Let me get this straight--Guckert is on Cooper, who is interviewing Gannon, who is Jim, not Jeff. Gannon, nee Guckert, worked for Talon, which is how he got day passes, except he got them before Talon existed, before he lobbed softballs to Bush. Not Jeff may not be circumspect, but he is circumcised...and the band played on.
Guckert will out Cooper as a client, and then lie about an affair he had with Charlie Gibson (to get one more MSM scalp on the way out!)

Fairbrother is the bigger one (I looked this up) and Eberle is the rather gay looking one. Anyway - very good and close friends and you'll see that Fairbrother's other pages show him quite acquainted with Texas repugs.
If we can save fairbrother's info we can probably back door to GOPUSA.

Former Talon News reporter James Guckert obtained his first White House press credentials as a representative of the pro-Republican Web site, GOPUSA, not as a Talon News reporter, as previously believed, Press Secretary Scott McClellan told E&P today.
McClellan said White House Press Office staffers considered the openly partisan site to be a legitimate news organization when they gave Guckert, a.k.a. Jeff Gannon, the first of numerous day passes in February 2003.
"He faxed a letter in on his [GOPUSA] letterhead, they checked that it was a conservative news Web site he worked for," McClellan explained, referring to his staffers who handled such credentialing at the time. "There was a check to make sure it was a news organization and a news Web site. There was a determination made at that point [that it was legitimate]."
McClellan, who was deputy press secretary under Ari Fleischer when the initial Guckert approvals were given, became press secretary in July 2003. He said he currently has a staff of 12, only one of whom handles the 20 to 25 daily press passes issued each day. He said he had spoken with the staffer who approved Guckert's initial credential, but would not identify the person or comment on how he or she could consider GOPUSA -- which is run by Texas Republican activist Bobby Eberle -- to be a legitimate news organization.
"Our staff assistants do a good job," he said. "The staff assistant went to verify that the news organization existed."
However, Eberle has told The New York Times that he later created Talon to build a news service with a conservative slant and "if someone were to see 'GOPUSA,' there's an instant built-in bias there."
Talon News, for whom Guckert later obtained daily credentials, did not launch until April 2003. Speculation has arisen in recent days that Guckert had somehow obtained access to White House briefings before Talon News officially launched, after videos and transcripts of his presence at briefings as early as February 2003 were revealed.
White House credential rules state that reporters may only obtain credentials if they represent a news organization that "regularly publishes" -- which would have eliminated Talon News in February 2003, as it did not exist then...

Looks like Fleisher claims the same:
Fleischer said he did not know much about Guckert and could not recall exactly when he started covering press briefings. He said he played no part in approving Guckert's requests for daily press credentials (which were handled by his office) and could offer no further comment on that.
Which suggests two scenarios: 1) They're both trying to pin it all on a "low-level staffer", or 2) The system was deliberately set up that way to allow the White House to insert whoever they wanted and let the Press Secretary keep "plausible deniability"...

If there really is anything to this, that is, if there really is a "patron," they really do have to be scared shitless -- Guckannon (still makes me want to say Turducken) can't say three things without two of them contradicting each other. Even with the full week they've had now to lock him in a closet with a couple of Rove's top handlers and one of Dubya's used debate earpieces they couldn't stop him from stepping on his tongue.
The fact that they're letting him back on the air at all, even on a designed-to-be-friendly environment like Anderson Cooper (I wonder why not something even more friendly like Hannity and Whatsisname? Too obvious?) makes me suspect that they don't think that he can do too much damage just talking.
Either that or their hubris, their sense of invincibility, may have finally gotten away from them ...

Study: Many at NASA still afraid to speak out
May 15 set as launch date for shuttle mission
Associated Press
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — NASA is making strong progress in changing its safety culture after the breakdown that led to the Columbia tragedy, but many workers are still afraid to speak their minds, according to survey results released today.
Among the comments indicating the safety culture has worsened:
— "Fear of reprisal still strong if you challenge center management."
— "I have seen the managers who have create dour current cultural problems 'dig their heels in' in order to do everything within their power to keep things from changing."
Some workers also expressed concern over NASA's new goal of reaching the moon and Mars, and the turmoil and stress caused by the competition for jobs among the various space agency centers.

Why hasn't anyone who has had the opportunity to interview Jimmy Jeff stated the obvious fact that when someone puts nekkid pictures of himself on the INTERNETS, he is giving up his right to "privacy." Putting pictures of yourself and your johnson on the internet where you can be googled by your real name is not exactly a good idea if you cherish your "privacy."
The Rovians are framing this as a "Poor Jimmy Jeff, Look at What Those Evil Liberal Bloggers Did to Him."
He was NOT a journalist.
He was NOT working for a media outlet in February 2003.
He is a prostitute and had access to the White House.

Mnica A - Jimmy/Jeff can be turned! His friends are going to desert him and he have nowhere to go.

A poster over at Americablog (jakester) caught this:
Lie alert (from McClellan article linked to above):
"I remember when Ari and I talked about it, we were concerned who he represented and checked with staff who said he represented a conservative news Web site named GOPUSA," McClellan said. "We were concerned because he was a new face in the White House. I think we did ask questions about it and Ari talked to the editor."

