictures of Gannon at the client's request.

YOU are a bona fide troublemaker and instigator.
I hold no brief for buggery but Jeff Gannon is our gay. He had the guts to ask rational questions at the WH and become a thorn in the side of the liberal press.
Yes, just where is the 'big' story? Did Gannon/Guckert present a fabricated news story? Did he secretly meet with Pres Bush to coordinate a question? (lol) Was there any innaccuracy in his reporting that would warrant so much attention?
Just what is the big story? He's gay?
I sure hope so. Tim Russert and Mr Mandy Grunwald, et al, aren't shielding a Republican source, that's for sure.
No, Gary Hart was a leading presidential contender. On the other hand, 99% of the public probably have no idea who "Jeff Gannon" is. I have been on this site for years, and routinely ignored all of JG's articles.
I'm guessing you're part of a posse of clowns.
You saw the pictures?
How about Gary Condit?
These are stupid tacky pictures, but they are NOT hard porn like the loony left like to claim .. and yes, if they are of Jeff .. it was stupid of him to have them on the internet
But please ... the attention that the Howie Kurtz and a few others in the media are giving to this story is a tad over board
It would seem that the left will be the only ones diverted.
I never use the bogus term, homophobia, but I'll make an exception just for you.
Only in that Hart and Gannon dared to 'media' to follow or investigate them....
Now we've got a whole new angle if we want to, because you said it was legitimate....That is not a road they want to go down--Those fools just opened up a whole can of worms///
The key is having a two-pronged assault: against the Old Media with the truth--and against the robed rogues who would say speaking or preaching the truth about the Leftist activists is "hate speech" worthy of jail and damages...
Think of the Philly Five....
....and think then of the new movement to impeach the Florida rogue judge who wants Terri Schaivo dead at any cost.
May the Right rise up in righteous indignation and justice prevail. We the People ARE the Landlords here. Judges are our humble servants. Or shall be.
If you really want to see them go to americablog.org
The phony selective prudish outrage of the media is laughable, as are you.
Drop it.
How did that happen?..This was "out there" when he resigned..He had not been saying "follow me".
Hubris. Alexander Hamilton made a similar dare.
Sorry to tell you, but no one cares. If this were a game of chess, we just took out one of your Bishops (Eason) and Queen (Dan Rather).. you guys got one of our Pawns (Gannon)..
You're not comfortable? That's how gays talk.
If gays want to support and vote for GW and conservatism I have no problem.
Good try.
I don't want to see them, and never indicated that I did.
You indicated you saw them.
Did you or didn't you?
