14. That Drawing Looks Very Familiar.
Is that Jeffie, holding up the White House? He made ebay history, ranking right-up there with Mickie-D's Abe French Fries and the aged-old partially bitten-into bakery item of Jesus.

Hysterial. Really, funny!

15. Item # & description
Jeff Gannon James JD Guckert White House Credential
actual laminated all access pass - historical!
Item number: 3957884948

Although we don't yet know who issued this official White House press credential ("not my job" claims Scott McClellan)...you can now own this piece of history. Talon News ace reporter James J.D. Guckert AKA Jeff Gannon regularly obtained high White House security clearance and actually sat just a few feet away from President George W. Bush and other high ranking officials, just by flashing this ID card. In most cases, obtaining such access by a journalist takes years of journalism school, tons of work in the field while moving up the ladder to become White House correspondent....Jeff did it with hard work in just two months with a journalist course he signed up for from the cover of a book of matches. Ah, the American dream!

Not two months.

30. Definitely, but just in case you don't have an eBay account
Here are the current questions and answers:

Q: PS I see your address is in WPB. If it was PB I would wonder why Rush had so much free time on his hands. (We used to live in WPB ourselves.) Answered on Feb-12-05
A: Even Palm Beach has its riffraff..

Q: Your item was linked on my all time favorite web site that has discussion threads and... well, anyway, THANK DOG for small favors. Best of luck with your item. Helen Thomas deserves a Purple Heart for her battles in the WH press room. Answered on Feb-12-05
A: I'm just thrilled for the link on spongebobsquarepants.com

Q: Are you aware that Fox is now comparing Jeff's "name change" to Mark Twain's? Would you have Twain's press pass for auction as well? Answered on Feb-12-05
A: To lodge all power in one party and keep it there is to insure bad government and the sure and gradual deterioration of the public morals. - Mark Twain's Autobiography

Q: Would you please tell Jeff that Crisco is ALSO used for baking? Thanks, Betty Cocker. Answered on Feb-12-05
A: ouch.

Q: If I buy this press pass, do I get a free porn URL to go with it? Is Mr. Gannon/Guckert going to include HotMilitaryStuds.com maybe? Just toss it in as a bonus :-) After all, from what I understand, he's not in THAT business anymore, eh.. uhm, I mean NEVER WAS, but he bought those for a "client" and isn't using them, right? Answered on Feb-12-05
A: sorry, those URL's are really going to cost you...

Q: Is this a for real item or humour -- or both? Answered on Feb-12-05
A: yes?

Q: love the jeff gannon "item"! WAY TO GO, TIGER-PEANUT!!! Answered on Feb-12-05
A: aww shucks..

Q: Great eBay item! You know I read that Gannon/ Guckert spent $50 for a weekend seminar on journalism at the Leadership Institute. So it only took him a weekend, not months. From the Leadership Institute, Guckert got a part-time job at Talon News as a stringer and rose through the ranks to become White House Bureau Chief, and possibly gain access to classified CIA documents. Wow!!! Answered on Feb-12-05
A: JD...the deal was I sell the pass for you and you stay away...stop bragging already!

Q: Wow, what a bargain! I had to pay $250,000 for Armstrong Williams' White House press pass. GWB, errr "BWG." Answered on Feb-12-05
A: True, but you got his soul along with the pass...

Q: Just to clarify --- is he really wearing a dress? Answered on Feb-12-05
A: It's a kimono.

Q: I cannot wait for the Daily Show on Monday - why can I picture Rob Corddry trying to get accredited? With any luck golden_palace_casino will get wind of this auction! Answered on Feb-12-05
A: I hate to break this to you, but Rob is actually Jon Stewart in a bald wig...

Q: With the splendidly-executed Iraqi election in mind, and knowing that Democrats and the liberal media are out of touch with reality and collapsing, how are you going to inva... er intice Korea back to the 6 party talks with only one invalid WH press credential? Answered on Feb-12-05
A: There is an opening at talonnews.com, you sound like a natural for the gig..

Q: That was far less than two months of training in journalism. It was just two days at a $50 conservative workshop. Answered on Feb-12-05
A: yep, but it takes a while to paper train them following the workshop...

