framts!
Seems Gannon knew alot of things, some in the biblical sense.
the only thing that bothers repubs about this whole gannon thing is the number of blogs posting about it. Please, carry on!

wow, I've not only overcome my posting shyness, look at me -- way up at the top! lol
Was Gannon involved in passing those docs? Would be sweeeet if this leads directly back to Karl's lair.
Time for a Congressional probe! I bet Jeff is up for that!
you mean "how" he knew that, not "who" he knew that.
Beautiful short and sweet comment.
Seems Gannon knew alot of things, some in the biblical sense.
How do we know that "Woodstock cat" was one of his aliases?
Well, we know for sure he wasn't sleeping with Mapes. . .
Probe. Eh hehe. Heh,heh...
Ahem.
Anyways, are any news services actually investigating this?
Let's ride this bad boy into the sunset with a (shades of Billy Idol) Dean-o Yell!!!!

In honor of Atrios Birthday, I declare this to be Feed the Trolls to Moloch Day.
Come on, we all know there was so little evidence that Bush was a crappy soldier that the left had to make some up! Duh!
Typo, Birthday Boy.
For what its worth, I've heard nary a peep on this anywhere but the internets. But my viewing is pretty much limited to a few minutes in morning during the week, and maybe a bit more on the weekends.
why don't we ever see pix of Rove's wife?
just askin'.
Paging Corky St. Clair...
BTW, Aravosis has a good post regarding wingnut CNS' throwing of Jiffy Jeff into the sea:
...this article should send a message to Gannon and other closeted Republicans. You're working for and with people who hate you. We might be pissed because you're selling yourself out. They're pissed because they loathe who you are. Big difference.
the obvious answer is that Jeff is a tough-as-nails investigative reporter with killer instincts - a nose for where the story is going and gets there first.
isn't that obvious ?

TJ on Digby's blog said that EPT posted here and that people are asking about him. I just talked to his brother and it isn't as bad as they thought. He's still very sick but they think he's going to recover.
His brother says to thank people for their good wishes. He will pass them on. EPT has only told his brother and me who he is so he probably would rather remain anonymous. His brother said that if he would like to be able to tell him that people are using a word he invented, cabloid. He used it for the cable news stations and asked his brother last week if he had heard anyone use it yet. He thinks that would make his day.
I will let you know if there is any more news.
Is Karl Rove married and if so has anyone met the beard?
Hectate, I haven't commented here much, but did you know that Laura Rozen recently quoted you on her Blog? Congrats!

i'd love to hear helen thomas ask :
"Scott, whose ass was being reamed by jeff gannon during his tenure as a WH correspondent ?"
I wonder if those dismissed CBS employees--Josh Howard, Mary Murphy, and Betsy West--know about this. It seems they already have a lawsuit in the works against CBS and Moonves for defamation.
Those two day courses are worth every penney.
Very Interesting.

Did someone say probe?
Bet JimJeff knows all about probes.
He. Hehe. Hehehe. You said Guckert.
so...
correct me if I am missing something here...
it's possible that the CBS documents story was a plant from Rove from the get-go?
interesting...
where would that take us?

Sure looks like he's one of the disinformation crusaders.
Has Mary Mapes been fired or asked to leave but she didn't? And how about her boss the suspected plant for Rather disinformation?
If this is all tied together it is too clumsy to be believed. But then disinformation always does have a certain smell.
heh. unintentional irony:

The story that Gannon appeared and asked "questions" in the white house before "talon news" existed leads to the obvious question--- So, who's boyfriend is he? The possible answers give us a pretty short list or probables.......??
patrick - It would take us back to James Hatfield territory, which is, regretably, where we had to suspect this would end up.

I believe the question becomes, "what did he know, and when did he know it?"
Or, who did he fuck and when did he fuck him? I can just hear a special prosecutor asking that question...
Y'know, if I was Dan Rather, I'd be pretty steamed that this Gannon tool was part and parcel of getting egg on my face. Therefore, you'd think Dan Rather would be someone who would want to break this story.
OT, but Jolly Jonah comes to the defense of Eason Jordan!
...(CNN) is going mad. It's like the Crucible or something. It's approaching an inquisition.... He was speaking to an off-the-record session of grown-ups. He said numerous times that he was offering theories he hoped would and could be falsified. And for this (he could lose his job). And he's already been forced to apologize three or four times (I'm losing count)... What is wrong with these people?
Oh, wait, I'm sorry, did I say Eason Jordan? I meant Harvard President Larry Summers!
I regret the error...
Any more Gannon disclosures and Rove will have to order a boost in the terrorism level.
Learn the ways of Bushito, if you wish to master Dung-Fu. Even if the CBS story wasn't a Rove set up per se, somebody somewhere knows where those documents came from. Even if they are fake per se, somebody had enough knowledge of the truth to make them appear convincing.
I'd love to hear helen thomas ask :
Scotty, did the president request a reach around?
Simels, is that you?
Something about the kerning...
Well, of course, the real story has
always been if the documents were
forged who did it and why.
Just one problem
While the pleasures of castigating the moral perfidy and hyocrisy of the Guckert-gate panty-raid has occupied our attentions, the fascist fux in the Congress have handed "BIG FUCKING BUSINESS" a multi-billion-dollar get-out-of-court card by moving class action suits from the state into Federal courts--where, not incidentally, the GOPhux also have ensconced some several hundred fellow fascist fux...
and they have approved virtually unanimously the death's headed, Zionist, fascist Jerkoff as head of Homeland Security, and put a known Death-squad facilitator and extreme GOPuke party loyalist in charge of ALL the combined US intelligence gathering services, both foreign and domenstic...
And I'll bet not a dozen Senators got input about these egregiously wrong-headed appointments or this fucking aweful piece of legislation...
C'mon folks...

just sayin...

Gannon is Bush's boyfriend.

I wonder if there are any regrets about writing things like this.
yes, i'm curious too, sandals. tv watchers: who's covered this so far?
Other than the cabloids? NBC Nightly News had the story on last night's broadcast. It would seem that Rather would be interested in a little redemption but I didn't catch his broadcast this week.
Get well soon, EPT.
If you look at Gannon's Free Republic posts, you'll also notice that he's VERY well informed about political doings in South Dakota, and that he says at least once that he's provided information to Hannity.
dave:
snark aside, Jordan was correct. US troops have intentionally targeted journalists, especially arab ones. He was not speculating on the genetic 'fitness' of half the human population to fill some of the best and most sought-after jobs in the entire spectrum of US employment...

