Surprise! The Gannon/Guckert Story is Dead

[Stevendsmith]

It has been replaced by the eminently spinnable non-scandal known as the Bush Tapes.

You could set your watch by this stuff.

1. Don't bet on it yet--DU is alive and well

[spanone]

2. Wow, great minds think alike!!!!!!! Just posted same thought.

[troubleinwinter]

3. "youthful indiscretion", whether hooking a month ago, or smoking

pot 20 years ago.

Is Michael Jackson over the flu?

[HereSince1628]

4. If I were Rove I wouldn't count on that

There is some very difficult stuff to sort out around the high level support staff of the political advisors and press office.

While the links undoubtedly exist, getting something solid on them will be difficult. I actually think it requires prolonged contact with the players.

5. Not according to John Aravosis

I'm hoping he's right about this.

You can read what he has to say about in the thread under:
VIDEO: CNN's Reliable Sources on GuckertGate

It was also discussed earlier today here.

6. We're on to their tactics of conveniently leaking their crap storys.

The Gannon/Guckert story isn't going to go away because WE won't let it go away.

[fooj]

7. With all due respect...this scandal is done when WE say it's done!

And that's not looking like anytime soon...

[dave123williams]

8. Right; NEWSFLASH - Bush spoke with a friend 15 years ago about nothing...

[hippiechick]

9. Again ? It's starting to resemble Jason Voorhees.

:eyes:

[julialnyc]

10. I think the tapes were leaked as a favor

to Bush from his friend

[julialnyc]

11. I think they are part of the propaganda

so what he said he tried pot......everyuone knows worse things than that about his past. and pretending to be tolerable of homosexuals...plllleeeaaaaase!
That tape makes him seem better than he is....it was calculated!

[zippy890]

16. Agreed - This 'secret' tapes thing is

so orchestrated.
One can hope some journalist will do some real journalism for a change and get the real story - its so orchestrated, its an insult to the media and to the country to believe this shit.

[julialnyc]

18. I know, this story is so that the press can say ohhhh we are going for the

Juicy story............hoping to fulfill people's interest in scandal, so they stop hearing from us wanting to hear about Gannon.

[Stirk]

21. I'm sure Howard Kurtz will get right on it.

He'll probably write a detailed account of the 'Bush Spin Machine".

I'm holding my breath.

[Disturbed]

13. Guckert/Gannon story is simmering now.

The lurid sensational aspect is fading but the boring facts will slowly surface as the investigation continues. My guess is that CBS and other orgs are working on digging out the connections between gopusa/Falon and Gannon and how it relates to the Rather setup. The dry facts usually take longer and are not as exiting as anything related to sex.

[julialnyc]

15. Leslie Stahl seemed intrigued

on Bill Maher..........maybe we should write her?


I think that this may be why the law suit is coming. So people stay hushed (under court order)

[Bethany Rockafella]

12. Ya think so?

The Bush Tapes will only leave an impression on the public but Gannongate will surely leave a mark on the Bush administration.

Kudos to Jeff "Bulldog" Gannon

:-)

[BigBearJohn]

14. I wouldn't sound its death knell just yet

[Booster]

17. I find it ironic that Lesley Stahl asked Bill Maher on is show

how Gannon could get credentials while using a phony name. Surely Lesley can think of some other people to ask this kind of question. It's a sad day when reporters start asking "us" how things could happen. Come on, Lesley, you can do better than that.

The Republicans are the masters at repeating a lie often enough to make it truth. The Democrats are masters of their pink tutus.

[Carni]

20. Didn't you know that marijuana is a gateway to other *bad* things

At least that is what the Cons have claimed for years (which means of course that I am going to spin right back at em!)

[underseasurveyor]

22. ZZZZzzzzz ZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzz ZZZZZZZZzzzzz

Wha-wha's goin' on? There's a fake gannguckert where? Huh? And 'man of his word' george never once smoked pot either "so stop saying that!"

Besides Fox told me it ain't nuth'n. *whew*
At least there is one source of information I can trust, thank the lord fer that.
*yawn* Back to my beddy-bye slumber.

....and so boys and girls that's the story of how george bush freed the entire world and saved us all from evildoers. The End.

Ahhhh, so nice to feel safe in America, nite-nite!








The more things change, the more they freakin' don't:hurts:
Yep, like fucking clockwork alright :sigh: Well at least we know our watches are accurate :evilfrown:

[nookiemonster]

23. Fine, let's roll over again for these fascist fucks!

This shit didn't happen to us overnight, and it WON'T be stopped as quickly either. Everyone of us wants this story to take off, and rightfully so, but we have to be realistic.

The Gannon story will not go away unless we want it to. Be patient. We have some very enlightened folks here and it would be a travesty to let this go by the wayside.

We have these bastards. Just look at their reactions. Nuff said.

Just my $0.02
