Gannon was in WH press brief 2/28/2003 - Talon started March 29, 2003

[BR_Parkway]

Just found this over at KOS

MCLELLAN: 'My understanding was, when he started coming to the White House about two years ago, the staff asked to see that it -- that he represented a news organization that published regularly. And they showed that, so he was cleared and has been cleared ever since based on that time.'

Ladies & gentlemen, he did NOT represent Talon when he first got in the White House - 'Talon News' did not EXIST until Mar 29 2003 and that was LESS than 2 yrs ago.

Further we have a 'Jeff Gannon' claiming on Mar 5 2003 to have been at a White House press briefing where he asked Ari Fleischer the question above.

Was Feb 28 2003 his first time in the White House - or does McClellan's 'more than 2 yrs ago' comment mean that 'Gannon' was in the White House posing as a reporter with NO NEWS SERVICE (not even Talon!) to hide behind.

They even have a screen capture from the C-SPAN video:

1. I wonder how Scotty is going to explain this one?

[merh]

48. Gannon was reporting for GOPUSA News in February 2003

2. They are getting careless

Now that the Bushies control everything I guess they are getting complacent and careless about getting their lies straight.

[tridim]

12. And their media buyout plans are working perfectly..

They just didn't count on the Blogs. Suck it BushCo.

kurtz must know who it is because he's absolutely shaky over this thing.

[ISUGRADIA]

5. And just four months after a glowing review from a client on

an escort site. Quick career change for Guckert.

[tabasco]

9. I never thought the term media whore would ...

become so literal.

Fascist movements are often accompanied with great depravity.

The Bush corporate cabal is no different.

[oasis]

6. We need to stay on top of Gannon. He may be the key to breaking the

Plame case wide open.

[diamond14]

13. 'gannon' has NO MORALS....he'll sing sing sing a song......

he's just such a SLEEZE....'gannon' will do ANYTHING to keep out of prison...he'll sing...and point fingers, and SQUEAL....and OUT everyone involved in the Plame TREASON against the USA....

[tavalon]

21. If you are right

then he won't be allowed to remain alive. Poor Jeffie may be found hanging in his bedroom.

I think one of the reasons JD is trying to stay in the limelight right now is because he knows his life is in danger.

[tridim]

42. "Poor Jeffie may be found hanging in his bedroom"

and one guess who the media will blame? Certainly not BushCo, or themselves. They'll blame the Liberal bloggers for causing so much pain and suffering for poor Jeffie. Maybe we should be making nice with Jeff? Get him on our side.

[Johonny]

16. Stay on top?

Insert joke here...

17. insert joke here

you just inserted.

joke.

you are stand up comic. hee hee hee

38. uh....

I think Gannon is the top...lol

j/k

[fooj]

7. Oops...looks like this is out of control for the boy-toy and his "clients"

What a good day this has become!

[coffeenap]

8. So, why did Ari Fleischer quit? Someone remind me...nt

[DearAbby]

10. Follow the Money...Who is paying Gannon

[BR_Parkway]

11. And paying enough to owe the State of DE over $9K plus penalties and

interest, currently over $20K according to earlier posts

[kohodog]

27. How much did he make with his side gig?

And how did he report it? Service fees?

[Warren Stupidity]

36. exactly.

Talon's reporters are volunteers. So how did Gannon pay his bills over the last two years?


Just saw the scrawl on CNN: Gay Sex For Hire Scandal Rocks Bush Administration!

Just kidding.

[Must_B_Free]

44. My hunch on Fleischer

was that is was unseemly for Israel for a Jew to be viewed as Bush's lead liar. Now given all the Israeli Neocons running the Pentagon, this may be far off base, however Fleischer was a "face". Interesting that his brother Mike was put in charge of the failed economic redevelopment of Iraq which all but excluded Iraqis.

47. His Response On May 19, 2003

Great question by Russell Mokhiber...he rarely gets to ask questions but when he does they're zingers.

Ari & I
White House Press Briefing with Ari Fleischer
Monday, May 19, 2003 - 1:15 PM
by Russell Mokhiber

Mokhiber: Ari, one of your predecessors, Jerald terHorst, resigned as President Ford's press secretary, he said, as a matter of conscience - because he couldn't defend President Ford's pardon of President Nixon. I was wondering, is there anything President Bush has done as President, that made you think, even for a moment, that you would resign as a matter of conscience?

Ari Fleischer: No.

Mokhiber: Not for a moment.

Fleischer: Not for a moment. Why should there be?

Mokhiber: Well -

Fleischer: Like I said, this is a man in whom I believe deeply. One of the things that is so fascinating about this job is that is a job that is very hard to leave. There is a tremendous attraction to the White House, there is a tremendous sense of worth, of serving the President of the United States - any President. It is a hard place to leave, because it such an attractive place to be, and especially when you work for a man, like President Bush, in whom I believe so deeply. But ultimately, it still comes down to having a sense of yourself and knowing when it is time to go. And like I said this morning, I never intended to be a government for life type. After 21 years, I'm looking forward to pursuing different adventures, different chapters, spending more time the way most Americans do - which is quietly with your family."

