I swiped this from a poster on americablog.org

1. HolyMaroley...

Didn't Gannon's Web site indicate that he masqueraded as a body guard for people who requested his "services."?

The guy who resembles Gannon--looks as if he's a body guard/secret service--in that photo.

2. Could be Secret Service

They appear to be inside a black barrier

3. Where is that photo from?

We need to find out where it's from and look at press reports of that same event to see if we can get a better picture.

Find out what date and place.

5. The URL says it's from 12/12/03

(indicating that that's the date it was posted by the Christian Science Monitor).

6. I blew it up and don't think its the Jimmy

The nose and forehead just don't seem right even considering artifacts of angle, motion and lighting. I don't think it's him.

There was another rear shot of purported to be Gannon shaking hands with W, was it ever confirmed?

The spin room - oily engine of the political meat grinder
By Jerry Lanson DURHAM, N.H. The crush of reporters and cameramen presses in like a rabid rush-hour crowd at the Times Square subway station. There is no mercy. "Can you get a shot?" asks a TV reporter toward the back of the pack. "This is totally impossible," a voice replies. Somewhere under a dozen or more boom mikes, hand-held minicams, and tape recorders, Howard Dean, Democratic candidate for president and red meat for the evening news, has begun to answer questions. The spin room o... (936 words)

...then again 12/12/03 could be the photo date and the paper ran it on a later date...

8. i suspect that's a secret service guy.

baldness seems to be 'in' for security people.

9. It's hard to tell

but it does look like him. He has the bald head and everything. Also do you all remember the photo of him in the cowboy hat and the mixmatched colors? There was a policeman standing behind him as he was getting into his car and the policeman kind of looked like Guckert.

11. This one:

[mountainvue]

12. He looks like a freaking

cowboy mobster in that photo.

[enigmatic]

13. He looks like Pimpin' Sam to me...

heading into his fur-lined limo..

[Botany]

14. No more like .......

..... God save the queen. "Oh, whip me Cowboy. Get along you
little bulldogs, get along."

:bounce:

[ragin_acadian]

15. i dunno about pimpin sam. he looks like

a cross between liberace and roscoe p. coltrane to me

[TrustingDog]

19. cripes that pic of Bush creeps me out big time.... Flagg from The Stand

[Straight Shooter]

16. Doesn't the Secret Service always wear an earpiece in crowds?

Every photo I've ever seen where bush is amongst "the common folks," the agents wear monitoring devices of some sort or another.

17. Bush rubbing Gannon Guckert's head... there's got to be one around somewhe

20. Wouldn't "Gannon" Get On Press Planes?

If he was accredited to sit in the Press Room and his "beat" was the White House, didn't "Gannon" travel with the rest of the press puppies? It'd be interesting to FOIA the records of WH travel office to see if our man was flying "united" and who paid for it.

I remember scanning some of "Gannon's" articles that have been cached and some of those stories were supposedly written "on the road". Yes, we know that most were reprints of RNC releases, and he could have done those in his bathrobe at home.
