Guess who just wrote me? Jeff Gannon.

[Goldmund]

I wrote Jeff Gannon about the JEFFGANNON.ORG website we're starting -- just letting him know we have it, and giving him a chance to comment or to suggest putting up some links to his side of the story. I just received a response. Here it is:

Goldmund:

I just checked out the site. Funny. Thanks for the link. With all the pictures that are said to be me out there don't you think billmon could have gotten me to appear anatomically correct?

Best of luck to you.

Jeff

To see what image he's talking about, go to www.jeffgannon.org.

I like his response, I think it's good-natured and funny.

[UdoKier]

1. What a POS.

He thinks he's being funny and coy.

Let him fall into obscurity.

[Goldmund]

3. Oh, come on

would you prefer it if he had responded "fuck you liberal assholes"?

[Crankie Avalon]

6. Yes, because THAT would have been hilarious...

...but as it is, he made the appropriate response. Maybe he's hoping you'll go easy on him if he shows a little humanity? ;-)

[Goldmund]

18. Doubt it -- he seems to love all the publicity,

no matter how negative.

But we won't go easy on him, so he needn't worry. Though, again, he is just a conduit here -- he's irrelevant, ultimately. He is just a nobody who took advantage of the chance to play ball with the big boys. It's that ballgame that we're interested in; if Gannongate can shed light on the ballgame, and it can, that's the extent of my interest in Gannon.

2. Very funny

:bounce:

[Kire]

4. Is that a reference to penis size?

what a guy

great Republican values

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

5. Yes, Mr. Backward...

That is a reference to the size of his Integral Vienna Sausage. ;-)

[Kire]

17. Why'd you call me Mr. Backward?

don't you know who I am?

[KoKo]

7. So, he's pleased he will get some more publicity. Now there will

be two sites devoted to his "ravings." Sheesh, I thought you were planning on an "Anti-Gannon Site." A parody of him...now you're inviting him to do a column! :eyes:

Who knows, maybe if you get friendly with him we can start a fund to pay him for all he knows? :D How much is it worth to Jimmy/Jeff to spill the beans?

[Goldmund]

9. I gave him a chance to comment, that's all

which is a fair thing to do if you're going to have a website centered around somebody's public persona.

But the site isn't going to be anti-Gannon. It's going to be anti-Bush.

And having a channel of communication with Gannon would, I think, be a worthy thing if we're going to analyze and investigate this affair.

[KoKo]

13. Why do you think he would need a channel of communication, though.

This guy has alot of people protecting him..and he's not going to tell you the truth about anything, but use you to promote himself and the people behind him. Is that the kind of website you hope will attract people?

I must have misread your original intent when you posted last week about setting up a website. You will just be a funnel for his ops to get a message out. But, if that's what you want to do...hey it's fine by me... Good luck with it...!!!

[Goldmund]

15. That is totally idiotic.

I'm not looking for him to tell me the truth about anything. You don't learn things about people only by taking their statements at face value.

He's not going to "use me" for anything.

Ah, why am I responding to this, it's just stupid.

[Carni]

24. I had a year long flame email (sort of) war with an head exec of faux news

For God's sakes don't give the sucker any of your personal info.

[Goldmund]

27. Thanks for the advice

I won't, don't worry.

[Carni]

28. It sounds dumb and paranoid

But when push comes to shove a person such as myself doesn't have a legal team.

Just keep it very close to the vest!

[KoKo]

8. BTW....be careful...he might be "chatting you up."

Unless he's your type you might want to be careful..

[progmom]

10. Yes, be careful.

You might accidentally go gay. :eyes:

[ronnykmarshall]

16. You have to have one of these:

Hypno Judy !!!

[Goldmund]

12. Careful of what?

[KoKo]

14. see post #13.....n/t

[Carni]

25. That you don't get under some GOP microscope

These characters are in power and they can twist a nothing thing into a huge ordeal--just be cool about any personal info.

None of my biz, but these jerks pull all kinds of crap on people.

Just be on your toes.

[Demit]

11. I hope he keeps putting more & more on the record. To hang himself.

He wants to be so coy about whether the pictures are of him or not...then he implies that they are by complaining, even good-naturedly, that they are not correct. This guy is so pathological about wanting things both ways--and I am not trying to make a pun--that he will eventually trip himself up.

But I don't understand the Michaelangelo painting gag...what's the artist trying to say there?

[Goldmund]

22. He's talking about the Michelangelo photoshop,

not those hooker ads.

[elperromagico]

19. Heh... why not put an image of a balloon animal over ol' Jeff's

"secret garden"?

[DS1]

20. Is that a fortune cookie I'm lookin at?

:evilgrin:

[Goldmund]

21. LMAO

[Career Prole]

23. Cashew!

(gesundheit!)

[HeyManThatsCool]

26. ROFLMAO

ok- he apparently does have a sense of humor.

Just not a brain

[Zuni]

29. don't let him fool you

Don't stay in contact with him. No matter how affable he may seem now, he will try to destroy you.

BTW---The graphic you picked is f-in hilarious! Good choice! :evilgrin:

[Goldmund]

30. If he were to destroy anyone,

methinks he has bigger fish to fry than me.
