Remember just how far this Gannon scandal goes

[ck4829]

"Jeff Gannon is a pseudonym, he is the only member of the Whitehouse press corps allowed to use a name other than his own legal name (including married female members who wish to use their maiden names)."

So let's take this and run with it as far as we can. Who knows? This could be the beginning of the end for the Bush empire.

1. I've seen claims that Guckert spent time at the Pig Farm

If so, we need to document it via a link.

Also, we need to get screen shots of every post he has ever made at Free Republic. It's all evidence and we need to save every bit of it.

2. He's tied to the Plame case

That in itself could be huge. If it was leaked to him, maybe he'd talk now to keep more dirt from "coming out"

I'm sure he knows who did it.

3. HM. It DOESN'T say that he graduated from Penn State...

It says: Jeff is a graduate of the Pennsylvania State University System and holds a Bachelor of Science in Education. He is also a graduate of the Leadership Institute Broadcast School of Journalism.

Here's a map of the schools in the Penn Higher Ed System:

My theory:

"Jeff Gannon" probably graduated with a degree in Phys. Ed or some other fitness-related education department.

And George W.'s minions gave him press credentials????????

4. What I've been reading around here at DU...

Is that the only true "Journalism" training he's had
was at a two day RNC run class.

No, Kidding.

Link to thread with lots of documents...

12. I think he went to West Chester.

Per this link, which was originally on Gannon's website (he's apparently referring to his fraternity?):

13. Click on the link in reply #4 in this thread and, then . . .

. . . Reply #28 in the linked thread. Perhaps he went to West Chester University?

5. In Addition, Someone Credentialed Him

An internet blogger got credentials, using a pseudonym for access to press briefings in the White House! IN THE WHITE HOUSE!

I've been to D.C. recently. You can't get into the White House without a full background check, a body cavity search, and probably an oath of loyalty. You can't even get NEAR the place.

But, this guy gets access to the place, doesn't use his real name, and has a questionable past. I want to know who GOT this guy in the press pool. Gannon is small potatoes.

6. This is huge also...

in that it shows the utter duplicity of the buffoons of this administration, as well as their complete incompetence. "Mayberry Machiavellis" HAH! They can only wish that they had the wherewithal of Barney Fife!

9. I see it a different way. It's the reason why Bush is in office. They

can really be this careless without fear that anyone is going to challenge them. But nobody counted on the left-wing blogs. The fact that Drudge is silent tells you that the right-wing conspiracy was real. Only information that helps the right gets reported, everything else is stifled or relegated to Friday news.

[Walt Starr]

10. I suspect Drudge is the person who "discovered" Mr. Guckert.

:evilgrin:

7. Remember he's involved in the Plame case, too

This gets stinkier every second!

[hootinholler]

8. How can we get him protection?

We wouldn't want the loss of the job to lead to depression and suicide.

Not Joking!

11. The guy obviously has a close personal friend in the White House.

Perhaps someone he met in his other job as a gay escort.
