Reporter with prostitution links and false name got access to Bush; Questions surface on relationship with White House staff


Questions fly on Guckert’s relationship with White House

RAW STORY

The former White House reporter for the conservative website Talon News, who resigned after his links to military escort domains appeared on the Web, is said to have paid two individuals to set up a site on which he intended to prostitute himself, RAW STORY has learned.

These individuals claim to have invoices which show the name of the reporter Jim Guckert’s personal business as paying for the website’s development.

AmericaBLOG’s John Aravosis has discovered previous images of the site through an Internet service which keeps records of sites that have been taken down. The images of the site seem to definitively show Guckert in various indiscrete poses. The images also match with images of Guckert that have appeared in the press, down to personal accoutrements, such as his watch.

1. What Goes Around,

sure does come back around! And "they" claim they didn't know. When will their supporters wake-up!

[Skidmore]

2. So ,does this mean that if you throw McClellan against the wall

he'll stick too?

3. "various indiscrete poses" -

wow - now that is a polite way of saying it!

i defer to gay men's take on this - but to ME this guy was NOT HOT in any sense of the word...

4. This guy is clearly a gay whore, who cares

next!

5. I think it's important to reveal everything we can

The wingnuts investigated Clinton until they found something. Why should we stop? Outing McClellan would be a HUGE story. Not a huge story for normal, logical thinking people like us, but for hypocritical fundies and their friends. Imagine what they'd do if they found out that their Holy Leader Shrub was using a gay person as his mouthpiece?

Keep digging... don't take anything for granted. It may be something totally benign that brings the end to the tyranny.

6. My gut tells me Guckert's doing Scott McClellan

but there's just no proof, yet. I understand that McClellan's mother is Carol Keeton Rylander (add another name here, and so on...) who is Texas Comptroller. Keeton Rylander used to be a Democrat and was mayor of Austin, Tx. (I even know some of her old Democrat friends that still shake their heads when they talk about her becoming a Republican.) Surely there's someone in Austin that could out McClellan if he was gay. But there'd have to be pics because no one would just take someone's word. If McClellan is indeed gay, at some point there maybe there would be some kind of connection to Guckert.

on edit:
Well, I'll be damned! Look what I found in the Raw Story article bouncing around today. I hadn't read it until just now...

"RAW STORY has been told that the White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan visited a gay bar in Austin, Texas, on March 19, 1995. The date was placed exactly as a local memorial service was held on the same day.

The source, who would only comment on condition of anonymity, reserved comment on whether McClellan was actually gay, but said he was frequently seen at gay clubs. Another source also confirmed this account.

“He was often seen in gay clubs in Austin, Texas and was comfortable being there,” the Texan said. “He’s been seen in places that normal people who are looking for heterosexual relationships are not seen alone.”

According to a White House transcript, McClellan is married, and Gannon sent the press secretary a wedding card. The White House, however, declined to comment.

“He was the mayor’s son in town, everybody knew who he was,” the source added, referring to McClellan’s mother Carole Keeton Strayhorn.

At press time, a message for Strayhorn, controller for the state of Texas has gone unanswered. Strayhorn is considered a hot future prospect for the Texas governor’s mansion.

Guckert joined the White House press corps under former White House Press Secretary Ari Fleischer. McClellan was Fleischer’s deputy at the time.

Several calls placed to the White House and McClellan’s office today were not returned. The White House transferred the call to various offices and took detailed accounts of the information in this story, but refused to comment.

The White House has been aware of the allegations about McClellan’s sexuality since at least September."