One of the freeper comments:

Heh.
steve:

only no spaces between
So here's Jolly Jonah bitching about his current fave straw man:
Meanwhile, that no-talent-ass-clown Ward Churchill is a champion of free speech for refusing to apologize or even "back-up one inch" on his statement that the decent, innocent victims of 9/11 were the moral equivalent of the man who sent babies and old women to the gas chambers.
Then, he approvingly posts an email he got from "a reader at Harvard" about the Summers' case, that includes this gem:
I also hate the notion, which MUST necessarily follow from this kerfuffle, that there are things one cannot discuss. Academic freedom: yeah right!
Jolly Jonah likes that last line so much, he uses it for the title of his post.
Am I missing something here?
Soliciting responses to my post @ 1:49 pm in the "I Get Letters" thread, if anyone is so inclined, I would appreciate some serious suggestions. I will try to raise the findings of the Social Security Advisory Board as to the affects that raising the cap will have on SS's deficit and Bush's recent statements concerning the cap.
"Will this guy [Gannon] turn out to be Deep Throat as well?"
There's another comment they're going to regret.
If this ended with Scotty he would have been "spending more time with his family" long ago.
Their "tort reform" ideas are worse. I suspect the real purpose of med mal reform is to effectively federalize med mal through preemption. Nobody's malpractice insurance premiums will decreas, of course.
I've been here under disguise. Always keep 'em guessing.
I would love to see Bush under oath and drilled with questions about his relationship with Gannon.

Another very interesting Gannon comment:
Mary Mapes is DEFINITELY behind the story, this is who I told Sean Hannity got the documents. She also obtained the Abu Ghraib photos.
(BTW, I've saved all Gannon FR comments to my hard drive in case they suddenly get disappeared.)
It's also curious that Ari hasn't come out with his book yet. Maybe it can be called "Rubbed by power: a phallicomorph's days in the White House."

Oh, yeah...Roger something. The guy with the bad hair plugs.
I feel sad for JimJeff Gannon. I’m sure his suicide note has been written.
An ex-Marine, actually or in his fantasies; a truck painter and Delaware Resident with a $21,000 state tax judgement; a hustler who sets up gay web sites to promote his male escort service; suddenly, overnight, becomes a White House reporter. A reporter who scopes Mary Mapes, Valerie Plame and the start of the Iraq War. A White House reporter who never got a proper security clearance.
There can only be one scenario. JimJeff has a very high level mentor in the White House. The only way a truck painting Delaware resident meets a White House high level source who knows when a war is starting is through his escort service. Will tabloid corporate media find the mentor or has the GOP reinvention of the media has progressed so far that the story dies? I fear shortly Eschaton will link to the weekly Niagra Falls Reporter which on the back page story states that the body of the late JimJeff Gannon was found in a park in upper New York State. NY State Police state it was clearly a suicide.
Well, of course, the real story has
always been if the documents were
forged who did it and why.

WGG, you're right, there are more important issues, but it's a chicken and egg thing. How are people going to know the truth about anything this admin is doing unless we can wake the media out of its stupor? The SCLM seem to be pretty hopeless, so it may be easier to get more people to look at alternative news sources, and the Gannon story is helping with that. And Gannon is "our"(meaning the bloggers) story, it started here, so naturally a little gloating and schadenfreude is in order.
I still feel as though we, yes even we cynics, are giving this group the benefit of the doubt, treating this like a "Gee, I wonder what happened?"
I say, assume the worst. It's worked every single fucking time with this crowd.
Guckert was blackmailing someone and demanded high access and visibility, or else he'd tell. With no proof to the contrary, that's the story. The only question is which member(s) (ahem) of the Administration is he blackmailing?
Ha!

Science Points to a 'Sixth Sense'
By Ed Edelson
HealthDay Reporter
THURSDAY, Feb. 17-- Ever get a gut feeling something just isn't quite right, and make a decision accordingly? Science is beginning to suggest those instincts may have roots deep in the brain.
Research in young volunteers points to some kind of "sixth sense" -- a mechanism in the brain that picks up on subtle clues, then sends out subconscious signals of trouble ahead.
The finding could help explain certain intuitive phenomena seen among humans. For example, in the recent Asian tsunami, aboriginal people sought out higher ground in the moments before the disaster, as did many wild animals. Could subtle changes in weather or the environment have warned them early on?
Just such an early warning system may exist in the anterior cingulate cortex, a brain area important in processing complex information, according to a report by psychologists at Washington University in St. Louis. Their findings appear in the Feb. 18 issue of the journal Science
"What is wrong with these people?"
Um, 'these people'? Sentient humans? Women? Adults? Hard to know, Jonah. Think real hard, maybe it'll all come to you, like magic!
The whole Gannon thing just seems so un-Machiavellian
Wasn't Nicolo's strategy to have different pawns doing different things so that the right hand didn't know what the left hand was doing?
Someone help me out.
Bliekker,
Wasn't it Al Jazeera who provided their exact GPS coordinates to the U.S. military so they wouldn't accidentally get bombed, and then had a "love letter" delivered directly to them instead?
so guckertt's drag name is "lucy ramirez"????
i havent been here lately, has WH'HO weighed in on this????
Harlan Ellison once claimed that he was told to include a white male character in a ensemble lawyer series he was doing. So he created a character called "Christian White". And he says that he almost got away with the name.
schadenfreude
What's funny is that Rush keeps using and mispronouncing this word.
Come on God, I'm rooting for you here.. We need this one to restore our hope in, well, You. This would be a tremendous boost, however long it takes, if the threads started to pull away and the tapestry unraveled, revealing these charlatans for what they are. The sound of 50 million heads simultaneously exploding! Ahh!

I googgled "Roger republican wife swapping".
I just never figured out how to
work Haloscan. So I have to keep

It's the line breaks that are odd... when I type in Haloscan's little box, I have automatic wraparound.
But I don't know anything about Haloscan, either (which is one reason I don't have my own blog, though I keep threatening...)
There are two pieces that may fit into this puzzle. Earlier today I saw on Americablog or somewhere, some history of texas repub combinations, Rove, Norquist, Eberle, etc., and there was a Gannon International mentioned in conjuction w/some of the historical operatives. Wonder where JGJG derived his nom de whatever? Anyone looked them up?
Also I'm reminded of the hoopla about a year ago about the Iranian code having been broken by US and somehow that information was leaked to Chalabi via a high white house person who was drunk? Did that ever get resolved, and was JGJG around back then too?
I thought the story was that the authentic versions of those documents were shredded in Austin.
That was perhaps the most interesting aspect of the story, and the one most quickly disappeared by the state-run media.
Killian's secretary said that the documents CBS possessed were not authentic, original documents... However, she also noted that they appeared to be re-creations of documents that did exist, and that she had seen.
According to her account, the actual story related by CBS, based on those documents, was correct, even if the documents themselves were not the originals that were produced by Col. Killian.
Early on I remember reading speculation that Guckert was among the Brooks Bros. rioters. Anyone know what happened w/that?

Yeah, because they were bombed in Kabul. So either the military was spicifically targeting them or was completely incompetent. Given the other events of the day...

Keep digging, the big boys are starting to pay attention.
The male part of the creepy couple is Roger Stone.
The origins of the moniker "Bulldog" Gannon / Guckert?
From the TLA Video website:
Bulldog Drummond
REVIEW:
In his first sound film, (Ronald) Colman's splendid performance illustrates why he was one of the most popular actors of his time. Colman is the ever-glib and suave Capt. "Bulldog" Drummond, the ex-British Army officer looking for excitement. He finds it when he places an ad offering his services to anyone for anything. It's Bennett who answers, involving Drummond in a kidnapping, blackmail and murder scheme, as her uncle is being held against his will. The film holds up surprisingly well, and features a nifty plot, good humor and fun characters.

