Is Gannon dropping hints?
From "Gannonblog" @ http://www.jeffgannon.com/

<<SNIP>>

February 24, 2005

2:37pm

RAWSTORY reports that Senate Minority Leader Harry 'Soup Lines" Reid will join in the investigation of me. He should be thanking me since I helped get him his promotion. Democratic Leader Reid joins for call for inquiry into Gannon affair

.....
<</SNIP>>

And here's something from today:

<<SNIP>>


<<SNIP>>
4:17AM


I watched a clip of Sen. Joe Biden on Bill Maher's HBO crapfest. I wonder why he didn't mention meeting me some years ago. C'mon Joe, think...


<</SNIP>>

What is he trying to achieve by these comments? Is he a just a moron, who is trying to get fame from the scandal, or is there more?

1. The Reid comment means that Gannon helped oust Daschle.
No idea on the other one.

10. He's trying to insinuate that he's gay with the second one NT.

2. He's letting them know he knows where the bodies are buried.
He is doing this to keep from being Wellstoned.

I don't think it will work. He fucked the President, and Bush will kill him for getting caught.

3. The Biden comment totally aligns with the "bodies are buried" angle.

9. Even after Biden's appearance on Maher's show and all of
his negative comments about Gannon, didn't he fail to sign the letter calling for an investigation? Do you think he got a call reminding him of the meeting after his appearance? :shrug:

4. He's implying . . .
. . . he has dirt on a lot of folks . . .

Is this another Hunter S. Thompson in the making?

12. HST could write, spell and think cogently
...despite a regular diet of booze, drugs, and notwithstanding his chemical imbalance.

This JimmyJeff guy is an old, wash-up whore who has plumbed the depths, as it were, of a few powerful GOP politicos. This is more like an old callgirl shopping her memoirs...he doesn't even rise to the Judith Exner standard--at least she was a bit picky!

He's a little gossip who has lost his outlet--he used to enjoy dropping crumbs from the cookies he got from his powerful customers, and now that he no longer has a cookie supplier, he's going to have to start telling tales about the keepers of the treats to get the validation that he desperately craves.

He's too fucking stupid to see the danger, though. If I were him, I'd have already completed the detailled video depositions, and have stashed a dozen copies in secure locations, including the safes of several lawyers, at least one overseas.

5. Of course, he thinks he's being cute.
The Reid comment is an oblique reference to the hack job he did on Daschle. He's proud of it.

I don't know what he's trying to suggest with the Biden comment. If Gannon has indeed met Biden before (and he may or may not have, who knows), either it's something totally random and innocuous and he's messing with Joe's mind, or there's a more embarrassing connection and he's hanging the possibility of airing some dirty laundry. Is he threatening Biden?

6. I watched a clip of Sen. Joe Biden on Bill Maher's HBO crapfest.
Hey Bill! Bill Maher! Jeff Gannon just called your show a crapfest! Feel like spending some "real time" on the subject now or will it just stay a silly joke with you?

7. Why do people give him the traffic?
Everybody, naturally, is free to read what they want. But why do people keep giving this loser's site hits? You're just perpetuating his existence in the public eye.

11. Because I don't want this story to fade away...
which includes viewing his site. I understanding with what you are saying, but my question is to survey members here to see if they think is just trying to get attention, or could there be more...

13. Giving him tens of thousands of robotic, useless hits a day...
Would soon cost him a LOT of money...

8. Mr. Gannon has a sense of self-importance

(Senator Reid) should be thanking me since I helped get him his promotion.

and not a very realistic one.

17. Just a Moron
Almost sounds as if he's inferring that he has something on (in?) Biden.

This guy is the biggest piece of crap since dinosaur enemas.

18. Interesting or not?

"March 6, 2005

JEFF GANNON one voice in the new media and center of a White House non-scandal that the left is exploiting for political gain joins the program for his FIRST LIVE & UNEDITED interview since his mistreatment and edited interviews on television: Every story has two sides - this one does too & KOGO will bring it to you LIVE"


hmmm...I wonder just who is presenting the other side? I agree this story needs to be kept alive and must be investigated! There is more to this than meets the eye..

19. Welcome to DU yorkdane
Gannon will be on live tonight at 9:00 pm
From his diary:


March 6, 2005

***MEDIA ADVISORY***

I will be a guest on the Steve Yuhas Show Sunday night, March 6 at 9:00pm EST. The segment will be LIVE - I'll be talking about Gannongate and the Hyper-Hysterical (and not in a funny way) Homosexual Hypocrites and their enablers in the Old Media who played the "gay card" to try to destroy me.

"I'm here, I'm conservative. Get used to it!"
