Gannon non-newsie frame. Why did the administration "invite" a prostitute

[lawladyprof]

In the White House? If the presence of Monica defiled the "People's House," how much more so the presence of a person to takes money for having sex with strangers, who posts pornographic photographs of his genitals on the Internet for thousands of people to look at? I consider myself to be a fairly liberal person, but I don't associate with prostitutes and I assume that the people I see on television, reporters and the like, also do not "rub shoulders" with such people unless necessary, say for a work assignment or if they were doing charity work--where, presumably they would know that the person was a prostitute. How insulting to the White House press corps that the administration itself arranged for them to have to interact and associate with such a person. If the administration knew Jeff Gannon was a male prostitute, then they deceived the press corps and furthermore, could reasonably assume that Mr. Gannon might attempt to engage in sordid activities involving members of the White House press corps, perhaps entraping journalists into compromising situations that could lead to blackmail. If the administration didn't know, then they were just plain incompetent and still put the integrity of reporters in the press corps at risk.

Turning from the more salacious aspects of this debacle, aren't the reporters in the press corps insulted (and where, I might ask, is the indignation) that the administration itself debased and degraded their professional standards by allowing a Republican operative to be seen as their equal/the equivalent of reputable journalist?

1. They liked having sex with bulldog.....

6. Well, yes, that's how many DU'ers and bloggers see it, but

I'm framing it for ordinary folks. And maybe these are questions that should be posed (emailed?) to "respectable" members of the White House press corps itself.

7. Why didn't Gannon intern for the White House?

Because he only does OUT calls.

2. You stated the truth. It's so obvious why aren't MILLIONS complaining?

Sort of like the old saying
regarding seeing the sliver in someone else's eyes
but not seeing the log in your own.

3. Compared to everything else that bush has done,

inviting a shaved head maniac weirdo to daily press briefings and allowing him to directly address the "president of the united states"
is pretty much par for the course, wouldn't you say?

4. How insulting to the memory of the 9-11 victims

that this WH's definition of "security" is a snug-fitting jock-strap and a one-lick stand. How can a guy like this get a press pass?

America went to war over the 9-11 victims, spurred on by the propaganda of a media posing as journalists by day, as Pulsating Thrusting Gonads by night. Nearly 2000 soldiers are dead, over 10,000 severely injured, over 100,000 Iraqis murdered as a result of this propaganda.

How much more phony and depraved can this WH be?

5. Mike Malloy mentioned the possibility last night that the WH purposely

"embedded" Bulldog in the WH press'corpse' in order to compromise some of the reporters and thereby enable them to be controlled and stifled.
I.E. Some of the reporters availed themselves of "Jeff's" services and that is why they were not so anxious to call him out as a fake.

9. I'm wondering if "Jeff" and Scotty have a thing going

I noticed in the Obermann press conference briefing clips Bush takes a drink of water while "Jeff" asks him a question, as if Bush is capable of drinking and processing information at the same time. He can, if he knows that the next question is a set up. And he does.