It turns out that this whole Gannon thing is just the White House's way of trying to implement an outreach program:
The Bush Administration today said that its credentialing of a Republican prostitute to the White House press pool was part of a job training and escort outreach initiative. "It's part of a program of good works," said Press Secretary Scott McClellan.
...
White House officials denied that they had issued credentials to Guckart because he was a Republican prostitute. "We credential escorts regardless of their party affiliation," Scott McClellan said. When pressed, McClellan admitted that, so far as he knew, none of the rest of the the White House press corps were "professionals."
McClellan said that the White House was not concerned about any security risks that might be associated with the admission of professional escorts to the White House. "When you take the necessary precautions, it's almost entirely safe," he said.
At least one prominent Democrat was not pleased with the so-called program. "I have a suggestion," said Congressman John Conyers. "Abstinence."
Deer editer:
You shoud know that Jeff Ganon who is a reprtr from Talin news once worked with us at Uncle Pee Pee's Bargain Basement Bathhouse and desiner bidays.

This quote from Ari's interview with E&P makes sense:
" 'I found out that he worked for a GOP site, and I didn't think it was my place to call on him because he worked for something that was related to the party,' Fleischer said in a phone interview. 'He had the editor call me and made the case that they were not related to the Republican Party. He said they used the GOP name for marketing purposes only.'
"He said he resumed calling on Guckert, who used the alias Jeff Gannon, after Bobby Eberle, owner of both GOPUSA and Talon News, 'assured me that they were not part of the Republican Party.' Eberle is a Texas Republican activist and served as a delegate to the 2000 Republican National Convention."
Now..because Guckert was in the press room prior to the creation of Talon, he could only have been working for GOPUSA right? With that assumption, what Ari is saying in the first sentence make sense:
'I found out that he worked for a GOP site, and I didn't think it was my place to call on him because he worked for something that was related to the party,'
Ari is clearly talking about GOPUSA here.
So, with that....back to Ari...
'He had the editor call me and made the case that they were not related to the Republican Party. He said they used the GOP name for marketing purposes only.
And, then, Talon News is created...and that provides Ari the ability to call on Guckert because he, was not longer working "for a GOP site..."
Wasn't Nicolo's strategy to have different pawns doing different things so that the right hand didn't know what the left hand was doing?
Yeah, but Lame Duckie didn't get that far into the book.

I never doubted it, babe.
"In an article last year, Guckert, as Gannon, wrote that Democratic senator John Kerry "might someday be known as 'the first gay president.' The Massachusetts liberal has enjoyed a 100 percent rating from the homosexual advocacy group, the Human Rights Campaign (HRC), since 1995 in recognition of his support for the pro-gay agenda.""
from the Memphis Flyer
Steve: "It's a pain in the ass", but you're always pith with some class.
I agree with Hecate on whether or not Gannon is of sufficient importance to discuss. I think it's pretty obvious that this story is bigger than it seems. There are so many questions unanswered and too many Repug players involved for there not to be something really important here.
I don't know what could have been done about class actions/tort reform.

Attaturk, the big boys I want to pay attention are the US prosecutors... if John's story of this guy having knowledge of 'shock and awe' that is a breach of national security... that plus plame means some real shit is happening.
Based on this, could it have been Ari's suggestion to Eberle to create Talon news so as to create a "barrier" between Talon News and GOPUSA....
" 'I found out that he worked for a GOP site, and I didn't think it was my place to call on him because he worked for something that was related to the party,' Fleischer said in a phone interview. 'He had the editor call me and made the case that they were not related to the Republican Party. He said they used the GOP name for marketing purposes only.'
"He said he resumed calling on Guckert, who used the alias Jeff Gannon, after Bobby Eberle, owner of both GOPUSA and Talon News, 'assured me that they were not part of the Republican Party.' Eberle is a Texas Republican activist and served as a delegate to the 2000 Republican National Convention."
Now..because Guckert was in the press room prior to the creation of Talon, he could only have been working for GOPUSA right? With that assumption, what Ari is saying in the first sentence make sense:
'I found out that he worked for a GOP site, and I didn't think it was my place to call on him because he worked for something that was related to the party,'
Ari is clearly talking about GOPUSA here.
So, with that....back to Ari...
'He had the editor call me and made the case that they were not related to the Republican Party. He said they used the GOP name for marketing purposes only.
And, then, Talon News is created...and that provides Ari the ability to call on Guckert because he, was not longer working "for a GOP site..."

Al Franken may fly over the air waves and strangle G Gordon if this keeps up much longer. G Gordon is blaming the Guckert uncovery on David Brock.
Stupid me, I spent four years and thousands of dollars going to college to become a journalist when all I needed to get a plum WH gig was 50 bucks and a free weekend. Well, maybe it takes more than that, but I'm not that kind of boy.
No need to know anything about Haloscan to do your own blog. If I can get a blog going, anyone can.
I can set up the blog (and I have, for test purposes, and for a thing with some friends where we track Kentucky Derby news for the weeks before the race).
But it's working with the troll shields I'm thinking of... of course, that presupposes anyone would read it!

cliff hearts gannon:
The Gannon “scandal” would be laughable, were it not for the fact that Gannon’s personal privacy has been invaded and his mother, in her 70s, had to endure harassing telephone calls from those on the political left trying to dig up dirt.
The campaign against Gannon demonstrates the paranoid mentality and mean-spirited nature of the political left.

Burkett, a top advisor to Major General Daniel James at the Air Guard, was working at Camp Mabry with Major General James when a call came in from Joe Allbaugh, the chief of staff to then-Governor George W. Bush. Bush was about to get a political polishing up for his White House run, with a ghost-written autobiography, which would include his heroic years during the war in Vietnam. Allbaugh, according to Burkett, stated that Bush political operatives Karen Hughes and Dan Bartlett would be dropping by the Air Guard offices to look at the war record and wanted to, "make sure there's nothing in there that'll embarrass the governor."
According to Burkett, the general and his minions who work for the governor, not the US Air Force, took this as an unsubtle hint from the boss to purge the record. Lt. Col. Burkett, both curious and disturbed by the call, wondered how his fellow comrades-in-arms would respond. His answer was in the trash-to-be-shredded bin: George Bush's military pay records.

Ich die Schadenfreude sehr, SEHR mag!!! Ganz!!!
None more; trust me...
I am afraid this is another clever stratagem. It is so almost exactly what the Dems are still infuriated about in the attacks on Clinton...It is so tantalizingly close to fuckin payback for all that shit they underwent for their association with the cum stain on the little blue smock...
But, unless GucGan is demonstrably Bush's lover--love letters in deleted files, momentos of trysts--the key word in the equation is, and will remain, almost.
I fear starting to feel smug about these revelations...the bag man's busted, but the loan shark gets away...this hasn't touched anybody important at all...Scotty? his press office? some aide or secretary? it's gaseous, but i don't think it has enough toxicity (yet?) to touch the ultimate "top" at the TOP...Even if the record goes back to (F)Ari, where's the harm? '02? '03? when it started? it just doesn't matter, unless gannon was getting to use the Lincoln bedroom for business purposes...