Q: Thanks for the laugh. I hope Scotty at the White House sees this one, too. Answered on Feb-12-05
A: Your welcome. He'd probably deny any knowledge of Ebay.

Q: That's hilarious! The GOPUSA Guckert/Gannon/Military Porno Stud credentials. I am so happy he was outed. His side just hates it when we expose their hypocrisy. They are howling like wounded weasels over this. Love it! Mary P. Tucson, AZ Answered on Feb-12-05
A: Thanks Mary...a wounded weasel is exactly what Rush sounds like on any given day

Q: I noticed that this marvelous press pass has a gorgeous picture of the White House, which features several tiny windows. Quick question...is that Karl Rove peeking through one of the windows, licking the glass with his tongue and winking at Gannon? Just curious. Thanks! Answered on Feb-12-05
A: Karl Rove, George Bush, Dick Cheney and the gang all have issues...(and I'm afraid you might have a couple too)...

Q: Oh, yeahhhh? Michael Moore is fat! Kerry windsurfs! David Brock is gay too! Why do liberals hate America? Clinton's penis! Monica! Hillary! Flip-flop! YEEARGH! Answered on Feb-12-05
A: Mr. President, I'm honored that you stopped by my auction, can I buy ya a beer?

Q: priceless! Answered on Feb-12-05
A: so bid already!

Q: who knew there were so many uses for ebay? thanks for a chuckle. i say let's continue to think of ways to use this forum as a billboard. Answered on Feb-12-05
A: let's just hope the good folks at Ebay have the same sense of humor and let's this auction continue... it's probably one Homeland Security phone call away from being done.

Q: I saw your Guckert ID thing and I have only four words for you: YOU ARE MY HERO! This thing is all over the blogisphere. It is being hailed and so are you. Thanks for the lovely laugh. Answered on Feb-12-05
A: We certainly need the laugh. Since this auction is catching on, in exchange for an autograph from Michael Moore, I will pledge to donate half of whatever the top bid is to www.ActBlue.com

Q: If I too change my name, and shave me head, will Scottie be able to tell the difference, or will I be able to attend White House presss briefings as the 'real' Jeff Gannon? Answered on Feb-12-05
A: I'm sorry Helen Thomas (I recognized your email), but even if you shaved your head and changed your name you will not be able to get so much as the time of day from Scott McClellan..

Q: Is that really his picture? I thought he was bald. Just trying to determine the validity of your pass! Answered on Feb-12-05
A: Mr. Gannon/Guckert was obviously trying to hold onto his youth by providing such a dated photo to the White House...for a more recent photo: http://tinyurl.com/4fl32

Q: If I carry this pass will my family be stalked by those evil liberal bloggers? Answered on Feb-12-05
A: Evil liberal bloggers have learned to fight fire with fire...if a Republican needs to be stalked we must make it so...

Q: OMG!! I LOVE your auction! I wish you the best of luck - it should bring you MILLIONS! Answered on Feb-12-05
A: Thanks, this collector's item is too valuable to keep around the house...maybe it can go on tour with a grilled cheese sandwich and haunted canes and such...

I loved the wood sale over at eBay, after the debate. I wish I had saved the comments from that one, too.

42. Now it is up to $78.01 . . .
I really have to think the auction owner is a DU'r, judging from the answers to the questions . . .


Q: "I first came across him two years ago when I was deputy press secretary and he started covering the White House," McClellan said about Guckert's identity. "I knew he asked questions from a conservative viewpoint, but that was all." Which is precisely why McClellan came across him. Answered on Feb-14-05

A: The question begging for an answer is how, in the post 9/11/ Patriot Act/ Code Orange, Yellow, Fucshia country in which we live, does a person with a false identity conduct business in the White House on a daily basis, let alone within a few feet of a sitting President? If bloggers can research this info from the public domain, shouldn't we expect the same from our government?


Q: Why was someone with connections to male prostitution given unfettered access to the White House and copies of internal CIA documents? Answered on Feb-14-05

A: Helen Thomas has had that very same question tatooed on her forehead today in hopes of getting a response from the White House.


