Rep. Slaughter Demands Answer:

Why was Jeff Gannon in the White House Before Talon News Even Existed?

Slaughter to White House - "Stop the Stonewalling!"

Washington, DC - During the February 10 White House briefing, Press Secretary Scott McClellan stated that Jeff Gannon, "...like anyone else, showed that he was representing a news organization that published regularly" in order to receive his day pass to press briefings. It has been confirmed that Jeff Gannon was in the White House briefing room, actively participating in these briefings, as early as February 28, 2003 a full month before Talon News even existed.

Rep. Louise M. Slaughter (NY-28), Ranking Member of the House Committee on Rules, who has lead the call for answers in this matter, today called on the White House to explain their relationship with the discredited "reporter" once and for all.

"It has been a week since I wrote President Bush seeking answers in this matter. I have not yet received a reply. With each new revelation it becomes more and more clear that the relationship between the White House and Jeff Gannon was anything but typical," said Slaughter. "It is time for this Administration to stop the stonewalling and come clean with the American people," she added.

Louise rocks!!!! :yourock: :grouphug:

2. yeah -- I really enjoyed her in depth articles

:eyes:

[Toots]

3. I think Gannon has a stained blue suit

Bush* wants to make sure he gets that suit before he comments.

4. Could you be right?

Bush did look like a peacock when he put on the flight suit and declared Mission Accomplished. It could be that Bush is attracted to macho types like Gannon.

And why all those pictures of Bush touching bald heads? Are the bald heads a substitute for something else?

[merh]

5. military fatigues, not a blue suit!

minor difference.

They like to play soldiers!

[merh]

6. I hope she knows he was working for GOPUSA news in Jan & Feb

of 2003.

[merh]

10. what address can I use, her emails require it be a new york

city?

[cheezus]

8. When will the White House stop being OBSTRUCTIONIST?

What are they hiding about the MALE PROSTITUTE?

9. Technically, they are not.

Ignoring letters from members of Congress is rude, but not illegal.

Now if they refuse to cooperate with a district or US attorney, that is a horse of another color.
