[johncoby2]

WASHINGTON - Jeff Gannon, the former White House reporter whose naked pictures have appeared on a number of gay escort sites, says that he has "regrets" about his past but that White House officials knew nothing about his salacious activities.

21. I agree with you here, but the topic was him admitting prostitution

Sex is what will get this rolling in the MSM (Mainstream media) and people noticing, then they need to push the lies and the media manipulation.

I really don't care what he does with his body, so long as he doesn't hurt people, but, as of now, prostitution is illegal and whomever put this guy in as a schill or mole knew G/G was involved in it and this hypocracy is appalling (work for a very anti-gay, fundamentalist administration and plant a homosexual who is employed illegally, with no journalistic abilities, a fake name working for a fictitious news organization backed by the rightwing repubs). I am focusing on how the WH thinks, am not gaybashing or discussing if prostitution be illegal.

However, if it was all an innocent mistake (ha, as if) and the WH vetting process is so messed up that they couldn't catch a prostitute who is offering his body for money on several websites, that's another problem.

Finally, we're not just trashing him for his journalistic fraud. JimmyJeff was used, was planted by someone in the WH for WH propagada and republican lies and THIS is what needs to be focused on. Don't focus on the underling but who put him there, who knew.

2. Ok

Yes. Sure. Absolutely.

The right wing thing again, their family values on display.

3. It was a non-denial

Not a non-denial denial, mind you, just a non-denial. He never denied it. He can't. He's a fucking gump! How he has the nerve to go on tv and pretend to be a victim is just hilarious. He's a prostitute, for god's sake. It isn't about the sex, but it IS at the same time. I wish Anderson Cooper had read that customer review from the older officer who called Guckert a "solid top" who is "never romantic" but never too "rough." "And he's so intelligent!" You just can't make this shit up!

4. so the "past" part needs to be discredited.

Ten years ago is one thing, two is another.

There is a pic of him at an orgy that the WA Blade has from 1998.

Judging from how much he like to show off his wang, there is probably alot of damaging info out there.

Personally, I think he is taking one for the team, making everyone think he's just an oddball exception among this thug admin, instead of the rule.

12. I think if he was serious

about the past wouldn't he have taken down his website's and all that? :shrug: I think he's just saying that because he got caught and is definietly trying to be the victim to all of Bush's base. :eyes:

5. "White House officials knew nothing about his salacious activities"

- well he WOULD say that, wouldn't he ???

[Sydnie]

7. But they should have. He is NOT helping them here at all

If they had done a complete background check, they would have known about those sites, no doubt in my mind. Saying that they (the WH) knew nothing about it only bolsters the arguement that something was not right with the whole situation.

Either they are total fools or they think we are.

8. That is the main problem. They let in someone they knew

nothing about. Or so they say. So, what kind of security is that?

[FreedomAngel82]

13. They think we are

Now Bush "won" re-election and got his "mandate" they think we'd believe everything one of them says. They do own the media and everything and your average viewer wouldn't know any difference in what he's saying.

9. he didn't deny it, but that's not the same as admitting.

That he doesn't deny the implication suggests it is probably true, but that is not the same as admitting it.
I found it interesting that in his interview with Anderson Cooper, Gannon was adamant that the White House didn't know about his sexual past, but whenever asked about the nature of his press pass or how he passed a background check, he said he didn't know what the White House was thinking, that Cooper needed to talk to them.

10. LOL. One would think they did a background check on him.

:eyes: :eyes: :eyes: :eyes: :eyes:

11. The "past"? Did he take the sites down in the last 10 minutes?

It's called "the present", James.

[KayLaw]

22. That's what I thought

My pizza lunch was in "the past."

15. "jeff" is such a massive idiot.....if he really wanted to 'quit' his job

at Talon News....he could have just quietly resigned and stopped going to WH press briefings, and I am certain that hardly anyone would have noticed, or if they did, just like when 'jeff' appeared, NOTHING would be said at all.....


NOooooooo...'jeff' had to QUIT and make a BIG DEAL ABOUT QUITTING....go on EVERY TV, radio, newspaper, and COMPLAIN ABOUT 'bloggers', and accuse them of attacking him.....

stupid 'jeff' MADE this whole mess happen....daring people....accusing people...and making a BIG DEAL about quitting a non-job at a tiny little web site....gawwdddddd...how STUPID can you get.....

[LynneSin]

16. It isn't about his past...it's about the hypocrisy

And unfortunately "Jeff Gannon" was the fall guy.

I really don't care that he is gay. Personally I don't even have a problem with prostitution.

He's the fall guy for the overall hypocrisy of the repukes who "claim" they are for moral values. And it's also the fact that they would allow this guy into the 'holy grail' of jounalism and this idiot was basically the setup man for when the shit was starting to hit the fan.

[Disturbed]

17. Is he playing dumb now or is he really this...

stupid?

[LynneSin]

18. Personally I think he's playing dumb in order to distract us....

...from something major that is about to happen.

Karl Rove is behind this

20. WH officials knew nothing about his prostitution? Give me a break!!!

They knew nothing and these people are in charge of the safety and security of our nation?

Anyone can find out about a whort on Clinton's penis but they don't know anything about a WH fake "journalists's" gay prostitution?

BEAM ME UP!!!
