5. Yeah, Rich Gannon. He was QB.

I met him once when he played for the Vikings.

7. So, what's the fuss about Rich Gannon. Roids or something?

He doesn't seem the type...oh jeez, it's a different guy? Gay pictures? Escort service? White House clearance? I get it, it's a new Fox TV show pilot! When is it on?

[SmileyBoy]

4. But seriously, I really don't know who he is.

And I'd really like to know why the fuck I should care.

9. OK. I'll bite.

Gannon is yet another symbol of how our media is now owned by the Bushies. He's a journalist without credentials or, at least during his initial access, even an employer. He's a bought and paid for plant paid to skew press conferences. He's as authentic as the Swiftboat Liars, who also make their living getting paid by Bushistas to spread lies.
It only matters if you care about a free press and the truth.
And living in a democratic society instead of a facist one.