Uh oh. we've unleashed an emoticon monster in steve. Will all his posts be accented with smiley faces from now on?

We take her for granted - I sometimes think she's really running things. she's just like her mother in law - that's why the Bushes picked her for Georgie and why they decided to run Georgie for office.

Easy there, big guy. Don't want to earn a Hecate rant your first day here.
Did bill "the whale" bennett have a body guard on his late night gambling junkets to vegas?
Just asking.
Oops, not G Gordon, that was yesterday's show. Cliff somebody was on the end of Franken's show today.
"In an article last year, Guckert, as Gannon, wrote that Democratic senator John Kerry "might someday be known as 'the first gay president."
Nah. Didn't we read somewhere that Honest Abe was gay?
Maybe Moloch or Ba'al themselves might correct me - but I would imagine Moloch would be more likely to appreciate troll sacrifices than Ba'al would be. Doesn't Moloch especially appreciate nice young sacrifices? And aren't trolls especially immature?
Sending good energy to EPT. I have enjoyed our conversations a lot.
abyssgazer,
I'd love to know the answer to that question. I remember some fairly interesting stuff that made it seem as if perhaps the Mrs. may have been the mystery lady who handed off the docs at some rodeo or something. Interesting as heck if JimmyJeff knew about the Mapes info because he heard it from his "friends." Don't know, just speculating....

Oh,I wish I was in the land of Crawford. Old men like their prostates boffered. Reach around, reach around, reach around...

Its great to see you here. I bet you are on "top" of the Guckert story like a good soldier should be.
Wasn't Nicolo's strategy to have different pawns doing different things so that the right hand didn't know what the left hand was doing?
Yeah, but Lame Duckie didn't get that far into the book.

With all seriousness, I really think someone in the administration is involved with him and is being sloppy (see my Pillow Talk posts on the earlier thread today).

Heh heh heh.. "conservative truth"
Now THAT'S funny...
LJ,
Plus NTodd is hot and smart, with a healthy dash of snark. Gotta love that!
Good to see Jesus' General in the house.
From Foomkin:
And finally, it's worth noting that the White House press corps appears to consider this less of a story than a lot of other people do. Case in point: President Bush took almost 20 questions at yesterday's press conference, and not one of them was about Guckert.
Sigh. How do these clowns live with themselves?
cliff kincaid?: If Barny Frank hired gannon for the weekend nobody would care.
I just heard the Kincaid exchange on Franken's show. Unfortunately for Kincaid, Joe Conason was there to crush him into little crouton crumbs. As Conason pointed out, you know when your opponent has lost the argument when he changes the subject.
Conason kills GOP cockroaches dead. If there were any media balance in this country at all he'd have his own cable show. He knows his shit in a way that no talking head on TV today does. The closest thing the right wing has to a Conason is Tucker Carlson, and that's just pathetic.
Hecate,
I just googled a bit--it seems others on Kos and DU have thought of Stone, just as you did. No major revelations as of yet, but they do have the Morton Blackwell connection.
Moloch was definitely more bloodthirsty than Ba'al, but their both a lot easier to spell than Huitzilopochtli.
Mary:

Yes. Moloch like them young and juicy. Trolls nice and fat and full of Cheetos. Yum Yum

But Laura could have read it to him.
You have heard about the recent clamor to have the GWB Presidential library in Austin? All two of his coloring books will be on display.
WGG, to me this story is about the discredited SCUM, as much as anything else.
Later, folks. I have to go out now, but I'll be back tonight for the birthday party.
swifferboat...which is exactly why you don't see Conason on TV with Hannity or O'Reilly or any other right wing blowhards. Conason makes those dips look bad and everyone knows it.

Um...did you get the memo from Sully? He's on hiatus from blogging.
Shame on you all for denigrating Jeff Gannon's probing journalism and helping the President's groping intellect.

Tena, that was pretty much the same declaration the AZ Republican Party handed out over Nathan Sproul and his happy band of shysters - with good ol' Nate being right there on boards and stuff with the whole damn crew. I think the denial is pretty much pre-printed on little cards, like the Miranda warning.
Odd that Sully hasn't returned to comment on Guckertgannon. After all, the mere receipt of an email was sufficient to bring him back before.

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.
Bobby served as President of the Houston Young Republicans, the Director of Club Development of the Texas Young Republican Federation, and as a three-term State Chairman of the Texas Young Republican Federation. On the national level, Bobby served as Chairman of the State Chairmen's Association. Bobby also served as Vice Chairman at Large of the Young Republican National Federation.
Bobby has volunteered extensively with the Institute of International Education. In his capacity as a speaker on politics and the youth movement, Bobby has given educational presentations to dignitaries from Chile, Poland, Hungary, and The Netherlands. In addition, he has served as a construction volunteer and as a member of the Volunteer Coordination Committee for the Houston, Texas chapter of Habitat for Humanity.
In 1998, Bobby was selected as one of only 96 people in Texas to serve on the Board of Directors of the Texas Lyceum Association. This organization, which has included in its membership such notable Texas leaders as President George W. Bush, Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison, and Governor Rick Perry, is comprised of political and civic leaders under the age of forty. Also in 1998, Bobby was named to Outstanding Young Men of America.
Bobby has been married for over thirteen years to Kathleen Eberle, M.D. They have an 8 year old daughter named Charlotte and a 3 year old son named Tres.

Bobby Eberle's wife was a delegate in 2000 for the state Republican convention in Texas. She was also high up in the Houston Young Republicans.
Bobby Eberle was a Vice (heh) chairman for the Young Republicans National Federation, too.
These folks all know each other in Texas and they're lying if they say they don't.
The Texas Republican Party knows something about Eberle and Guckert and how it relates to the White House.
Otherwise they wouldn't be sprinting away from this, like they are.
I could see the spokesperson saying that SHE didn't know Eberle. But her further response that no one else there knew him either is kind of interesting. She canvassed the membership of the Texas Republican Party before taking questions?
When answers like this are given, shouldn't reporters be simultaneously coughing and saying "bullshit"?
Or do they stay quiet for fear that the Texas Republican Party will dishonor their not-yet-cashed checks?
Boss Tweed would gape in amazement.
Or rather, Eberle's wife was a delegate for the Senate 13 Delegate Convention. It probably wouldn't take long to dig up if Sylvester attended.

I let rip on the academic Stalinists baying for Summers' blood on the Chris Matthews Show this weekend. I cannot believe the hysteria. Well, actually, the sad things is I can believe it. But if Summers goes down, the chilling effect on intellectual freedom in this country will be intense. That's what the far left wants - turning universities into propaganda tools rather than centers for genuine intellectual inquiry. The idea of the university, to purloin Newman and Oakeshott, is under attack. This is about far more than university politics. It's about the future of free inquiry.
Wonder what he has to say about Ward Churchill?