Q: Americablog.org has better pictures of Jeff than this. Caution, not worksafe; close the door first. Answered on Feb-14-05

A: Quite the chameleon, wouldn't you say? The moniker "cartoon character" fits him better each day... still, the question remains: Who in the White House gave him the credential and how did he pass an even cursory background check?


Q: You rock!! HAHAHAHAHA!!!! Inspired genious, I tell ya! Laughed till I thought I'd pee my pants!! Answered on Feb-14-05

A: Thousands of geniuses live and die undiscovered--either by themselves or by others. Mark Twain


Q: Is this the real pass, and did you write crayions all over it? Or is it a joke? Answered on Feb-14-05

A: Yes?


Q: Is it toast yet? Answered on Feb-14-05

A: Toast being served any minute at http://www.americablog.org/


Q: instead of the crayon drawing of me on the badge, would you please sell one w/ the pic of me in my underwear? ok, so you're here..... still sexy after all these years..... http://members.aol.com/jdg17/ Answered on Feb-14-05

A: The president won the election with 62,028,719 over Kerry's 59,028,550 and claimed he had a mandate..hmmmm


Q: Iz axing the preznit hard kweshins scaree? Answered on Feb-14-05

A: Thanks Billy - unfortunately, no one has yet to ever ask Preznit Bush a hard question in a very long time, because they are afraid they'll get no turkee.


Q: *The naughty neocon Guckert *Was adept at arse-kissing and suckert *So cloven-hoofed Rove *Gave him a new name, by jove *Now it looks like he's right out of luckert ...well...you try to find a rhyme for "Guckert!" Answered on Feb-14-05

A: here goes...There once was a White House correspondent named Gannon...who worked for an outfit called Talon; his feelings got hurt when blogs called him out for being a paid lying shill for the Bush White House and the regular independent media wondered if Guckert favored a skirt. Just saying..


Q: Would it be possible to get Rove's signature on this as well??? Perhaps one that for a change is NOT written with disappearing ink. Answered on Feb-14-05

A: Sources I can't identify swear that Rove also has no reflection in mirrors and casts no shadow...


Q: Hilarious! Answered on Feb-13-05

A: I was going to go for witty but I just witnessed Melissa Etheridge's performance on the Grammys...WOW


Q: When I stop laughing so hard, can I bid. Oh, I'm tearing up here. This is totally priceless. And can you smack the Zellmeister for me. I hate DINOS. Answered on Feb-13-05

A: I'd love to Mom...thanks for stopping by and Happy Valentines Day!


Q: I am willing to publish false propaganda for money and have no real morals, but love to act arrogant and superior to others. Can't I have my own new White House press pass? Answered on Feb-13-05

A: But Rupert, your Fox anchors are already doing such a bang up job....


Q: Do you think Mr. Guckert will have any further use of this press pass? Answered on Feb-13-05

A: I think Mr. G is as welcome in the White House right now as Al Franken... or Howard Stern...

33. A new question by a freeper . . . he doesn't get the humor
Q: You democrats have a strange way of defining 'real journalists'. I guess the NYT, WashPost that lied about WMD, now that is real journalism!!! You're just as bad as they are. Answered on Feb-12-05

A: ya know, tempted as I am, this auction is for a laugh. I'm just going to forward your email to Randi Rhodes and wish you luck...



Anybody have any guesses who the seller is? Seems like his snarky humor is right up DU's alley . . .

36. Another freeper question -- and a couple others. TOO FUNNY!
Q: I've never heard of Randy Rhodes. Is he the one responsible for brainwashing you? Yeah you're just doing it for laughs, but kneejerk partisan mentality is really quite sad. Just a small peice of advice, you democrats should try to hold yourselves to higher standards. Answered on Feb-12-05

A: i before e except after c, not before. and it's Randi with an "I" and he's a she...see, you're never too old to learn new things..


Q: I understand a republican is confused about what constitues "real journalism". That's not surprising, because they all watch Fox. Answered on Feb-12-05

A: Thanks Randi.


Q: This is obviously an authentic White House press pass, so my fear is that I'd be buying stolen merchandise. Can you assure me that I won't be caught up in some 'Secret Service stolen White House pass' sting operation? Answered on Feb-12-05

A: Item is sold as is, caveat emptor. Like Baretta said - Don't do the crime if you can't do the time.

