"Jeff Gannon's" Psychopathic view of "GannonGate"
(from jeffgannon.com)

Fear and Loathing in the Press Room

For the last two years, the Old Media figures at the White House thought of me as a gadfly, a right-winger with an agenda, harmless, someone to be ignored. From time to time there were grumbles among some of the reporters and one or two confrontations, but there was never a serious attempt to remove me from their midst. During my tenure I developed some good friends there who welcomed the refreshing perspective I brought to the briefings and respected my courage for asking the questions that I did.

It wasn’t until I asked “The Question” that everything abruptly changed. Initially, my colleagues had no reaction to the query posed to President Bush. It wasn’t until Rush Limbaugh drew attention to it that there was any interest at all. But that was enough to get a liberal group dedicated to attacking conservatives:eyes: in the media to mobilize. It was horrified that the relentless string of hostile and a few downright disrespectful questions had been broken. My greater sin in their eyes, however was that I dared to suggest that two Senate Democratic leaders held an illogical view :puke:of the economy’s weakness and the strength of Social Security.

(I think this duffus is enjoying all this new attention)

1. The guy admittedly (in his "ads") caters to the S/M side of the sexual
spectrum, and I suspect this plays a broader role in his overall personality. I think he actually enjoys the humilation and derision directed his way since he's been outed. The fact that it's amplified by the small amount of fame he's garned with his antics, he's probably actually really getting off on the whole thing. Pathetic.

2. "Old Media"="Actual Fucking Journalists"
Edited on Mon Feb-28-05 06:15 AM by impeachdubya
I've got an idea. I think I'll go buy one of those $14.98 el cheapo Halloween Doctors costumes, and walk on over to the Emergency room, whereupon I will begin issuing mandates and treating patients and making incisions and saying things like "Nurse I need 50 ccs of Worcestershire Sauce injected rectally into this patient-- STAT!"...

Of course, if any of the so-called doctors there give me shit about it, I will tell them they are such "Old Medicine" figures.

11. Check out what he says on the "sidebar" on his site
(From the Sidebar of jeffgannon.com)

Bruised but not broken

I'm baaaaaaack! If you thought I was going to slink away - then you don't know much about me. Someone still has to battle the Left and now that I've emerged from the crucible, :puke:I'm stronger than before.

Despite all the pleas from the Left to go over to the 'dark side' :tinfoilhat:and expose the 'corrupt Bush administration' simply isn't going to happen. My faith and my ideology are rock solid.

Still, the last few weeks have been difficult for my family and my associates. :cry: To them I offer my apology and gratitude for their support.

In regard to the allegations about my personal life, I have been advised by my attorneys not to comment on any of the details pending the outcome of any possible legal action :hi:I might pursue. Therefore, I won't be discussing any of that stuff here.

(I think he's actually enjoying this new attention, maybe me is a Masochist)

5. Gannon, can you say, "echo chamber?"
That's why you stood out. The fact that Rush Limbaugh and you seem to bounce off each other's material is an indictment, not a defense.

8. Okay Jeffie, ready to tell us which of your "good friends" support you?
Being the "good friend" of Jeffie given his "moonlighting" job would be
interesing. Maybe that's why this story is dead in the "MSM" except for Maureen Dowd and Frank Rich and some of the "outside the beltway" Newspapers.

And, who cleared you every day for two years? hmmmmmmm?

14. He's a typical con whackjob and therefore
a shoe in for his own television show on Faux News where he will receive undying adulation from all the other whackjobs in the republican party (even the ones who hate gays).