I'm in the hallway at Madison Square Garden leading out from Radio Row through the filing center to the escalator which leads into the convention. Karl Rove just passed me. He looked down on me smiling. It was the friendly smile of a man trying to make contact, not so disimilar from the men who used to promise me things when I was a stripper ten years ago in Chicago. The Jons would say things like, "What do you want to do? Are you an actor? I can help you. I know an agent." That's the way they were, always making promises they had no intention of keeping, anything to get their fingers dirty. "Come over," they would say. "I have a limosine out front. I'll send the maid home." Then they would stuff a dollar bill in your underwear as if they were big spenders.

GWPDA - I think the denial is pretty much pre-printed on little cards, like the Miranda warning.
Nice.
And no doubt pretty close to the truth.
Just as an aside, last night at the ElectionProtection meeting, we were talking about the incident reports all our poll watchers turned in after the election. Turns out, the Repugs trained their poll watchers to be completely disruptive at every polling station where they were present. We weren't when we were trained - and there were no complaints made about Dem poll watchers.
But the Repugs apparently were told to be thugs. Just fits, doesn't it? Goddamned brownshirts.
...Sullivan's
back at it with (as far as I can tell)
no explanation for why.
I wonder if he didn't have a big deal fall through...
BTW, why do I get the feeling that Silly Sully's sudden "conversion" from hard-core brownshirt-ism to a more "liberal" tone isn't somehow financial?
In 2000, Bobby served on the RPT's Temporary and Permanent Rules Committees at the State Convention, and he served as the Program Chairman for the 2000 RPT State Convention.....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.
And Sherry Sylvester, just kinda forgets him. Heh
"But the Repugs apparently were told to be thugs. Just fits, doesn't it? Goddamned brownshirts."
And, evidently lacking any concept of civic responsibility, they complied. Delightful.

NYMary,
I'm still blind in one eye.
Okay, think about how the phony Clinton "scandals" were created, and we may have a clue to how Memogate was invented and its link to Gannon.
The VRWC never seems to have any sort of grand plan to its plots -- they're mostly (but not wholly) improvised off whatever information or disinformation it's possible to spread at any given point in time. The misrepresentations and distortions concocted by right-wing operatives with regard to a $48K land deal eventually led -- via an incredibly byzantine trail of improvised VRWC plots -- to President Clinton's impeachment over lies about an affair that was none of our damn business.
Now, back to Memogate. IMHO, based on what facts we know, the document in question was probably faked but also contained accurate information -- the officer's secretary said she didn't type it up but that it reflected his POV toward Shrub at that time. My guess is that a) the officer himself typed up a similar document; b) the original document was scrubbed by Poppa Bush et al when they went thru the TANG files circa 1997-8; and c) a new, phony document was created by GOP dirty tricksters in late 2003-early 2004, probably to entice one or more of the Democratic primary candidates into using it.
The document was then given (by Roger Stone and his wife?) to an angry but naive patsy, Burkett, who then tried to interest at least one campaign in it, Kerry's. The Kerry people didn't take the bait. Somewhere along the line, CBS got interested in the document and bit. (Did someone suggest to Burkett that he might try CBS?) When questions were raised inside CBS as to the document's authenticity, they came to the same conclusion as the Thronburgh commission: the evidence was inconclusive as to whether it was phony or real. However, the trump card for CBS was that the information contained in the document was backed up by other evidence and witnesses, so they went ahead with the story.
Once the story was aired, within hours the GOP Slime Machine went to work, with political operatives who had no special skills raising highly technical questions about typography. Sure sounds to me like this operative, Buckhead, had been prepped beforehand. Then sometime during the post-broadcast period, someone leaked correct info to Gannon about Mary Mapes' role.
My antennae are up, because this kind of dirty trick is right up Karl Rove's alley. Remember, we're talking about the guy who once bugged his own office, then called a press conference to accuse a Dem of doing the bugging. (Not to mention the stench still remaining from Tapegate during Election 2000. Perhaps some enterprising blogger might try to find the woman who pled guilty, who should be out of jail by now) and see whether she's living a lifestyle far above her pre-conviction means.)
that was a REAL article from GOPUSA !
What's the "Lubbock rate?"
Anybody know anything more about endeavor media group and Micheal R Humphrey? The day after Guckert-o-rama started, the ownership of Talon & GOPUSA websites was taken over by them.
Gannon and Buckhead were tipped off ahead of time by those in the know in the White House. The documents were a classic Rove ploy, from the guy who once bugged his own office in order to blame it on his candidate's opponent. The whole thing stinks to high heaven. Where is the New York Times, Washington Post, broadcast network investigation into this?
Anyone think this might be a setup?
How do you get Dems to start gay-bashing?
Put one in the White House under a Republican administration.
How do you whip up furor among your base for an anti-gay agenda?
Point out to all the rednecks how the gays were trying to break our national security and get to the president.
Maybe a stretch, but I wouldn't put it past this group to try and pull it off.
God, that guy is so full of shit.
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."
Anybody want to take bets that she's a liar?
Vegas oddsmakers would love to have one this easy. 
...Sullivan's
back at it with (as far as I can tell)
no explanation for why.
So he's blogging again? You know, his entire hiatus thing sounded like a cry for attention from the start. douche bag.
How do you get Dems to start gay-bashing?
What are you talking about?
Pointing out rank hypocrisy ≠ "gay-bashing"
On Franken's radio show, your man Kinkaid kept complaining about the gay tolerant left dishing dirt about Jeff Gannon's personal life.
I was waiting for Joe Conason, national treasure, to explain to Kinkaid that whatever service one is providing, if it is billed at $200/HR it qualifies as one's professional life.

Interesting as heck if JimmyJeff knew about the Mapes info because he heard it from his "friends." Don't know, just speculating....
Hecate
Apparently, he emailed Hannity that Mapes was the recepient at CBS of the docs. It is not important at this point to build the whole chain of custody of docs - only that JimmyJeff knew that Mapes received them before anyone knew and leaked it to Hannity, who then broadcast it. It indeed turned out to be true - it was Mapes that received the docs. So those at Americablog are questioning how he knew, leading to the suspicions that WH orchestrated the whole thing and that JJ had inside connections in WH (Rove?) and so on.
Seraphiel, yes, it's too easy. Eberle lists all his Repub acheivements in his bio. Bill Fairbrother, another GOPUSA board member, is Chairman of the Williamson County Republican Party- see more here
GWPDA - And, evidently lacking any concept of civic responsibility, they complied. Delightful.
That's exactly what I was told. The Repug poll watchers were in everyone's faces and as disruptive as they could possibly be.
There is a certain blog that is diggging deep into this guy's private life. Detail of his sexual history, parties (orgies) he has attended.
All I'm saying is that when you lose focus of the professional aspect of this, sure it can be construed as gay-bashing.