The old "spending more time with my family" routine.
I think his mother made him do it. She's a Democrat. :)

[MADem]

55. Disgust, maybe?

I've made these points on other threads....

McClellan came WITH the Texas crew, he was the "Ari" when the Chimp was governor.

Sometimes the "front man" isn't the one with the most clout. McClellan was the Deputy, but he knew the Chimp better than Ari did.

Ari looked RELIEVED to be leaving the job.

I have to wonder what Ari might say if he was able to speak freely. He comes from a family of Democrats....

[slay]

14. Maybe if Gannon were to shoot flames from his eyes the MSM might pay atten

tion to this INCREDIBLE story. :eyes:

Once again, the internet proves to be the people's only source for real news.

[spanone]

15. It begs the question...who was GanGuck working for then????

[spanone]

18. KICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

N/T

[Goldmund]

19. VOTE FOR GREATEST PAGE

Nice fucking catch!!

[chicofaraby]

20. Is it true that Gannon isn't his real name?

I heard it was Manica Lewinsky....;)

[spanone]

22. Another Kick. Check it out folks. TALON NEWS DID NOT EXIST.

[BR_Parkway]

23. Nope, but someone knew - the question is WHO?

[spanone]

26. And who was paying him. And if he didn't write for anyone??????????????

WTF was he doing there????

[jdj]

24. yes, this is a great catch.

Hollywood Elites Duck Iraq War Debate
By Jeff Gannon
GOPUSA News
March 11, 2003

WASHINGTON (GOPUSA News) -- Ten of Hollywood's loudest "anti-war" activists were recently invited to debate public policy and military experts about a war in Iraq, but none of them showed up. Frontiers of Freedom (FOF), a non-profit think tank, sponsored the event at the National Press Club. Invited to appear were George Clooney, Matt Damon, Mike Farrell, Janeane Garofolo, Ethan Hawke, Tim Robbins, Susan Sarandon, Martin Sheen, Barbra Streisand, and Uma Thurman.
"Six weeks ago we sent an open-ended invitation to these celebrities to appear at a fair and honest debate," said Jason Wright, Vice President of FOF.
"Most never responded at all -- those that did said no. It's one thing to exercise free speech, which we fully support, but when you command attention as they do it is shameful to rattle off inaccuracies and traditional liberal tripe then quickly bury your head in the sand when faced with opposition. In fact, it's shameful," Wright said.
FOF president George Landrith added that Hollywood claims war is never the answer, regardless of the threat. "To those who ask why we're picking on Hollywood, it's simple. They have power and influence on culture but no accountability. They are in a unique position to spout off whatever they like without a challenge. Hollywood stars have no expertise and no sense of history. They regurgitate talking points without a care," Landrith said.
Landrith continued, "As to the issue of Saddam himself, it's not that complicated. The only reason he is feigning cooperation and allowing the inspectors to return is that he does not want the U.S. armed forces to return."
Bob Bevelacqua, former U.S. Army Major and defense consultant, expressed disappointment that Hollywood was not represented at the debate. "I hoped to share with them details of a video I was shown recently in a high-level briefing at the Pentagon," Bevelacqua said.
"I've seen some pretty disgusting things but what I just saw in this video, which I hope will soon be made public, was shocking. Saddam uses rape rooms, keeps prep rooms for the rapists to prepare themselves, even tapes and then edits them to be sent to the families of the raped women. I would like to hear what Hollywood says about that. Bombs, nerve agents, and canisters are one thing, but when you attach faces, it's another story. Is action in Iraq just? It is absolutely just, and the time is now," Bevelacqua said.
Retired U.S. Navy Capt. Chuck Nash compared the situation in Iraq to a disease. "We have been treating this disease with over-the-counter measures. We must make a commitment to stop fighting the disease from afar. We must go to the center, and we must stop fighting the symptoms."
On the issue of human shields, Nash added that most of the young people have left Baghdad, determined not to put their lives at risk. "But over 300,000 other young men and women are in the area," he said. "They are courageously standing, honoring their commitment. United we should and must stand."
"There are a few great 'Hollywood Lies'," concluded Peter Hussey, a veteran of three administrations and a respected defense consultant. "One is that inspections work. Mike Farrell likes to say that the job of inspectors is to go and hunt for these weapons of mass destruction. Yet the latest United Nations resolutions call for Iraq to come clean without digging by the team of Hans Blix. They are not detectives."
"Another lie is Mike Farrell claiming that Iraq is not a threat. How can this be? Recently Saddam gave an interview revealing his goal to rule the region, dominate Israel, and get revenge on the U.S. for the Gulf War. This is not a threat? Look, if we are wrong this time it will be far worse than Kuwait, we will have terrorism with global reach. We must end the threat today," Hussey said

Still-new newsletter struggling

Something has gone wrong at TexasDigest.com, an online, Austin-based political newsletter launched three months ago.

