GOP Spokeswoman May Have Lied in Denying Any Knowledge of Bobby Eberle, Owner of Talon News
Sherry Sylvester, Spokeswoman for the Republican Party of Texas, Denied Knowing Jeff Gannon's Boss

By ADVOCATE STAFF

The Advocate was amazed when it found out, via a Houston Chronicle article, that the spokeswoman for the Republican Party of Texas, Sherry Sylvester, had denied any knowledge whatsoever of Bobby Eberle, owner of Talon News and ostensible employer of "reporter" Jeff Gannon.

According to the Houston Chronicle, Sylvester, when asked about Eberle, said, "I'm not going to comment because I don't know him, and nobody here does."

At the time, we at The Advocate considered that statement to be an impossibility, given Eberle's bio, which includes the following nuggets of interest:

***

Bobby's political experience began through his involvement with the Republican Party of Texas and the Young Republicans organization.

Bobby's activities within the Republican Party of Texas (RPT) include serving as a delegate to the 2000 Republican National Convention in Philadelphia. Bobby also served as a delegate to the RPT State Convention in 1996, 1998, 2000, and 2002. Bobby served on the RPT Education and Training Committee from 1998-2000. In 1999, Bobby was recognized with a unanimously approved resolution of commendation by the Republican Party of Texas for service and dedication to the Republican cause.

1. So are we firmly onto the "It's not the sex, it's the lying phase" yet?

3. Why does it have to be either/or?

A prostitute was allowed into the WH only a daily basis for almost three years under false pretenses. The prostitute, as well as everyone involved in the WH has lied repeatedly about the "affair". If it is serious enough to lie about, maybe someone should get to the bottom of what is going on in the People's House...

9. No, we're still in the "It's Okay If You're a Republican" phase

And we're not likely to pass beyond it.

5. "I don't know him, and nobody here does."

So stop saying that! Sherry Sylvester is a pathetic liar. She could not have been more disingenuous if she had tried.

[Bethany Rockafella]

6. How does she know that no one there knows him?

7. duh -- everyone is distancing themselves from the Velvet Mafia

they have exposed the entire Repuke party. Texas Young Repugs is the connection to Rove. it IS about the SEX. this only confirms that.

10. I think Maureen Dowd should sue.

I mean, there's only so many seats in that press room. That guy continually got passes under false pretenses, possibly denying her a seat. She should sue akaJeff, Eberle, GOPUSA, Ari Fleisher, McClellan, and possibly the Texas GOP. Rove as a witness. A conspiracy to deny her a seat. Hah!
