Editor Questions Place on Gannon's 'Enemies List'
The editor of a popular conservative weblog is questioning why his name has appeared on the list of 'enemies' that reporter Jeff Gannon is considering suing.
Swift Report executive editor Todd Fox notes that his news site has consistently sided with Mr. Gannon in recent weeks and suggests that the reporter's enmity towards him may date back to a personal misunderstanding over the difference between a professional colleague and an escort.An evening of oysters and white burgundy ends with an invoice By Howard Ogilvie, Swift Report Ombudsman

LOS ANGELES—The executive editor of the Swift Report, Todd Fox, is questioning why his name has appeared on the list of 'enemies' that reporter Jeff Gannon is considering suing. According to news reports over the weekend, Mr. Gannon, whose real name is James D. Guckert, may sue liberal interest groups, bloggers and others, including Mr. Fox, for what he's calling a "political assassination."

Drinks and hors d'oeuvres—then an invoice
According to Mr. Fox, he first met Mr. Gannon at the Leadership Institute's Broadcast Journalism School in Arlington, VA, where Fox was teaching an accelerated course in journalistic ethics. The two met up again in Washington, DC in 2000, says Mr. Fox, for drinks and 'professional chit chat.'
"I thought JG and I were getting together as professional colleagues, but at some point after we'd both consumed a great many Bluepoints on the half shell and way too much white burgundy, the evening started to feel well, romantic," says Mr. Fox.
"I had to be very firm with him that we were having a journalistic meeting of the minds and that this was not a date."
But while the two parted amicably, Mr. Fox says his confusion only deepened a week later when he received an invoice from Mr. Gannon in the mail. "I opened the envelope, very thick ivory paper with JG's monogram, and inside was a bill for $200. Well, I returned it and you better believe that I didn't enclose a check for services rendered."
