2. it means that once again, we're focusing on the whore aspect of the story
and not the Traitor aspect of the story.

4. Traitors can be whores too
It's just a matter of changing the name on the invoice.

sure, but I would hope that outing a CIA agent takes priority over
dick pics.

3. Somebody photoshop some glasses on him
with light metal rims.
I'd really like to compare it something.
Thanks.

7. It's already starting
Hot male-on--male action trumps the fact a planted agent was blocking the press from asking probing questions of the White house for the past two years?

He leaked top secret information to purposefully destroy an American intelligence operation to track illegal nuclear arms sales, but now all the media is going to focus on is he has pictures with his willie hanging out.

We are pathetic...

Edited on Mon Feb-14-05 02:07 PM by berner59

15. Hot male on male action almost assures media coverage, though.
If there's no sex, there's no story, right?

10. it might mean he's a fall guy
this is standard set-up stuff, find a patsy with a shady past and use him. Can you say Lee Oswald? The story is bigger than a few porn sites but if you focus on the porn sites the real story will get lost. It's intentional, this guy was chosen.

17. Good comments...I totally agree...
a gay hooker with a verifiable, electronic trail--is involved with the White House for very-specific reasons. He knows a great deal about some critical scandals.

He did some dirty work for the White House. .

The White House knew damn well who he was--and also about his sexcapades.

The White House will be distancing themselves from all of this--big time. They'll feign bewilderment and they'll publicly initiate new and improved press-security policies to appear truly concerned about all of this.

Gannon will be dropped like a hot rock. Maybe the realization that he's been used like a two-bit-whore and sacrificed at the altar of Rove--will spark a personal epiphany, and then he'll tell us what he knows.

I worry that he might experience involuntary suicide.

13. *This* is *NOT* the story! This is bullshit!!
Unless they can prove Bush was a "client" this is going to kill the story.

14. Male hooker with no press credentials
..allowed into white house press corps??
While it's not THE story, it's definitly *A* story?

And isn't prostitution illegal? even for gay males who service "active duty senior officers in the US Army" ??

16. In the short term, this is good...
Edited on Mon Feb-14-05 02:48 PM by TwoSparkles
...because it keeps the attention focused on "Gannon". It may spark a spine-sporting reporter to dig deeper and to focus on Plame, and the deeper White House angles.

However, it could be just a spark that will eventually die down--leaving the core issues (Plame, the White House knew, etc) buried.

If sex and nekkid stuff is what sparks the fire--then so be it. Let's just hope that these sparks grow into a fire where the real issues are burning.

We need just one reporter to care about the true story.

18. Anybody read "Bush's Brain"?
Karl Rove's forte is manipulation of the press and of public relations. You can bet he's covered his tracks well on this one, but if there were such a reporter (with a spine) there is a slim chance they could follow the money to where it will probably lead -- somewhere within the bowels of the WH.

19. That will surely happen...and soon.
The reporter may be a blogger but who cares. This is the most contemptuous thing that the WH could have done domestically. It's just amazing. They think that they are the "master minds" and that the country is filled with suckers. Well, this type of thing doesn't play well with the middle of the country. A poll on who people want to run for President in 2008 showed only 29% favorable and 59% unfavorable for Arnold. Want to know why? Because the non-California part of the country really objects to guys who play grab ass with women, take steroids and smoke pot, and dress up nearly naked with oil all over them. That's why Arnie is a non starter and that's why any connection of male hookers with the WH is so totally devastating.
