Gannon-Who got him in? -- Who gave him a pass?
These questions must be answered, currently Scott McClellan has lied about not knowing who he was and is doing the typical lie/deny scenario.

We've had 4 years of this crap, You know Rove is in bad shape when he repeats the same ole game-plan...lie/deny

Clinton was impeached because of a BJ and a blue dress, how do we continue being the greatest country when these pranks continue while being met with no resistance whatsoever from the DEMS!

1. Personally? I think it was Scottie.
Although it's possible it was someone higher up.

9. News from NashuaAdvocate: 'Eberle Brothers' twisting slowly in the wind...
Edited on Fri Feb-18-05 03:02 PM by The Time is Now
Just noted this new entry in the Nashua Advocate - haven't seen it mentioned here:

http://www.nashuaadvocate.blogspot.com/

(Bobby Eberle was "Gannon's" boss at Talon News.)

"According to the Houston Chronicle, "Texas Republican officials this week declined to talk about and even denied knowing him."

"Specifically, Sherry Sylvester, a spokeswoman for the Republican Party of Texas, said, when asked about Eberle, "I'm not going to comment because I don't know him, and nobody here does."

"That is impossible, given Eberle's publicly-available biography."

Apparently references to Bruce Eberle have been purged as well.

11. They are all connected - kind of like imbreeding
6 (well actually 3) degrees of separation = J. Gluckert -> LtCol. Ollie North

Gluckert from Talon News.

The media contact at Talon News is Jen@Jenohman.com. The administrator contact for the domain Jenohman.com is Jennifer Ohman. Jennifer Ohman is Freedom Alliance’s Director of Public Affairs.

Freedom Alliance, a 501(c)3 educational and charitable foundation, was founded in 1990 by LtCol Oliver L. North, who now serves as the organization's honorary chairman.

13. Run Karl run....

Just gives me hope that Main Stream is going to be fueled by revenge, if not the need for truth, and we will get doors opened for the American public.

CBS Speculates That Karl Rove Was Jeff Gannon's Contact Inside the White House; Retitles Article to Highlight Gannongate Element

.

By ADVOCATE STAFF

In a stunning development -- which The Advocate can't help but feel is related to the revelation last fall that Karl Rove was possibly behind Rathergate and (therefore) CBS News's recent decline -- CBS News has gone out on a limb and made it clear that it suspects Karl Rove to be Jeff Gannon's White House Contact. The article, originally titled "Karl Rove's Warning to GOP," has just now been renamed, in the last few minutes, "Rove-Gannon Connection?" to emphasis that aspect of the story (which is not solely about Jeff Gannon) most relevant to the Gannongate scandal.

.

According to the article,

hen Jeff Gannon, White House "reporter" for Talon "News," was unmasked last week, the leap to a possible Rove connection was unavoidable. Gannon says that he met Rove only once, at a White House Christmas party, and Gannon is kind of small potatoes for Rove at this point in his career.

But Rove's dominance of White House and Republican politics, Gannon's aggressively partisan work and the ease with which he got day passes for the White House press room the past two years make it hard to believe that he wasn't at least implicitly sanctioned by the "boy genius." Rove, who rarely gave on-the-record interviews to the MSM (mainstream media), had time to talk to GOPUSA, which owns Talon.

-SNIP-

One of the stories he bragged about having first, according to Raw Story, related to the so-called Rathergate (or Memogate) affair -- which dovetails nicely with the first sentence in this article.

BREAKING NEWS: Gannon reportedly knew about "Shock and Awe" four
hours before it happened
by John in DC - 2/18/2005 09:57:00 AM

A news producer for a major network just told me that Gannon told
the producer the "shock and awe" campaign launching the Iraq war was
about to happen four hours before President Bush announced it to the
nation.

According to the producer, Gannon specifically told them that in four
hours the president was going to be making a speech to the nation
announcing the "shock and awe" campaign had begun. The producer told
me they were surprised that Gannon, working with such a small news
outfit, could have access to such information, but "what did you
know, he was right," the producer said today. The producer went on to
say that Gannon often had correct scoops on major stories, including
information about Mary Mapes and the Dan Rather BUSH/AWOL scandal
that this news outlet got from Gannon before any had the information
publicly.
