The GUCKERT Story Grew an IMUS Leg Today
I can't vouch that this is the first mention by IMUS, and given the repulsiveness of IMUS, his take is not our preferred framing, but here it is:

He said that there was a story out there about a fake reporter getting into White House briefings under an assumed name, who had posted "nekkid pictures of himself on the web, so can we say HE'S A QUEER? And we might have assumed he would be CUTE, but he's a FAT, BALD (unintelligible, something like 'schmo')." (paraphrase)

Given his own mental and physical repulsiveness and that his description of GUCKERT could fit Bernard and Norm COLEMAN's nephew Sid---it ALMOST makes one want to defend GUCKERT----ALMOST, O.K., the feeling has passed on that point.

So his mentionings were mostly promos for the story. The actual handling of it was not a discussion segment, just one of those schtick impersonations by Charles, this one by "Jack NICHOLSON". Later MATALIN said that "you can bet there is some digging going on in the bowels" of the WH to find out who is linked to GUCKERT and got him in. I don't know whether I heard it in this circus or somewhere else that the credentialing is NOT done personaly by Scotty, that it is some other flunky below him.

Anyway, IMUS speeds the story into certain demographics. Unfortunately, it's Friday, so the gap till next week works against the joementum of it.

2. Has anyone seen Bernard and Jeff Gannon in the same place?
They sure do look alike.

Maybe that would be a funny approach to this.

Maybe "Jeff Gannon" also tells his clients he's really Bernard from the Imus show.

8. Some Googling of Bernard

…with the tip of my Timberland shoe.

Executive Producer of the “Imus in the Morning” radio program, Bernard McGuirk, expressing how he would apologize to New York Times columnist, Maureen Dowd, for publicly criticizing her labeling of the Church sex abuse scandal as pedophilia, rather than a homosexual, problem. McGuirk, apparently a former, cock-sucking altar boy himself, seems to be revealing, for a change, some deep-rooted hatred of women and confusion with the Church that turned him into little Blowjob Bernie. His frequently lame, yet hysterical and misogynistic, anti-gay diatribes are consistent with his dismal attempts at hyper-masculinity which are about as convincing as Liberace’s butch. Maybe it’s the bitter resentment at not quite fitting the Chelsea-boy-muscle-queen image he tries so desperately, and unsuccessfully, to pull off. His on-air fantasies about wrestling with little boys in underwear don’t do much to dispel where he’s coming from (so to speak) either. No one gives a fuck about homos, except you Bernie. Leave them alone, or is the wife not doing it for you? Maybe it's the Timberland treatment. Giggling like a coy schoolgirl, dried up curmudgeon Don Imus, (who tortures his listeners by gushing over his son like Kathy Lee Gifford peaking on ecstasy -- when he’s not wallowing in his martyrdom and boring the fuck out of everyone selflessly promoting the Imus Ranch - his kids-with-cancer-tax-write-off) edges him on like the teenage bully who never gets laid. Anus in the Morning would be a more apt name for a show with these fucking assholes.

6. And are we then to assume the security checks are done by
"flunkies" in the FBI or Secret Service? Gee, that really reflects well on them.
