The White House faced fresh accusations of a clandestine propaganda campaign yesterday after it emerged it granted regular access to a rightwing blogger with a habit of asking President Bush easy questions.

Jeff Gannon, who represented a rightwing site owned by a Texas-based Republican activist, had been a regular at White House briefings since 2003 but aroused reporters' suspicions after posing ideologically loaded questions.

The fake White House correspondent quit his job at the Talon News site on Wednesday after liberal bloggers found he had been operating under a pseudonym, and that he was linked to several gay pornographic web domain addresses under his real idenity, James Guckert.

The White House spokesman, Scott McLellan, has dismissed charges that Gannon was part of an underground propaganda effort as "just a wild conspiracy theory".

1. Isn't "Gannon" a national security risk? in post 9/11 using a false

name and information to get into the WH seems to me he should be prosecuted under the Patriot's Act.

2. Us liberals and our wacky wild conspiracy theories!

Answer the fucking question Scott. Don't you ever get tired of lying and covering for a man who would throw you off a cliff just for the hell of it. You have no morals, you have no soul, you have no scruples.

5. I have to agree that It IS a conspiracy theory

The problem for the p**Resident and his right wing conspirators is that the theory is being proven before our eyes.

Its about fucking time!
