Newsweek reports that Jeff Gannon is considering suing liberal bloggers, among others, for a "political assassination" that drove him from his job as a reporter for a conservative news outfit called Talon News

[flamingyouth]

1. Talk about a frivolous lawsuit

:eyes:

[Rapcw]

39. lol that was what I first thought too

It seems like the republicans are trying to best us (supposedly) with frivilous lawsuits. First that college republican and now this. Puh-leeze.

[LiberallyInclined]

2. Bring. It. On.

keep the story alive and kicking, Bulldog...:bounce:

[RobertSeattle]

3. Bring it On Gannon!

I'd donate to any Bloggers legal defense fund.

[tsuki]

14. Me too. And I want video depositions. n/t

[RobertSeattle]

21. And I think Gannon should prove the "8 inch" claim..

:evilgrin:

[jean]

23. Didn't Ken Starr ask for inspection of the presidential organ in order to

corrorate Lewinsky's version/deposition/credibility/testimony?

(obviously, I don't have the specifics..but do recall at least mention of this during that time)

[Occulus]

24. I wonder if former "clients" can sue for

false advertising?

[julialnyc]

27. hasn't he already?

I saw the picture!

[RobertSeattle]

43. Hey. Maybe he's a Photoshop expert...

Images may appear larger than actual...

[julialnyc]

47. he would upset his customers if that were the case!

[FreedomAngel82]

28. I think it's really funny

:shrug: He's sad. He should just come clean and then find a nice log cabin in the middle of nowhere and disappear for a while.

[punpirate]

4. "Political assassination?"

That must mean he was working as a political operative, not as a reporter.... And, as I recall, he resigned his "job"--he wasn't fired.

Well, wherever he pops up next, I really, really hope his first column will be in character--maybe about the horrible expenses related to frivolous lawsuits....

[Lone_Star_Dem]

11. It sort of makes you wonder if he really does have an attorney.

Any attorney worth their salt would know not to say something like that. I sometimes get the impression he's trying to do his own damage control and failing miserably.

[punpirate]

16. Well, that's the conservative way--put a dufus in a suit...

... and stand him up in front of another dufus in a suit.... :P

[FreedomAngel82]

30. I think you're right

Nobody is obviously with him anymore since he's doing so terrible. He obviously isn't getting any advice.

[julialnyc]

33. Unless the situation is so tricky

that there is no good advise to give.

I think someone may be telling him to sue to stop information until they figure out what to do with it once it can be discussed.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

46. I'm pretty sure the WH doesn't want him to sue.

Think about it, WH officials would have to testify under oath. His threats are also keeping this thing in the press. I don't think this is Rove's plan.

[lectrobyte]

19. slander, or libel, perhaps, but wtf is "political assassination"?

What a goof.

[Coventina]

5. He should sue his former self, for posting those pictures of himself

That makes about as much sense as sueing the people who looked at them!
:eyes:

[gratuitous]

6. What's the cause of action going to be?

Definition of character?

[punpirate]

17. I like that...

... that's funny! :thumbsup:

[gratuitous]

25. Yarrrr, feel free to use it, matey

I stole it meself but can't remember just exactly where from . . .

[LiberallyInclined]

7. looks like it's back to dookie-sticking for a living...

of a course a REAL journalist would see the opportunity for a "tell-all" book...

[Swamp Rat]

8. Oh FUCK yeah! BRING IT ON!!!

Hey Rove, this guy's gonna bring you down, dragging you through the tabloids. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

... and we haven't forgotten Novak either. :mad:

[julialnyc]

9. well he should have been careful when he put himself out there!

and stop with all of this "it's my personal life" crap.

if I plastered my boobs all over the internet with a $200 fee under my picture.........and then asked something crazy to the president of this country with tons of cameras there to see and hear what I asked...........well, I would say that I was an idiot!

[blm]

10. Is Jeff Gannon suing Jim Guckert for selling his ass for $200 an hour?

.

[julialnyc]

26. No he already sold his soul

[tsuki]

12. Bring it on. I'd love to see you, Eberle, Thune, Scotty in deposition.

[liberalnurse]

13. Which blog group broke

the story?

[julialnyc]

22. Ameriblog?

[tuvor]

15. Precisely why he should have stopped talking to the media as promised.

Every time he opens his mouth, he puts his foot in it.

[Plaid Adder]

18. This is your A #1 sign that Guckert is a looney.

Please, Guckert. PLEASE file a lawsuit. I cannot WAIT to watch you go through discovery.

Because of course in any libel/slander/defamation/invasion of privacy suit, the defense would be that the information as a) true and b) in the public domain. So the lawyers for Aravosis, Brock et al. would be sure to request all kinds of documentation on Gannon/Guckert that probably hasn't even come out yet--and they might actually get it. That would be sweet.

This guy must have fired his attorney, or had his attorney quit on him, because his attorney told him not to talk to the press, and you can see how well that's working.

The more I see of this guy, the more I wonder: why did Eberle pick THIS guy to be the WH mole? Not only is he an idiot who doesn't know what's good for him, he's also a blabbermouth who doesn't know when to shut up. Not good qualifications for being the super-secret undercover WH plant. So how'd he get picked for thsi job?

Inquiring minds want to know,

The Plaid Adder

[Blue_Roses]

37. "blabbermouth

who doesn't know when to shut up..." :D no doubt. He tries to work his "damage control" and all it does is backfire. He's reaching...

Reach on Gannon-Guckert or what ever the hell your name is. he is the laughing stock of the press right now.

[Melynn]

38. Guckert file a lawsuit?

I would imagine that who ever is behind Guckert is having apoplexy tonight on the news that Guckert might file a lawsuit and it couldn't happen to a nicer bunch of people....hee,hee,hee. :evilgrin:

[against all enemies]

20. Please depose the White House staff member that issued the Press

Pass. It will be interesting to get the White House on the record, as to why guckert was allowed into the press conferences.

[FreedomAngel82]

34. Don't forget to ask

about how he got to go to those invite only parties at the House. :shrug:

[Dr Fate]

29. Aren't most prostitutes drug abusers/ addicts as well?

Can he sue me for that one?

[NoPasaran]

31. "Drove him from his job?"

He was a freaking volunteer for Talon "News".

It was his hooking gig that put bread on the table.

[FreedomAngel82]

35. And don't forget

right after this story came out he immediately volunteered himself off of the "news" site. So nobody lost him his job. What a joke.

[BuyingThyme]

32. Gannon Suing GOP for Alienation of Affection...

developing...

[uppityperson]

36. Thought he exposed his "facts" online already

In various positions.

[Padraig18]

40. Anyone can *sue* anyone for anything.

Getting a judgment is a whole different kettle of fish.

[coreystone]

41. How much relevance could defense attorney's push at the WH doors?

I would imagine it would have to do with how the case would be framed, but, it would seem that the discovery process could be rather open. Then the depositions of the WH connections, etc..........

Sorry! I was only fantasizing!

:crazy:

[allalone]

42. oh please, please sue!

[idiosyncratic]

44. I want to know who "asked him to be a reporter."

I hope he does sue. There is so much more we need to know . . .

:)

[atommom]

45. Well, maybe he shouldn't have exposed his "Jeff Gannon" on the net!

It does sound like he's just flailing at this point. His political buds seem to have left him to drown .... which could lead him to disclose some interesting things, perhaps.

[Acryliccalico]

48. I think it's just a show

for the true blue * supporters. They can say 'well he is suing so it must all be a lie'. They are that dumb!!! Just my first thought on the whole thing. :kick:
