* * * A GAY HOOKER IN THE WHITE HOUSE - HOW'D HE GET THERE? * * *

[MikeG]

A man with NO TRAINING as a journalist?

Who got a day pass every day?

And his social security number didn't turn up the unpaid taxes?

SOMEONE IMPORTANT WAS GIVING THE GREEN LIGHT.

This is a BIG scandal.

[Inland]

Used the front door, like the real journalists who don't sell sex for $

Aint that something?

[MikeG]

14. Nah. He went in the "back door".

[Misunderestimator]

1. No, really?

[MikeG]

2. I wouldn't misunderestimate it.

[Technowitch]

3. Not to be insulting...

But where've you been for the last week, friend? There's been fresh, steaming piles 'o dirt revealed each and every day.

And just when I think it can't get any better, John over at AmericaBlog, or DailyKOS, or Atrios another of the bloggerdom come up with EVEN BETTER s**t!

Me, I'm making popcorn and enjoying the show.

[MikeG]

5. The day pass and unpaid taxes thing clicked it for me.

I had my suspicions since the start.

4. Somebody important is right and for a very interesting set of reasons.

This is critical, what was the fail safe to prevent this type of thing and why was it bypassed? Who screwed up or made sure that there was no oversight?

This is one of the strangest, most compelling political mysteries in our history. My God, "a gay hooker in the White House!"

[EVDebs]

7. The comedic timing is perfect. Deep Throat's ID is hinted at and

just now a new mystery appears in the White House. I think it's all Operation Mockingbird / military PsyOps stuff.

Just look into the 2000 "CNN and PsyOps" story on Counterpunch online by Alexander Cockburn, during the 2000 elections.

And the CIA's media manipulation Operation Mockingbird has been going on since the 1940's for cryin' out loud. Wake up America !

8. Right but they don't have the structural control they once had.

When there are just three networks or multiple news outlets owned by just a few people, you can really mess with the public en masse. This allows you to develop a story, fine tune the timing, and modify the operation as you roll along. It also ensures that there will be no dissent of any significant. After all, before the current iteration of the blogsphere, all we had were some voices in the wilderness and the alternative press. NOW it's different. A major power faction is probably trying to even the score with * and co, which is not all that bad for us. They may think that they have the same control as they previously experienced. But, guess what? They don't. There are independent media sources and a major distribution channel (we're on part of it right now) which are capable of driving their own stories, critiquing a psy ops story line, and, in general, mucking things up. The lack of control of a structured, planned story line is our greatest advantage. We're in new territory now but the old advantages are long gone. Fun, huh.

[EVDebs]

11. But if the blogosphere turns into Vegas, 'what happens in Vegas

stays in Vegas', then we're just beating around the Bush, pardon the pun. MSM or 'corporate media' or whatever you wanna call dem guys, they've got to put it out there.

This whole Deep Throat fiction is laughable !

[autorank]

12. Good laughs! It is out there. I'm not a CM (corporate media)

watcher, but I'm told it was on Today this morning, all over the cable news tonight, and there's an editorial in the Minneapolis Star tomorrow slamming * and talking about the hooker story. And Debs, don't forget the great NY Daily News headline (NYC's biggest paper):

Bush press pal quits
over gay prostie link

BY HELEN KENNEDY
DAILY NEWS WASHINGTON BUREAU

Jim Guckert, aka Jeff Gannon, on the web (Picture of Gannon in undies)

WASHINGTON - A conservative ringer who was given a press pass to the White House and lobbed softball questions at President Bush quit yesterday after left-leaning Internet bloggers discovered possible ties to gay prostitution

6. You have that one. The righties

are going to have fits. Can you imagine how the Catholic Church and the Evangelist are going to choke on their tongue. Them and their moral holier than thou. The catholic church favoring bush over Kerry. All the gd moralist out there let them eat s....

10. What do you think of this?

The poll below is highly instructive regarding our current situation. Even though he's popular in CA (for now), the national audience does not want Arnold to run for president. Only 22% of all voters surveyed want this and only 30% of Republicans. 66% and 57% of these two groups respectively "would not" want him to run! Why is this significant? Because Arnold is tainted with just a mild version of the "Gannon" taint that is starting to stick to the White House and Republicans in general. The "taint" of Arnold is steroids, lascivious sex, sexual harassment, and exhibitionism in bikini briefs with oil all over his body. Imagine how the national audience will response to the "Gannon" photos and the association with the WH. This is political catastrophe for * and all who support him at any point throughout this crisis. The very points you make, which are correct, about the moralistic Protestants and Catholics are double edged swords. They will cut support for * and Republicans with every member of the general public that sees the photos, hears the stories, or gets the message that the WH is not at all what they thought it was. This will, in my opinion, take religious posturing out of politics in a big way. The risks to the publics faith is just too great to risk another glorified xtian leader.

a blue dress???

13. just close your eyes and think for a moment . . . ask yourself . . .

"How would the "mainstream" press be handling this story if Bill Clinton were in the White House?" . . . or any Democrat, for that matter? . . . does anyone doubt that it would even knock Michael Jackson off the front page? . . .

and then take any lingering notions you may have about the media not being in the pocket of BushCo and toss them out the window . . .