On Franken's radio show, your man Kinkaid kept complaining about the gay tolerant left dishing dirt about Jeff Gannon's personal life.
Obviously, this is the new Talking Point, as used by our new "friend" above...
ecoast - so if this is true, then it means there was a conspiracy and that's how they got the doctored docs to CBS.
Holy shit - this is exactly what I thought happened. I said over and over that the whole thing had Rove written all over it - it isn't too far off the shit he pulled here when he was running Bush for gov. Goddamn it - I would be willing to bet a lot of money that this is exactly how they did it.
I'm hiding in the closet. Don't tell anyone, ok?

http://rampagingpms.blogspot.com/
dave - they've been building this talking point for the last couple of days. Sounds like they've done the finish-out.
God they're stupid.
When you think about it W himself and Gannon/Guckert have alot in common. Gannon/Guckert pretended to be a lonely Marine looking for "escort" work, although I don't remember seeing anywhere that he had ever served in the military. Little Bushie dressed up like a fighter pilot and pretended he was one. Gannon/Guckert pretended to be an accredited journalist even though he never went to journalism school. Little Bushie fashions himself a war president but when he had a chance to go fight in one himself he opted not to and let others do it for him much like he's doing today. Maybe one night W was surfing the web in his flightsuit pajamas, assuming he knows how to use a computer, and ran across one of Jimmy-Jeff's websites and liked what he saw because Laura just ain't getting it done anymore. Oh well, just something to think about.
How do you whip up furor among your base for an anti-gay agenda?
Nah. I think the promotion of a gay prostitute by a highly placed GOP sponsor to the WH press corps will do serious damage to the GOP's vote-winning image as gay hating. That's why they're trying to kill this aspect of the story by calling us hypocrites for bringing it up. They're trying to mind-numb their homophobic constituency into not reacting to Gannon's sexual orientation by diverting the focus to "liberal hypocrisy." Just like the Mary Cheney debate mention. All of the focus went onto Kerry; not onto the VP's gay daughter.
catelexis: Randi does play the original version by Rusty Warren. Don't know if Bette ever recorded it, but that's Rusty you hear every Friday.
How do you get Dems to start gay-bashing?
-seriousquery
Troll food?
Funny that you focus on the gay thing. It has nothing to do with him being gay. He's a PROSTITUTE IN THE WHITE HOUSE.
Sully has gone completely certifiably insane. He just went right over the side with that, dave. Jesus, what a fucking shill.
Wonder how much the WH is paying him to say that?
"In an article last year, Guckert, as Gannon, wrote that Democratic senator John Kerry "might someday be known as 'the first gay president."
Nah. Didn't we read somewhere that Honest Abe was gay? - Shaw Kenawe
Yes, and so was James Buchanan.
It has nothing to do with him being gay.
I disagree a little. We don't give a shit that Gannon/Guckert's gay, but the GOP's homophobic constituency will care enough to pay attention to the more important parts of Propagannongate. That's why they're trying to frame this as "liberal hypocrites threaten life of gay men." Kind of like the Mary Cheney strategy in attempt to make the whole scandal go away.
Obviously, I've touched a nerve and I apologize. I'm not trying to focus on the gay thing.
But when I turn over to Kos this morning and his lead entry is about this guy's sexual adventures throughout Washington last December...well...we're losing focus.
And that's the only thing I meant by my original statment and how this White House is more than capable of spinning that to their advantage.
I'll shut up now.
...they've been building this talking point for the last couple of days. Sounds like they've done the finish-out.
As I mentioned much earlier, AmericaBLOG has a good post refuting this.
Yeah, the "stop digging in the poor man's private life" advice from the far right dirtdiggers who spent 8 years digging in President Clinton's life. The people who burst in on a sick old man asking him if his dead daughter had had a baby by Clinton. The people who pushed the black love child crap. The people who spread rumors about Chelsea.
There is a certain blog that is diggging deep into this guy's private life. Detail of his sexual history, parties (orgies) he has attended.
He was running websites selling his services as a prostitute.
It is a legitimate question to ask whether those sex parties were attended as part of his escort service.
That's not personal; that's business.
I'll shut up now.
SeriousQuery
Thank you.
Holy shit - this is exactly what I thought happened. I said over and over that the whole thing had Rove written all over it - it isn't too far off the shit he pulled here when he was running Bush for gov. Goddamn it - I would be willing to bet a lot of money that this is exactly how they did it.

Tena, for those of us who didn't get it all can you give a quick summation?
If this Gannon story really heats up, the Syrians and Iranis better stay off any small planes, if you know what I mean.
OK -new info is that Talon and GOPUSA changed ownership as of monday and sold to a Michael Aiello who owns that Men's News Daily where you can find archives of not-jeff-gannon's writing. seems like a shell game has begun with phoney companies created around hiding connections to not-jeff-gannon.
we are on the trail.....
Now, Kenosha, don't sulk. I wasn't the one who decided this. I honored the votes. And, unlike other places, the votes are right there in plain sight.
What's that supposed to imply, hm?
SHG, I think Tena was referring to this post about Guckert:

Any Texans who want to do a little physical digging in your state? Google has been fantastic but I'm wondering if we need to make the leap.
All you pervs looking for my site, click on my homepage link. I'm on drugs. No telling what I put in the links in the comments section.
One wonders how JimmyJeff knew that.
One (at least this one) wonders why we have not had a gaggle since Wednesday.
A reminder kids - it's Ignore the Moronic Brownshirt Fucks Day.
Holden, yeah, I'm curious about that too. Any ideas?
Has anyone logged all the times that Guckannon seems to have tipped Hannity off? Love that quote from Sean about how Gannon is this phenomenal reporter.
I'm sure (Colmes) will grill his sparring partner about what he knows about JimJeff on their next show, right?
Oh, there's no doubt.

Well, yesterday Chimpy had his little press conference to announce his selection of Johnny Deathsquad as NDI, and that was about when they usually hold the gaggle. So I can understand cancelling the gaggle for Thursday.
But I don't know why they had none today. Maybe they did and I just hven't found the transcript yet. Maybe JimmyJeff has it.

Well, I wouldn't put it past them. They are trying to cover their tracks on this, that's for certain.
"Apparently, he emailed Hannity that Mapes was the recepient at CBS of the docs."
I know I am repeating myself, but if I were Dan Rather, I would use every resource available to research this issue.
I would bet a lot that the documents were planted (a lot of us suspected that from the beginning). If he isn't already, Rather should get on this. It has ALWAYS reeked of Rove.
no imagination - SHG, I think Tena was referring to this post about Guckert:
Yep.
Thanks. I must have missed the question.
You have heard about the recent clamor to have the GWB Presidential library in Austin? All two of his coloring books will be on display.

