Jeff Gannon and Karl Rove Attended the Same "School"
Or, "The Best Theory Yet for How Gannon Got Hired By GOPUSA and Karl Rove Got In Touch With Him"
By ADVOCATE STAFF

CBS has put (once again) its credibility on the line and speculated that Karl Rove is the man responsible for bringing Jeff Gannon (James Guckert) into the White House.

Now, why would they say a thing like that?

Is it because Rove controls everything in the White House down to the lifespan of houseplants in the West Wing?

Or because it's a near certainty that, beyond the two men meeting at a White House Christmas party--as Gannon has already asserted--Rove and the ex-Talon News "reporter" have likely crossed paths on other occasions, too?

Well, let's see.

Karl Rove is a graduate of Morton C. Blackwell's Leadership Institute.

So is Jeff Gannon.

Rove went to the Institute's "Youth Leadership School," graduating from that grist-mill of conservative quackery in 1979.

Gannon went to the Institute's "Broadcast Journalism School," graduating (to the extent $50 in cash enabled that "achievement") in 2003.

1. Perhaps Gannon & Rove hooked up per the Alumni/Mentor system...
At the very least, this school was set up for the purpose of "making connections"- Is Rove a mentor of sorts to Gannon?

6. He came to learn how to screw people from the master.
He thought it would be helpful in all of his chosen professions.

3. About that Christmas party: were all WH press pool members invited?
Or just Jimmy Jeff?

4. Here's more on Guckert's college that I found
Edited on Sun Feb-20-05 11:13 PM by EC


Along with the Alumni Service Award, 4 fraters also joined the esteemed "626 Club" in 2003 and they were also recognized. Named for the address of the TKE house at 626 S. High Street, this award recognizes financial contributions. Fraters whose total donations amount to $626.00 or more are inducted into the club. I am happy to announce that 4 fraters joined this club and we honored them at the RCB. Those fraters are: Scott Uhl, Jody Yozviak, Justin Zigner, and JD Guckert. We hope to honor many more people with this award at next years RCB!!

VP of Alumni Recruitment and Retention 392-Present, Kevin McNamee:
• I did have A couple of random Alumni spottings though, so here ya go:
o JD Guckert: He is not in the CIA, NSA, or any other crazy super duper secret
government agency. He is a reporter, not sure for whom, but he has definitely
been in the White House briefing room on several occasions. I know this because
I am a dork and actually come home from work and watch White House press
briefings on C-span. (Note to alumni, this report has not been confirmed)

o Jim Kennedy: I know that he left the big firm in Philadelphia that he was
working for and started his own practice. I read in a paper that he is representing






On edit: Gee, last week when I found the newsletters that mentioned his name, the links worked, now they don't. How about that, even his old college didn't want his name attached to them, anyway the stuff I posted was from newletters from his college alum, the middle link works and goes to a central directory type page, maybe from there you can find something...The college itself was in PA, don't remember which it was, but get this...this fraturnity has a chapter at Gannon University in PA....Oh Yeah, it was West Chester http://search.iwon.com/commerce/cached.jsp?id=eUnBiLVe37oJ&su=http%3A//search.iwon.com/commerce/google.jsp%3Fsearchfor%3DTKE+house+at+626+S.+High+Street+%252B+guckert%26st%3Dbar%26nsa%3D1%26fr%3D10&u=http%3A//www.tkema.com/minutes/Minutes-2004%2520May%25201.pdf&searchfor=TKE+house+at+626+S.+High+Street+%2B+guckert&st=bar http://iws.wcupa.edu/stu/tke/

I just refuse to believe Rove didn't have anything to do with Gannon being where he was these past few years ...

in fact, someone needs to subpoena Rove's and Guckert's cell phone records, long distance calls since the Plame case ...
