Gannon is making the rounds...

[ClassicDem]

He is coming up on Larry Elder's radio show.

[EFerrari]

1. Wow. Wonder who set that up. Pretty good for a small time con. nt

[Stirk]

2. Elder is a shamless hack.

I'd really be surprised if he isn't on the Bush payroll. I'm sure he'll give Guckert a nice little damage control piece, like Wolf Blitzer.

[LSparkle]

4. Did Wolfie have him on too?

They're ALL on the WH payroll!

[babylonsister]

9. Yep, he was on Wolfie at 5CT (more like 5:53). nt

[LSparkle]

3. Oh geez, it figures "the Sage" would have this guy on

He is SOOOO lame! I'm sure in his opinion there will be some reason to blame Bill Clinton for Gannongate ...

[Arkana]

7. Oh yeah, I can hear it now:

"If the previous administration hadn't loosened the country's morals and tempted me to give into my animal desires, then this never would have happened. WAAAAHHHHH!!!"

What's frightening is that we may hear something EXACTLY like this.

[tom_paine]

5. As a Petty Party Unofficial Official, Gannon has all the resources of the

Empire to call upon...it's propaganda machine, it's law enforcement infrastructure...everything.

He will be invited with deference to all the State Infoganda Stations.

[AlCzervik]

6. Hey is Larry Elder the guy that keeps emailing about his tv show?

i keep trying to bounce his emails back to him. Damn you comcast!

[SoCalDem]

8. He's had a few hours now to be "counselled" by the ones in the know

and has had time to memorize the talking points..

It always amazes me when these losers get caught.. It;s always someone else's fault and they are always the victims of a nefarious plot :)

[diamond14]

16. nice photo...is it photoshopped? is that gannon?

:hi:

[SoCalDem]

18. Not photoshop..but I added the "e"...

I am a dunce and had to do the best I could with Print Shop :)

Thanks.. yes.. it is our boy Jeffie with a freeper :)

[sonicx]

10. Elder always talks about "personal responsibility"

So...how much you wanna bet he'll blame someone else?

[SlavesandBulldozers]

11. who's Gannon?

and who the eff is Larry Elder? Do all of these people make up names? Damn.

[blueheeler]

12. CNN transcript

I just read the CNN transcript and he whines about his family and when asked about his family, he says his mother and brother were being harrased. What happened to wife and kids?

http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0502/10/wbr.01.html

[shraby]

13. How could his mother and brother

have been harassed? They just yesterday or the day before found out who he is.

[LynneSin]

22. I saw that about his family!!!

Geez I was thinking about his poor wife and kids and it turns out there are no wife and kids.

I think David Brock and Jeff Gannon need a one on one. Davide is a former closeted homosexual neo-con hack who was 'Blinded by the Light'. He can help Jeff Gannon see the light

[blueheeler]

14. This is crap

This Sage dude is asking question and making him seem just like any reporter being hassled. :mad:

[Nothing Without Hope]

15. It's being set up to be Swift Boat Liars II. We need to respond!

Lie and lie and never be called on it. Any embarrassing truths are carefully avoided. Make it look like he's a poor victim being attacked by the mean "liberal blogs" as Howie Kurtz spun it with Wolf Blitzer yesterday.

Absolutely amazing. We need to be writing HUGE NUMBERS OF LTTEs. We cannot let them get away with this again.

[diamond14]

17. hope gannon keeps on BLABBERING his big mouth...it's real stupid.....

[funkhowser]

20. The issue of the daily press pass

I haven't seen this come up yet ...

Come on, Drudge is more of a "journalist" than Gannon/Guckert ... don't you think if Drudge had access to a daily press pass, we wouldn't be seeing his mug there everyday possible?

Come on Gannon/Guckert, keep flapping that mouth ... useful idiot!

[MADem]

21. Well, the weecowboy claimed he had a MANDATE

...and lo and behold, there he is in his undies!

[caligirl]

19. Looks like one of our guys(Americablog) will be on Aaron Brown tonight?

So much Gannon news. Figured I'd give you a brief breather.

My appearance on CNN will now be at a few minutes after 10pm EST, on Aaron Brown's show. I'm still trying to narrow down the talking points - you really only want two, maybe three, points max that you're trying to get across. Suggestions for the top two points I should get across?

Atrios catches GannonGuckert a bit factually-challenged
by John in DC - 2/10/2005 07:08:53 PM

From Atrios:

Truly Devout

Today on Blitzer's pathetic interview, whiny JD Guckert claimed that people (bad evil liberals) had followed him to church.

Anything's possible, I suppose, but his real name was first revealed to the world Monday night at 11:54pm, after the week's prime churchgoing day was long over.

And, Guckert himself declared:

I'm a two-holiday Christian and I usually vote Republican because they most often support conservative positions.

Now, we could imagine that he's Catholic and one of those two holidays is Ash Wednesday, but Ash Wednesday happened after he announced that he quit, so, it's hard to imagine that people following him to church after he quit was the reason he quit...

And, to NPR he claimed:

FOLKENFLIK: It's hard to check what Gannon's real interests might be because he doesn't write under his real name. Monday, before his resignation, when Gannon spoke to NPR he said his family had been harassed ever since that press conference.

"That press conference" refers to the Bush conference from a couple weeks ago. Since, as he told Wolf, when he says "family" he means mother, brother, and sister-in-law, one wonders how all these evil people found them when, you know, NOBODY KNEW HIS REAL NAME.

Gosh journalisming is shur hard.

23. I don't suppose a ONE of them was able to ask a few basic questions

Like

What's your real name?

How old are you?

What college degrees do you have if any?

What newpapers have you written for?

What name did you give the white house to get your press pass?

Who do you know that helped you get your press pass?

Have you ever published ANYTHING on paper?

Who pays your salary?

How long did you work for "Talon News"? How long has Talon News existed? Who did you work for before that?

Are you married?


This took me two minutes. I bet we have hours of blah blah blah on TV and not a damn answer.