Jan 12, 2013 Talon News
(Austin) Tragedy struck today at the George W Bush Preznital Liebury. An early morning fire raced through the building, severely damaging the archives. While "The Pet Goat" escaped the licking of flames, the other two thirds of the collection were fire damaged. To further compound the tragedy, one of them hadn't even been fully colored yet.
that whole fucking corporation is a front - it's a front for Repug operations - tricks, raising money under the radar - you name it.
I woule bet my last dollar on it.
I did some kicking around yesterday and found the idiotic Christmas letter on his GOPUSA site where Eberle also thanked his wife, Republican direct mail muckity muck Bruce Eberle (without commenting on any relation or not -- he even didn't even refer to his wife as anything but "Kathleen Eberle"), Watergate felon G. Gordon Liddy, Karl Rove and Grover Norquist.
So, to think that he singled out this group of people who gave him "assistance, guidance and friendship", yet the party in his own state doesn't know him reaches beyond the pale and into "why, exactly, are they lying about Eberle?"
Better yet, I came across a funny little sidenote trying to google some connection between Liddy and JeffJim (figuring that butch, bald Marines might have a few things in common). It turns out Gannon had done some breathless reports about Liddy's nutball cheesecake calendar where the criminal gets big titted women to pose with guns -- and how there's an 'feminist' site that in the most lurid, shrill way possible 'opposes' the calendar (it's pretty obviously a goof on Liddy's part (and a pretty funny one at that), but you wouldn't get that from Gannon's fool article.)
Here's where it gets even funnier. Follow the links and it appears that "opposition" site is allegedly run by "Concerned Women for America" (www.cwfa.org), which is an actual organization linked to fundies like Bev (wife of Tim) LaHaye (the fake Liddy site links to a real CWA article earnestly titled, "Hard-Core Harm: Why You Can't Be Soft on Porn", which breaks new ground in the rich field of unintentional irony.
This story just keeps on giving. Finally, a reason to be thankful the Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy exists.
Gannon's 8+ seems to be only the tip of it !
I swear to the goddess that JimmyJeffJeff is the linke between Rove, CBS and the wingnut blogs that "discovered" the forgeries.
It was the last thing I couldn't quite get - there was always something missing - it's JimmyJeffJeff, the Freeper.
Um, a simple idea:
Has anyone made a public request for White House guest logs (tee hee, I said "logs") to determine when Gannon ever visited the White House?
JimmyJeffJeff is the missing link to a lot of things, it is starting to seem.
Thanks. I must have missed the question.- Tena
Sure, as a habitual lurker, I tend to read everyone's posts.
BTW, I'm still seeking suggested questions to ask man-on-dog-Santorum in the "I get Letters" thread. I intend on attending, access should not be a problem for me.
I think this is the link that cuts the deepest
I don't know if this is the father of Eberle of GOPUSA but there is a connection here because his wife works for
The Eberle Communications Group, Inc
which is connected to John Ashcroft and Tom Delay
more info at:
http://www.sourcewatch.org/index...ns_Group%

Another question: if by all this investigation the left is guilty of "gay bashing," doesn't that imply that during the Clinton investigation the right was guilty of "straight bashing?"
* "Bruce Eberle runs Eberle Communications Group, Inc., which is involved in tom delay's fundraising scandal. ECG, Inc. also owns Fund Raising Strategies, Inc. and seems to prefer the name Eberle & Associates. part of the business is PR, part is fund raising. ... Eberle also owns Omega List Company and Eberle and Omega were busted for illegally giving data lists to Ashcroft when he was a senator. while you're at the omega site, be sure to check out Blanquita Cullum's prattling. this 'email endorsement' stuff sounds kinda fishy and propagandistic to me."

Earle must know about the connection already, then.
Damn, I wish we could pull the one thread that one unravel the whole thing - I'd do almost anything to bring down Tom Delay.
I think that Mr. Gannuckert is going to become the Kevin Bacon of Washington....we'll find out that every man, woman & child in DC has, within 6 degrees of separation, boinked Mr. Gannuckert.
Sorry about that "pull one thread that would unravel the whole thing..."
My good friend [coughdealercough] came by and I am celebrating Atrios' birthday a little early.
I think Holden's right.
Google that list of folks Bobby Eberle thanks in his Christmas letter that I linked above: Bruce Eberle, Mike Hiban, Don Stewart, Paul Teller, Tim Goeglein, Stuart Richens, Matt Smith, Jen Ohman, Bob Johnson, Liz Sheld, Julie Cram, Phillip Stutts, Chuck Muth, Grover Norquist, Karl Rove, and G. Gordon Liddy.
Bruce E. -- big direct mail player in the GOP
Mike Hiban -- Bobby's link to Bruce through MillionOfAmericans.com
Tim Goeglein -- Assistant to the President, Public Liason
Liz Shed -- relationship with Parent's Television Council
Julie Cram (ugh, what a name) -- Deputy Press Director, Bush/Cheney '04
Phillip Stutts -- Campaign Director for Republican gubenatorial candidate Bobby Jhindal
Chuck Muth -- Republican campaign consultant
AND Rove, Norquist and Liddy
Now, GOPUSA could be just trying to prop up their standing in the conservo-community, but then again, they had enough muscle to get their guy into the briefing.
25 to 1500.
bush is a shit.
"I'd do almost anything to bring down Tom Delay."
I'd do about anything to bring down George W. Bush
J - Now, GOPUSA could be just trying to prop up their standing in the conservo-community, but then again
with Eberle's creds with the Repug party in Texas - they weren't trying to prop up their reputation - they already had big time reputations.
This just gets curiouser and curiouser.
Delay needs to fall.
Bush is evil.
Delay is an evil as yet uncomprehensible in this world.
susan - here's the deal - it will be a hell of a lot easier to bring down Bush if Delay is out of the way.
The DC chapter of the Free Republic is doing a demonstration in support of Gannon in a few minutes. Other freeperati are begging the chapter leader to call it off, but it seems she is already on the way to the destination. If anyone in the area can get a snapshot of of someone carrying a 'Free Republic supports Gannon' sign, it would be priceless! Here's the details:
DEMONSTRATION IN SUPPORT OF JEFF GANNON
&
THE FIRST AMENDMENT
WHEN: FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 2005, 6 P.M. TO 8 P.M.
WHERE: THE SIDEWALK BY MONICA’S GATE,
AKA THE NORTHWEST VISITORS ENTRANCE
THE WHITE HOUSE, 1600 PENNSYLVANIA AVE., NW, WASHINGTON, D.C.
(Washington) The D.C. Chapter of Free Republic, an independent grassroots organization, will be holding a demonstration at the White House this evening in support of former Talon News White House Correspondent Jeff Gannon and the rights of other reporters to do their jobs without fear of being destroyed by the political establishment.
Why do i get the feeling that JimJeff is the social coordinator of the D.C. Chapter of FreeRepublic?

