Poll question: So do you think Jeff Gannon now regrets telling Liberals to "Bring it On"
Edited on Wed Feb-09-05 04:57 PM by LynneSin
EarlG posted on the home page a few days an email he received from Talon WH Correspondence Jeff Gannon (see link below). Jeff's message was pretty much a Bush style "Bring it On" when he wrote to DU that he would try harder to be #1. Since that infamous email we have found out the following about Jeff Gannon. Mr. Gannon also made simliar "Bring it On" type messages to other liberal websites including Media Matters


  • That is name isn't really Jeff Gannon but Jim Guckert
  • That he has moved about the Northeast some with addresses in Wilmington & Newark DE and Cincinnati OH
  • That Jim/Jeff has shown true support of his troups by creating several "Military Escort M4M" sites including an AOL picture hotshot pic in tightie whities
  • That pretty much he's Scott McClellan's go-to guy for all the WH news conference because after Scott has faced a few Roger Clemen's fast-ball style pitches he needs a rubber arm to come in there and toss him an easy one


Since the email it seems that Mr. Gannon was pretty much daring us to find something bad about him which was about as easy as finding a 2 ton rock in the middle of an empty parking lot. Not only has he shut down his "News Website", but he's probably banned from WH press conferences but even Congress wants to investigate his ass linking him to (As Rep Lois Slaughter calls it) "Military Prostitution (talk about really supporting your troops - could you just put a damn yellow ribbon on his car?).

So, seriously, do you think Mr. Gannon aka Jim Guckert is starting to regret the mess he got himself in and how do you think this will affect the White House? (Seriously, I can see the Bush admin drooling over this guy thinking he'd make a great plant for in the Press Corps and never once investigating Gannon's background)

1. Most of the "real work" was done at other sites.
We just poked a lot of fun at him.

2. True and I change DU to liberal

3. He Might Quite Possibly Be the King Of All Morans!

I mean, has anyone ever had such an immediate Karma backlash before? Could anyone else be so stupid to taunt your opponents when you have so many dirty secrets that are hardly concealed?

Much belly laughing AT him is in order. What a class A moran!!!

6. Wicked thought: a DU "Jeff Gannon" forum.
I love this--karma can be such a bitch sometimes, can't she?!

5. Gannon- or whoever- is a good example of the sort of dreck
that has invaded/assaulted the public/government sector as a result of the bush administration. It again reinforces the fact that the bush "team" is utterly careless about who they let in, as long as they are "with them". That is a dangerous and irresponsible bunch who will in the end will have caused this country great harm that everyone will regret.

8. Well, I've got a bone to pick with Liberals.
Why the heck do you allow these people to make it personal, before you take them down? Shouldn't it be standard procedure by now to do background checks on these shills, since we know the media won't do it?

17. Congress did, and didn't vet him
That's why he had to get a White House day pass, because he was not approved by Congress for entrance anywhere. That's what makes this more egregious.:shrug:
