White House flack corps - Gannongate heating up?
From the Palm Beach Post:

"A man who posted his image on gay pornographic Web sites uses an alias and gets within a few feet of the president. Problem? Yes, but not as big as the problem it reveals."
<snip>
"James D. Guckert was "Jeff Gannon" when he spent nearly two years with the White House press corps. He wasn't a journalist. He was a plant, installed to ask Democrat-bashing softball questions of Mr. Bush and employed by two online organizations — Talon News and GOPUSA — that are financed by a Bush backer and pass off right-wing rantings as news."
<snip>
"Press secretary Scott McClellan tried to dismiss Guckert/Gannon's deception, saying, "People use aliases all the time." Yes, if they're criminals. Since the administration has detained several hundred terrorism "suspects" who have aliases, there's more than a bit of irony in Mr. McClellan's dismissal of such deceptions."
