Reid should call for an indictment of Jeff Gannon

[Jeff in Cincinnati]

or whatever the hell his name might be...

Journalists are protected from revealing their sources, but non-journalists who are being paid to spread government propaganda are clearly not covered by the shield law. Gannon should be hoisted by the shorthairs and reminded that if he wants to see homoerotic behavior up close and in person, we can arrange for an extended tour of the inmate yard at Fort Leavenworth.

This could be the fatal miscalculation by Karl Rove. Gannon's non-status as a journalist (as attested to be the fact that he couldn't get congressional press credentials) means that prosecutors can force him to either testify of go to prison for contempt. The problem for Rove lies in the old adage, "Two people can keep a secret, as long as one of them is dead." You know that others at Talon News (and elsewhere) knew of this arrangement, and one of them is bound to talk.

3. He should call for impeachment proceedings against the neoCONs!!!

This pattern of taxpayer-funded, goverment-sponsored propaganda must end!!!

Jeff Gannon is merely another example of the corruption engaged by the administration.

8. Well we can hope.

10. I hear you...

There have been a lot of "This Is It!" posts during the past four years and Bush is never held accountable. I don't know where the tipping point is -- maybe it will come when we least expect it. But every letter to the editor is a chance to convine one other luke-warm Bush supporter that this administration is not on their side.

6. If this gets close to the Oval Office....

Gannon better stay off small airplanes and release a public statement that he isn't considering suicide.

He's real big on handguns.

9. Suicide is painless, unless inflicted by someone else.

My prediction: before this ever gets close to a REAL investigation, this guy will be dead by his own hand.