41. Another kick to include additional questions and answers
Q: You should hold yourselves to higher stanrds thatn republicans. Sadly you don't. How that makes me a republican god only knows. I was a die-hard democrat, but when I saw Clinton and Alibright telling me Iraq had WMD, i thought 'these democrats needs a reality check'. The WMD lie was one start by democrats and handed over to Bush like a house-warming gift. So we split the vote in 2000, and you dems refused to reform in 2004. Point is, you think it is bad now, you democrats will find yourself further isolated from the political power structure until you change your ways. Answered on Feb-13-05

A: can I interest you in a Royal Doulton figurine or a vintage fishing lure?


Q: If I win will you throw in lunch with Rove? Nice blog here! Check out dialykos.com. Answered on Feb-13-05

A: When lunching with Rove I recommend 3 martinis...you'll not be able to keep anything else down. And I think you meant to write www.dailykos.com, the other site is Bin Laden's kidney clinic (in a cave near Tibet I hear)..


Q: If this item is related to an impending impeachment, can I use it as a one time border pass to come back in from Canada? Answered on Feb-13-05

A: We've been enjoying some frigid Canadian air this weekend down here...I'm going to make pancakes now.


Q: If I win, can I pay with the "worthless IOU"'s the rightwing nutjobs are saying is in the Social Security trust fund? *Actually it is US treasury bonds, and if as Shrub says they are worthless, then get ready for the Chinese to ask us to pay our tab. In real estate. Answered on Feb-13-05
A: I'll accept gold bullion, money order or Paypal.

Q: Excellent job. I keep trying to figure out how to use Ebay to get the news across. Always amazing how dumb Repugnicans sound isn't it? Like it's a virtue almost!That's what attracts them to Bush, "he's just like them". You'd think theyd'd rather know they've been hoodwinked (bushwhacked) right along with the rest of us, but noooooo...they're gonna defend the lies until Bush is disappearing THEIR kids. Go Randi! Go Malloy! Go Air America, Thom Hartmann...Guy James..wake up Repugnicans...the Truth is coming out,like it or not,and you're going down. Thanks for the auction!!Maybe we can auction the Ann the Man Coulter Love Doll next! Answered on Feb-13-05

A: Arguments have no chance against petrified training; they wear it as little as the waves wear a cliff. Mark Twain


Q: I understand a Republican has accused you of "not holding yourself to higher standards". Let's see -- *Phoney war rationale *Disregarded terror threats pre 9/11 *Looting the treasury, and giving it to rich cronies *Idolizing Rush, while he is higher than the Goodyear Blimp *Waged an illegal, immoral war against a disarmed, sovereign nation *Trying to destroy Social Security "just because" *Lies constantly to the American people "just because" It seems as if we have our work cut out for ourselves, no?

