Dumb Conservative Blogger takes on "Jeff Gannon"?
Here are a few takes on "Jeff Gannon" from COnservative bloggers, surprisingly some of the only you'll find. First Matt Margolis at GOPBLOGGERS aka BlogsForBush:

"I wonder, if the next time a Democrat is elected President and if Kos gets offered press credentials for the White House, will he turn them down because he's admittedly a liberal who can't be objective?"

Next up is Glenn Reynolds:
"If working for a biased news organization disqualifies you, a lot of people have a lot to be worried about. If being involved in a dubious business venture is disqualifying, I suspect a lot of people have a lot to be worried about. I guess I don't see what all this has to do with his job."

Finally Radio talk show host, Worldnetdaily columnist and Blogger Kevin McCollough.
"But liberals-who-lie like Eason Jordan (and sometimes do so for the well being of our enemies - Saddam Hussein) are just loving the not-so-saga of Jeff Gannon. Actually they love contradicting themselves. With Clinton - it was "nobody's business" what someone did in their private life, with a reporter who is relatively unknown it is their business without question."
So apparently it is all about the sex, not that Gannon is a fake name, and that he somehow got into the White House press room with a fake name and asked fake questions.

In regards to KOS, I hope we shouldn't have to explain to this idiot the difference between Kos getting a press pass, and a fake news reporter using a fake name getting a press pass and preferential treatment to ask questions. (SLAPPING FOREHEAD)

1. Blogs for Bush is consistently the most illogical
I've never seen such a tribute to authoritarianism and illogic as is seen in virtually every post at Blogs For Bush. There are conservative blogs which I may disagree with (and even some where from time to time I agree) but which have sensible posts. The writers at Blogs for Bush are totally out of touch with reality.

4. I too read a lot of COnservative blogs
And I was hoping for some honest commentary. Instead I get this BS that looks like it was manufactured off of some talking points memo sent out by Karl Rove himself.

"Tell everyone The Liberals are after Gannon just because he's gay and their the real homophobes here".

"Also simply point out that all reporters are biased and that Gannon simply was a fresh voice."

"Also please avoid acknowledging that the guy used a fake name and writes for a bogus news organization that has no business getting a press credential unless he has friends in high places. Must counter any comparisons liberals may try to make of this and the old Soviet and Chinese propoganda government run news arms."

2. When someone's income depends
When a person's livelihood depends on his not being able to understand something, you can be sure he'll live in a state of constant bamboozle.

3. Pretty predictable
Any outrage by conservative journalists is excused by the terrible evil being done by the monsters in the liberal media.

5. Understanding these knuckledraggers is fruitless
Take one nice sized hammer, smack self in head till unconscious, when you wake up you'll understand the futility.