Oh NOW you remember, huh Scottie? And yet you said you had NO IDEA that he was using a fake name in the press conferences, even though Guckert has said before that he used his real name to get the pass!

You can see it already in the troll talking points over the last couple of days.

Find a man who's honest!
Oh, Diogenes!

Hook that fish if he's in the sea
Hunt him! Trail him!
Catch him! Nail him!

When Anderson asked Gannon/Guckert about the allegations against him his only defense was that he was being held accountable for his past indiscretions. Was he talking about his illeagal activities or the fact that he's gay? (Did he find Jesus and become straight? Which is the way the Rapture Right might take it.) Anyway, was he admitting to being gay or to being a prostitute? I'm confused.

What Rove has and hasn't done is pure speculation, but one plausible scenario would be that Guckgannon's statement that he wouldn't talk to the press anymore was Rove's idea, but today's CNN interview wasn't.
Why Guckgannon didn't insist on Leslie Blitzer is beyond me. It's apparent from everyone's comments that Cooper did a much better job than Blitzer (of course, the bar wasn't very high, BUT THAT'S THE POINT).

Huey, why don't you understand that The Epoch-Making Gannon Scandal is PROOF that the White House and the conservatives DON'T control Big Media?
Rove had to contract Gannon through his friend at Talon to provide some softballs in the press room BECAUSE they can't get away from the constant negative questions from the big networks' reporters.

While I don't feel sorry for JimmyJeff, he really isn't the point anyway. He's just another tool.
Here's what he needs to be asked: "How did you first end up writing for GOPUSA, you were painting trucks and running websites and hustling, and you went from that to covering the White House. That's quite a career leap." No way a guy this dumb can handle that one, he's not a good liar.
The way to unravel where this leads is by finding out who made him a "journalist" in the first place, and when and how he met that person.

No. I think he was getting some White House inside info, and now that is dangerous to the White House. The Plame angle has legs, so really tonight was all about pushing that back to the WSJ. Gannon was probabally told to push the story AFTER it came out in the WSJ, but in his interviews he failed to aknowledge the WSJ had the info first. He probabally got the info from his inside contact...the same person who leaked to the WSJ. And so the Gannon trail will most likely lead back to the Plame Affair...which is a main black spot on this administration.

Actually, that reminds me of an idea I had, but which would require far more commitment than I have (someone may actually be doing this already, but my memory is fuzzy): Take a picture of yourself in the same pose, with the same expression and composition, every day for the rest of your life. That would eventually become a really fascinating time-lapse study of the aging process. Plus I think the hair tides would look pretty cool, too.

enjoy mortality, your learn curve just shortened.
You have more to fear from freeps Guck. You make them look as stupid as they are. Rove could let one of them get you and blame it on a librul.

What right does the White House have to decide who gets to be a reporter based on private lives?""
Geez, does that mean the White House is going to give up its crusade against gay marriage and rights? Fleischer think Merkuns should have the right to privacy?

Jeff Gannon is about to become the biggest scandal in White House History. Why?
It is about the compromise of the WH and endangering national security.
All one needs to do is pursue who was responsible for failure to properly background check this Guckert into the WH Press room. Gannon/Guckert stood ten feet from the President! What if Talon's star WH reporter was John Hinkley or Squeeky Frome? (From what I gather about Talon staff, either one would have qualified for reporter status.)
Here is the first nail in the coffin. Who in the WH/GOP re-election arm had the power to make those responsible for WH security not conduct a background check? This is a huge security scandal. A compromise 10 feet from the President.
Even larger. It is apparent that JG had access to highly classified information or insider documents that he termed "exclusive" stories. Track each of these exclusives and you will realize that someone in the WH was handing out or leaking highly classified "need to know" information to this gay "no need to know" call boy turned reporter.
Now imagine this. The Russians, Chinese, or any other espionage agencies find out "first" that Jerry Jeff Gannon Jogurt is a gay call boy. Then they find out who he is "running" with in the WH/GOP power circles and who is handing JG all that highly classified information. Or better, they find out that JG is more than just a news reporter to a WH/GOP insider.
Suddenly you have the largest compromise of national security in history. Blackmail is a wonderful spy tool. This is how John Walker spy rings come to pass.
Whoever got Jeff Gannon into the WH past basic security protocol endangered the President and national security. Press relentlessly on the Jeff Gannon hunt and you'll get to the endzone.
Mainstream media will finally have to get his Jerry Jeff Gannon Jogurt's name right. He'll be the lead story for the next four years.

if you're going to talk the talk, you better walk the walk. isn't that one of those christian aphorisms?
if you claim to be a reporter, why are you suprised when you get called on your lack of credentials?
if you claim to be fair and balanced, how can you get upset when people actually question those claims?
it's time to hold the republicans' feet to the fire, and insist that they back up any future allegations of, say, WMD in Iran, with actual evidence, not talking points manufactured by karl rove and the rest of the american taleban.

why oh why does this sound like: "people should watch what they say."
Let's assume that Ari has a file on all the deviant stuff that Wolf, Cooper, Brown partake thereof. This guy is a fucking creep who probably blackmails all the reporters. It 's that fucking obvious.

But, no. That's been squandered.