44. Latest Q & A... before they pull the ad



Questions from other buyers for this listing
Q: Why was a partisan hack, using an alias and with no journalism background, given repeated access to daily White House press briefings? Answered on Feb-14-05
A: Suppose you were an idiot. And suppose you were a member of the White House staff. But I repeat myself. (apologies to Mark Twain)
Q: "I first came across him two years ago when I was deputy press secretary and he started covering the White House," McClellan said about Guckert's identity. "I knew he asked questions from a conservative viewpoint, but that was all." Which is precisely why McClellan came across him. Answered on Feb-14-05
A: The question begging for an answer is how, in the post 9/11/ Patriot Act/ Code Orange, Yellow, Fucshia country in which we live, does a person with a false identity conduct business in the White House on a daily basis, let alone within a few feet of a sitting President? If bloggers can research this info from the public domain, shouldn't we expect the same from our government?
Q: Why was someone with connections to male prostitution given unfettered access to the White House and copies of internal CIA documents? Answered on Feb-14-05
A: Helen Thomas has had that very same question tatooed on her forehead today in hopes of getting a response from the White House.
Q: Americablog.org has better pictures of Jeff than this. Caution, not worksafe; close the door first. Answered on Feb-14-05
A: Quite the chameleon, wouldn't you say? The moniker "cartoon character" fits him better each day... still, the question remains: Who in the White House gave him the credential and how did he pass an even cursory background check?
Q: You rock!! HAHAHAHAHA!!!! Inspired genious, I tell ya! Laughed till I thought I'd pee my pants!! Answered on Feb-14-05
A: Thousands of geniuses live and die undiscovered--either by themselves or by others. Mark Twain
Q: Is this the real pass, and did you write crayions all over it? Or is it a joke? Answered on Feb-14-05
A: Yes?
Q: Is it toast yet? Answered on Feb-14-05
A: Toast being served any minute at http://www.americablog.org/
Q: instead of the crayon drawing of me on the badge, would you please sell one w/ the pic of me in my underwear? ok, so you're here..... still sexy after all these years..... http://members.aol.com/jdg17/ Answered on Feb-14-05
A: The president won the election with 62,028,719 over Kerry's 59,028,550 and claimed he had a mandate..hmmmm
Q: Iz axing the preznit hard kweshins scaree? Answered on Feb-14-05
A: Thanks Billy - unfortunately, no one has yet to ever ask Preznit Bush a hard question in a very long time, because they are afraid they'll get no turkee.
Q: *The naughty neocon Guckert *Was adept at arse-kissing and suckert *So cloven-hoofed Rove *Gave him a new name, by jove *Now it looks like he's right out of luckert ...well...you try to find a rhyme for "Guckert!" Answered on Feb-14-05
A: here goes...There once was a White House correspondent named Gannon...who worked for an outfit called Talon; his feelings got hurt when blogs called him out for being a paid lying shill for the Bush White House and the regular independent media wondered if Guckert favored a skirt. Just saying..
Q: Would it be possible to get Rove's signature on this as well??? Perhaps one that for a change is NOT written with disappearing ink. Answered on Feb-14-05
A: Sources I can't identify swear that Rove also has no reflection in mirrors and casts no shadow...
Q: Hilarious! Answered on Feb-13-05
A: I was going to go for witty but I just witnessed Melissa Etheridge's performance on the Grammys...WOW
Q: When I stop laughing so hard, can I bid. Oh, I'm tearing up here. This is totally priceless. And can you smack the Zellmeister for me. I hate DINOS. Answered on Feb-13-05
A: I'd love to Mom...thanks for stopping by and Happy Valentines Day!
Q: I am willing to publish false propaganda for money and have no real morals, but love to act arrogant and superior to others. Can't I have my own new White House press pass? Answered on Feb-13-05
A: But Rupert, your Fox anchors are already doing such a bang up job....
Q: Do you think Mr. Guckert will have any further use of this press pass? Answered on Feb-13-05
A: I think Mr. G is as welcome in the White House right now as Al Franken... or Howard Stern...
Q: Was that last question from Zell? I thought "stanrds" was the clue. This must be one of those people you score great items with on ebay because the "Zeller" can't spell! Sheeple sheeple sheeple..just because you're intelligent, astute, participate in democracy and stay informed, doesn't necessarily mean you are a Democrat now does it? Republicans please use the spellcheck provided for you by Ebay, so we can decipher your rants more easily..although, "it's all Clinton's fault (and "Ali Bright's"), yawn, isn't exactly a new concept from the Repugs. Answered on Feb-13-05
A: Ebay has spellcheck? How 'bout factcheck?
Q: "Royal Doulton figurine or a vintage fishing lure" Sorry those jokes are only funny to you. I like this little blog, it is a fine example of how desperate democrats have become. ABANDON SHIP!!!! THE 'ENDS JUSTIFY THE MEANS' DEMOCRATIC PARTY IS GOING DOWN! Answered on Feb-13-05
A: C'mon, ease up Zell...if we abandon ship who would you have to yell at?
Q: You should hold yourselves to higher stanrds thatn republicans. Sadly you don't. How that makes me a republican god only knows. I was a die-hard democrat, but when I saw Clinton and Alibright telling me Iraq had WMD, i thought 'these democrats needs a reality check'. The WMD lie was one start by democrats and handed over to Bush like a house-warming gift. So we split the vote in 2000, and you dems refused to reform in 2004. Point is, you think it is bad now, you democrats will find yourself further isolated from the political power structure until you change your ways. Answered on Feb-13-05
A: can I interest you in a Royal Doulton figurine or a vintage fishing lure?
Q: If I win will you throw in lunch with Rove? Nice blog here! Check out dialykos.com. Answered on Feb-13-05
A: When lunching with Rove I recommend 3 martinis...you'll not be able to keep anything else down. And I think you meant to write www.dailykos.com, the other site is Bin Laden's kidney clinic (in a cave near Tibet I hear)..
Q: If this item is related to an impending impeachment, can I use it as a one time border pass to come back in from Canada? Answered on Feb-13-05
A: We've been enjoying some frigid Canadian air this weekend down here...I'm going to make pancakes now.
Q: If I win, can I pay with the "worthless IOU"'s the rightwing nutjobs are saying is in the Social Security trust fund? *Actually it is US treasury bonds, and if as Shrub says they are worthless, then get ready for the Chinese to ask us to pay our tab. In real estate. Answered on Feb-13-05
A: I'll accept gold bullion, money order or Paypal.
Q: Excellent job. I keep trying to figure out how to use Ebay to get the news across. Always amazing how dumb Repugnicans sound isn't it? Like it's a virtue almost!That's what attracts them to Bush, "he's just like them". You'd think theyd'd rather know they've been hoodwinked (bushwhacked) right along with the rest of us, but noooooo...they're gonna defend the lies until Bush is disappearing THEIR kids. Go Randi! Go Malloy! Go Air America, Thom Hartmann...Guy James..wake up Repugnicans...the Truth is coming out,like it or not,and you're going down. Thanks for the auction!!Maybe we can auction the Ann the Man Coulter Love Doll next! Answered on Feb-13-05
A: Arguments have no chance against petrified training; they wear it as little as the waves wear a cliff. Mark Twain

