Liberal blogger Eric Brewer, who writes for the blog BTC News, wrote that a 'reporter' for Air America radio has been given a White House press pass.
Brewer says he met the new 'reporter' while going through security to cover yesterday's White House briefing by Scott McClellan.
The Air America reporter is identified as a lawyer from Aptos, California named Paul Sanford. A quick search shows that Mr. Sanford does have a law practice there, but according to his Website he does not have an education in journalism. However, he is a law professor which might explain his erudite debut question to the White House press secretary:
"There has been a lot of speculation concerning the meaning of the underlying statute in the grand jury investigation concerning Mr. Rove. The question is, have the legal counsel to the White House or White House staff reviewed the statute in sufficient specificity to determine whether a violation of that statute would, in effect, constitute treason?"
McLellan responded,"I think that in terms of decisions regarding the investigation, those are matters for those overseeing the investigation to decide."
Sanford is mentioned in a July 15 article in the Monterey Herald here: KOMY will feature six hours of programming from the liberal Air America broadcast network. The new lineup will include Franken, author of "Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them" and "Rush Limbaugh is a Big Fat Idiot and Other Observations"; commentator Randi Rhodes; Alan Colmes; and Santa Cruz lawyer and Democratic Party activist Paul Sanford, who will be involved with programming 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. every day.
Hmmm....Democratic party activist.....Mr. Sanford will be right at home in the White House press corps.
> Do you mean that libs destroyed him for being gay?
I think it was the nekkid pictures and the escort service.
Not the smartest avocation if you're trying to make it in journalism. I mean, isn't that prostitution enough?? :-)
I suppose I should expand a bit and say that I really don't care if Gannon/Guckert/whoever is gay or not - what he does in his bedroom doesn't concern me. But when the guy's got a clear record of soliciting all over the internet...sorry, but it's time to cut him loose. He's damaged goods, and I can't imagine why anyone would want to expend much energy defending him. Insofar as a "defense" is possible, anyway...
I was just about to post, that if Air America, gets in, I want Jeff Gannon back.

By the way, let's make sure that the Air America representative, uses his real name and has no skeletons in his closet.
I say give them a front and center seat to make asses of themselves.
the reason Gannon was hounded out was he is a gay man. Nobody in the DNC or MSM would allow a gay man to ask questions of a President. /sarcasm off - hat's off to your post.
I was just coming here to say that; Jeff Gannon is the first person I thought of when I read this article.
That would be great! I'd buy tickets to watch! "Mr. President! Do you feel that Article IV, Section 4 of the Constitution of the United States is optional?"
All the WH has to do is check out the threads and give the press pass to a Bushbot Freeper (pick me! pick me!) instead of a Tancredo Freeper and we'll be all set.
heh, I didn't think of it that way...
what the hell for?
Actually, in my opinion, I think it is a good idea (have you ever heard the lunacy or airhead america) Let evryone see the liberals for what they are -whacko loonies! Give them a national stage to be idiots on...
"Pick me! Pick me!"
Pretty funny! I'm still laughing.
And they criticized CNS! Sickening!
But, if he was "destroyed" by anything, wouldn't you agree that it would have been the exposure of his own inappropriate [and illegal] activities?
Not merely a gay man. A gay prostitute. A gay porn model.
Aw, getouttahere with your common sense.
sure hope they check them for detonators and wires first...
