What if the White House is telling the truth about Gannon?

[dsc]

In that he either hadn't been vetted at all or had but they didn't know about the websites. That actually is worse than the alternative. I can think of no better cover for a potential terrorist than being a White House correspondent who is looked on favorably by the White House. Aside from actually being on the staff the access would be amazing.

Had he been a terrorist he could have blown himself up at a Bush press conference or poisoned the water in the White House. If they really didn't do a search of any kind on this man or did such a lousy one they missed him being a gay pimp, then they would have missed a terrorist backround too. Instead of being a funny story about hypocrites mixed in with the lying, this could have been a tragic story of assassination mixed in with the lying.

1. during the last press conference bush actually joked about checking

reporter's background before calling on either Stretch or Gannon. can't remember which.

you just never know about people.

2. tragic story?? hmmm

3. It's likely someone recommended him--Eberle, for instance.

Eberle and the WH didn't know he was gay, let alone a gay pimp. They thought he was just a good ole' boy willing to make some money for the cause, probably.

James was not doing this simply out of the kindness of his heart. There's no way.

And another thing--the "Christian" claims he is making in front of the cameras now may well be a foreshadowing of his "cured" sexual orientaion, if you understand what I mean. Ten-to-one he "comes out" as a "cured homosexual" in coming days...

It would explain the changes from the gay pimp sites to the "Christian" ones, etc.

Ultimately, I feel sorry for this guy.

4. Why would they start telling the truth now?

How would they even recognize the truth, when every public statement is run through the spin cycle first?

5. No way. pawn of the WH and *

His question to * and others make it all to obvious.
We need to stop falling for their lies.

my sentiments exactly!

7. Oh, come on, now

They have the FBI, the CIA, innumerable other info sources, more money than God, more power than satan, All the computer power in the world and all we have is a few puny (with all due respect) bloggers and a patriotic, aroused populace, sick of being shat on. Just who is kidding whom?

Edited to add: I don't know whether to laugh or puke.

10. With the stroke of a few computer keys................

this man's history from birth is at their fingertips. No way they could have not known about his past, present and in regards to the White House, his future.

The IRS knows enough about this guy to expose him.

11. That's what's so suspicious.

Seems way too obvious...

9. dsc, that is a great point and the first time anyone has

presented it that I've read (had he been a terrorist...) This would surely frame this argument differently and more seriously. They might have to tell the truth finally to defend themselves! (A girl can dream!)

14. thank you for getting it

[JerseygirlCT]

12. Bwaahaaa! Sorry, you got me at "what if the white house is

telling the truth?"

[IndianaGreen]

15. When has the White House ever told the truth about anything?

Why do we even bother to treat them as credible?

[snippy]

16. I think he was an employee of the administration.

I think Bush provided the money (probably taxpayer funds) to create both GOPUSA and Talon News and Gannon was just another Bush appointee.

18. An oxymoron
