Ses, lies and videotape? GANNON/GUCKERT/BULLDOG questioning Fleischer!

Copy url and paste it into your browser. Forward to about minute 31:00 and watch Gannon/Guckert toss a 'push' question about schoolchildren being harassed in Maine because of their teacher's "anti-war" stance.

This press briefing is February 28, 2003. Gannon/Bulldog/Guckert had NO media affiliation. (Although he did have active male prostitution websites that WERE active.) So. Mr. McClelland, care to amend any of your earlier statements?

on edit: title copyright DefenseLawyer :)

That would imply that Guckert was admitted into the White House even BEFORE his alleged news service existed. At that time, he done some "writing" over the preceding couple of months for what appears to be Talon's predecessor, Republican activist website GOPUSA.com News. "Writing" is to be used loosely in this case, however, as much of his reporting during that pre-Talon period consisted of cutting-and-pasting stories from other news outlets or GOP press releases.

3. LInk not working
Can you give the steps you did to find that instead? I often find that direct links to c-span just don't work, at least for me. I would love to see this video.

5. I thought he didn't start coming to the WH until April 2003. And what...
...a stupid question for the press secretary.

6. It wasn't a question. It was a political comment.
But of course, then again, he wasn't a journalist.

7. So he wasn't working for anyone yet there he w/access making comments?
To prop up bush? WTF?

What I do not and will not ever understand is WHY they would choose Gannon of all people to use as their faux reporter?

I am really wondering if Fleisher bailed because he saw a growing scandal--I cannot stand Ari Fleisher, but I don't think the man is stupid and you would have had to be a freaking moron to use this very open male prostitute for this purpose.

There is only ONE MAN that I can think of, that is... THAT stupid and bush be thy name.

We also know that bush is "very hands on" and refuses to hear the rationale of all those who oppose him.

8. That is correct, he had NO press credentials as of yet
Then "Talon" was created. And by who? The White House perhaps?

10. Had to be
This whole thing just boggles my mind...it's like bizarro world.

I have always maintained that whatever bush says you just turn it around, to get at the truth, but I really didn't realize this applied to EVERYTHING he spouts off about.

This is just truly beyond comprehension.

11. Look at the record of "gannon" "questions"
They clearly are Rove designed with the sole purpose of delivering propaganda without having the statement come from the * administration. The same as push poling against McCain, or the Swift boat liers. Check out Media Matters and you will see that many of the "questions" made the rounds through the compliant MSM echo chamber.
I am convinced that "Gannon" is a * plant.