In a public apology last week, editor Seton Motley said that one of the company's founders had unethically used the subscription list of 12,000 e-mail addresses. Motley later said in a phone interview that the co-founder bundled the list with Internet design services and flogged the package to other organizations.

Motley didn't name the person ousted in a "bloodless coup," but the other founder, James Cardle, remains on board. That leaves only Jorge "George" Uresti of Tyler. Uresti said there was no forced ouster because he voluntarily resigned May 19.

I think it must be the same guy, because Cardle and Uresti are both mentioned in this conservative press release from May 2003 bitching about the Democrats who walked out over redistricting:

41. Gannon appears on the GOPUSA Director & Officers page

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=1599324&mesg_id=1599324&page=

Talon News and GOPUSA both claimed that Jeff Gannon was a graduate of the “Pennsylvania State University System.” Guckert attended West Chester University, which is a member of the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education.

While Guckert and Talon News publisher Bobby Eberle, who also owns GOPUSA.com, both disavow any connection between Guckert and GOPUSA, AVN.com discovered a cached version of Gannon’s bio on GOPUSA.com’s “Directors and Officers” page.

LINK
http://66.102.7.104/search?q=cache:C_LgJy3BXlwJ:www.gopusa.com/bios/jeffgannon.shtml%20&hl=en

Guckert’s connection to GOPUSA should have disqualified him from being issued a press pass to the White House press galleries, and in fact, Guckert was denied a “hard pass,” a permanent pass to the Congressional galleries because he could not prove that Talon News was associated with GOPUSA.

"Oh, you're a college girl? Yeah, I graduated from Penn State. No, wait. That was the state pen."

He was joking. But that's the first thing that popped into my mind: Pennsylvania State Penitentiary. I wonder if this guy's background hasn't been doublespeaked.

29. What makes me laugh is how Scotty keeps saying, "We'll get to ...

Every time there's an inquiry of serious matters, the response is always, "We want to get to the bottom of this."

U.S. to Oppose Libya as U.N. Rights Chair

WASHINGTON (GOPUSA News) -- In a briefing to the press, State Department spokesman Richard Boucher said that the United States would oppose Libya's candidacy to become head of the United Nations Human Rights Commission. Boucher cited U. N. sanctions against the African nation and its poor human rights record as reasons that its chairmanship would be "not appropriate."

52. It seems obvious to me.

They hired him BECAUSE he was a prostitute, not in spite of it. He;s used to giving the boys what they want...so the Bush Admin. gave him basically the same position as before.

Jeff Gannon of Talon News. They were crowing one day about how he's their "inside man" in the WH press corps...

14. Very important info about the WH press corps - please read


http://webdems.blogspot.com/

<snip>

Would you be surprised to learn that (as White House reporters are browbeaten daily) a seat in the fourth row of the WH briefing room is occupied by a volunteer for a rinky-dink right-wing "news service" whose reporters include a personal trainer, a scout camp director, an aerospace employee, and a high-school student? This volunteer, credentialed by the White House, is a denizen of the barely credible web forum freerepublic.com. Read down; this gets worse.

<snip>

The locus of the trouble can be traced back to the end of World War Two, when -- for some apparently short-sighted reason -- the power to credential journalists was transferred from the White House Correspondents Association to the White House press office. White House Correspondents Association It is this transfer of the credentialing process that puts the whip in the hand of the White House. Returning the credentialing to a strengthened White House Correspondents Association would immediately diminish the ability of the White House political apparatus to bully reporters.

Not likely! There are many obstacles for admittance.

And thanks for you good wishes.

That one comment (emphasis mine) just cracks me up when I think about what the obstacles were. Images of someone (KKKarl?) stuffing him in a closet somewhere in the WH "quick, don't let the Secret Service know you're in here"

56. The security breach oddity disappears when you assume "Gannon" is an AGENT

This makes by far the most sense, all things taken together.

One object of agent - BLACKMAIL of powerful closeted gay and bisexual men in order to control them and suppress dissent to the administration. This is a very common espionage tactic.

For more posts on this, check the relevant (Gannongate-related and about the 1989 homosexual prostitution ring in the Bush/Reagon White House) replies in this thread:
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=307x49
By the way, the 1989 gay prostitution scandal investigation, which had leads all over the government of the time, was pretty much derailed by that administration (Bush the First - Reagan was the figurehead). Can't have exposure - blackmail only works as long as the threatening information is secret.

How can they bear each other? Even to speak to briefly? Hard to imagine that level of anti-humanity. Anyone really watching and listening to them and believing them is surely damaged by the experience.
