So much Gannon news. Figured I'd give you a brief breather.
My appearance on CNN will now be at a few minutes after 10pm EST, on Aaron Brown's show. I'm still trying to narrow down the talking points - you really only want two, maybe three, points max that you're trying to get across. Suggestions for the top two points I should get across?

Atrios catches GannonGuckert a bit factually-challenged
by John in DC - 2/10/2005 07:08:53 PM
From Atrios:
Truly Devout
Today on Blitzer's pathetic interview, whiny JD Guckert claimed that people (bad evil liberals) had followed him to church.
Anything's possible, I suppose, but his real name was first revealed to the world Monday night at 11:54pm, after the week's prime churchgoing day was long over.
And, Guckert himself declared:
I'm a two-holiday Christian and I usually vote Republican because they most often support conservative positions.
Now, we could imagine that he's Catholic and one of those two holidays is Ash Wednesday, but Ash Wednesday happened after he announced that he quit, so, it's hard to imagine that people following him to church after he quit was the reason he quit...
And, to NPR he claimed:
FOLKENFLIK: It's hard to check what Gannon's real interests might be because he doesn't write under his real name. Monday, before his resignation, when Gannon spoke to NPR he said his family had been harassed ever since that press conference.
"That press conference" refers to the Bush conference from a couple weeks ago. Since, as he told Wolf, when he says "family" he means mother, brother, and sister-in-law, one wonders how all these evil people found them when, you know, NOBODY KNEW HIS REAL NAME.
Gosh journalisming is shur hard.