No shit, Sherlock...
Tena,
I thought it was funny...
Damn. I'll have to go back to the humor mines now.
this is weird... the Houston Chronicle story on Bobby Eberle reported that he says he witnessed the Americam Airlines plane hit the Pentagon on 9/11.... no doubt another whopper.
"susan - here's the deal - it will be a hell of a lot easier to bring down Bush if Delay is out of the way."
Since we aren't getting into specifics, it's hard to deconstruct this pov. (Plus, you may well be right.) However, I think that Bush is so well insultated that he stands with or without Delay. And, if Delay goes, TX will just elect his clone. Maybe not as powerful at first but in time... The state is brimming with Delay wannabes and people eager to finance their elections as well as vote for them.
Ollie North, hahaha, I was right- as watch with a compass on it- go North ypoung man.
Okay- google image time. The FLA vote recount mini-riot...
In the meantime, Eberles also paid Paula Jones cash to fund her efforts.
Eberles also had ties to a fraud front that took donors for a ride involing searching for MIAs.
John Eberle has a scholarship at the Embry-Riddle flight school which trained the Al Qaida cells, was source of the Phoenix memo, and was where Moussaoui-Wellstone incidence occurred.
Tena - I read your post to me over and over thinking you were being witty and trying to figure it out !
I think just a few threds will do it
we are getting closer and closer
a gay prostitute ring run by Rove out of the WH perhaps ?
Anyway this story is tied to the high ups
there is NO WAY a gay prostitute with a fake name could get in to the WH, let alone publicly interogate the president if not for some high up permission
CBS is saying it Rove
Mr.Murder
are those facts or are you just speculating?
"Lodge to get on its feet. Mount Moriah Lodge No. 400 is a UD Lodge Chartered May 30, 2000, and set to work on June 16, 2000, by M.W. Louis A. King, 32°, Grand Master, Grand Lodge of Florida. The election gave the Lodge an opportunity to begin the task of building.
The Adopt-A-Precinct Program initiated by Mr. Bill Cowles, Supervisor of Elections in Orange County, Florida, reaches out to organizations and asks them to adopt precincts by furnishing volunteers to make up the precinct election boards. The Brethren of Mount Moriah Lodge contacted him and offered to join the program. They were assigned a precinct for the Primary, Runoff, and General Elections. With eight of the members and two supportive Brothers (Honorary Members R.W. Virgil D. Albright, 33°, PDDGM, and Bro. James A. Avera, 32°), they fulfilled the civic duty of manning a precinct as well as furnishing a Clerk at Large to the Supervisor of Elections Office. In return, the Lodge received a check for services rendered. Pictured on the facing page, Mr. Cowles presents the check to R.W. Albright and Brethren
from Mount Moriah Lodge"
No conspiracy here...
they are facts, google it up or check the dKos diaries I have
jesus...
you guys are FUCKING insane....
tinhats and whackos....why not join up with the UFO crowd?
okay remember the riot at the FLA courthouse? Let's see if we get any Guckert photos from that incident, because John Stone was a big part of the effort to quell recounts...
"The documents show that the Bush organization put on the payroll about 250 staffers, spent about $1.2 million to fly operatives to Florida and elsewhere, and paid for hotel bills adding up to about $1 million. To add flexibility to the travel arrangements, a fleet of corporate jets was assembled, including planes owned by Enron Corp., then run by Bush backer Kenneth Lay, and Halliburton Co., where Dick Cheney had served as chairman and chief executive officer"
"Ironically, the kind of documentary evidence that might have proved valuable in tying up the loose ends of the Chicago Seven conspiracy is present in the new filings that the Bush recount committee made to the IRS. The evidence is clear that the Bush committee organized the movement of protesters across state lines, paid for their lodging, moved them into a position for the riot, and then defended their actions.
After the incident, Bush personally thanked some of the participants at a celebration paid for by Bush’s organization. Since taking office, Bush has further rewarded some of the participants with high-level government jobs."
I'm willing to bet somewhere on those photo archives is our bulldog.
Two DeLay staffers were part of the brooks bros riots as well... linky above shows it.
Hey germ- FU
Scott McClellan, White House press Secretary, his dad wrote a book saying LBJ killed Kennedy.
Your own repiglans spin the tin-foil stuff to cover their tracks.
Nothing I can see of Gickert from the photos, one beefed buzzcut but it isn't him.
Was just a hunch there.

Tom Pyle, policy analyst, office of House Majority Whip Tom DeLay (R-Tex.).
That's the one I thought might have been Guckert- too fat though.
Was getting warm but the lead didn't get there...
Anways it goes back to DeLay, bribing people on Congress for votes and sending staffers to do dirty work.
And Guckert has DeLay ties via GOPUSA.
Can anyone email me a timeline of JG's supposed career? I'm trying to figure out how we went from being a painter/gay whore to WH correspondent.
As an aside, I work for a very large accounting/consulting firm that has access to all kinds of investigative & background checking tools.
The more info you can give me the better.

The scandal-plagued Bush administration.
Gannon isn't afraid to go undercovers to probe for what he wants.
Dear Atrios,
Happy birthday, Duncan.
It seems Mr. Guckert was also a guest at WH Christmas parties.
The issue of Guckert's sexuality is less the issue than how this hustler got into the White House.
Duncan, while browsing around I have gotten the distinct sense that Bush is so wrapped up in religion that he can be played by sharp operators. Someone that Chimpy senses is a likable, converted from sin and evil, True BelieverTM, can get way inside this administration if he is willing to "go along" with the administration line, and be a sycophant.
We know that Karl Rove just scares the bejeebers out of the mainstream media, but the issue is not going away, and if the administration gets too pushy, then more people look around to see "what all the fuss is about."
I think your posting about Free Republic types being in a Catch-22 is indiciative of just how weird and dangerous this issue really is for the administration. You saw some of the replies, the FReepers are well aware of the mess Guckert has caused.
Duncan, Guckert/Gannon exposes AGAIN, just how incompetant this administration is in terms of vetting just who gets to be around Bush, and to me, just how perverse many of the administration underlings really are....which leads to wondering why Bush would tolerate this UNLESS there is/was a religious "forgiveness, i.e. "once he was a stout sinner and Sodomite, but now he is 'God's'[Bush's?] great servant!" factor involved.
Truly, how much more does this Bush think he can get away with?
I seem to recall Okrent and Getler furiously denying that pool reporters -- at least for their own papers -- did NOT submit their questions prior to Bush's news conferences. Both conspicuously omitted to mention that EVerybody on hand at those events knew the game of softball-by-shill, reward-the-poodle, and freeze-out-the-journalist.
And they said nothing.
And when good men say nothing, well, that's all it takes . . .
Happy Birthday, Atrios.
re: Santorum questions about man on dog...
can you ask him if he meant to say man on Bulldog?
Was his comment a reference to Guckert's escort service? (and, ala "Gannon's" question style) "Isn't this evidence that you were wrong, since Guckert said he was a top? Wouldn't that really be Bulldog on man? Or Bulldog as mandate?
And, is Bush's Rover nickname, Turd Blossom, a reference to Rove's, uh, White House access?
but seriously, I do get all tingly when people start to mention Guckert and Hannity and the Mapes "hot tip." When did he know, and how did he know it?
It is time to go to the next level of this and investigate GOPUSA !!!!!
How did he get hired to work for them ?
That question will unravel the whole thing.
