I'm so sick of the VRWC complaining about the takedown of Gannon/Guckert
First of all, there was obviously more to his appearances in the WH press room than "he followed protocol and diligently requested a day pass each time." If any other unknown, fledgling reporter (a blogger from our side, say) got in there on a day pass, would he EVER be called on? Of course not, he would sit in the back and shut the hell up. There was something else going on besides the official story.

As far as digging into his personal life.... well, that has been the standard modus operandi of the right for some time. The cries of "foul!" are pathetic.

Who is Guckert really? Do we know have proof that he ran a gay/military escort service? No. However, if he really was a proper Christian family man, why did he chose to have a picture in himself wearing just skivvies and a smile on his AOL homepage? A picture in a jacket & tie, family in tow, in front a church would say something very different about his character.

About Plame.... let's not even go there!

:puke:

2. In his Wolf Shitzer interview
He talked about threats to his family. When Wolf asked, what do you mean by family? My brother and mother.

He didn't ask about the picture on his homepage in his boxers.

5. You didn't miss anything.
I didn't hear anything regarding the Gannon story mentioned once.