46. Welcome to DU!
And, in case you haven't seen the last few questions and answers, here they are:

Q: Would you estimate the length of this pass at 8 inches? Or is that a bit, um, too optimistic. Answered on Feb-15-05

A: sorry to disappoint, it's only 5 1/2", but the width is an impressive 3 1/2", so it could theoretically leave both a mark and an impression...


Q: Robert Novak told me to tell you he didn't think this was 'funny' - the selling of a fake pass of a fake newsperson. Would you like to relay a message back to him? Answered on Feb-15-05

A: Mark Twain had the perfect suggestion for Bob Novak: As by the fires of experience, so by commission of crime you learn real morals. Commit all crimes, familiarize yourself with all sins, take them in rotation (there are only two or three thousand of them), stick to it, commit two or three every day, and by and by you will be proof against them. When you are through you will be proof against all sins and morally perfect. You will be vaccinated against every possible commission of them. This is the only way. Come to think of it, Bob has lots of company for that road in the current administration....


Q: That is not a genuine pass. How do I know this? Because that is a picture of me on the front. Most likely stolen from my passport. I demand reparations. Answered on Feb-15-05

A: All your pictures are belong to us...


Q: Are you sure that this is a genuine pass? Charles Johnson says that the kerning is wrong. And that it's missing the 'kill all muzzies!' watermark. Answered on Feb-15-05

A: Those things sound well, but they are shadowy and indefinite, like troy weight and avoirdupois; nobody knows what they mean. When you buy a pound of a drug and the man asks you which you want, troy or avoirdupois, it is best to say "Yes," and shift the subject. Mark Twain


Q: If I win this item will I have to sleep with anyone at the White House? Much as I would like to party with all the professional media types I just have to draw the line at dancing with karl. Answered on Feb-15-05

A: I dunno, I think the Bush twins might be wondering where all the men are at times...


Q: Just wondering if by chance you are NOT the Jeff Gannon....who does NOT have a blog at www.jeffgannon.blogspot.com --- and if it turns out you are not him, are you still sexy after all these years, too? (Seriously, if you're not him, you're both hilarious!) Answered on Feb-15-05

A: I cannot confirm nor deny my existence...


Q: Is it true that it was closet queen Karl Rove who had originally hired Mr Gannon for his escort services and thus gave him clearance? Answered on Feb-15-05

A: Propagannongate is picking up steam, wouldn't you say? Karl hasn't sweated like this since his last shvitz...
