Records: Writer at White House 196 Times

Mon Apr 25, 8:21 PM ET White House - AP

WASHINGTON - A conservative writer who quit his job covering President Bush amid criticism for his pointedly political questions visited the White House 196 times in two years, the Secret Service has disclosed.

James D. Guckert, who wrote under the name Jeff Gannon, was Washington bureau chief for Talon News, a conservative online news outlet associated with another Web site, GOPUSA. Guckert posed questions with conservative overtones, attracting scrutiny from liberal bloggers who linked Guckert with online domain addresses suggestive of gay pornography. Guckert resigned in February.

Democratic Reps. Louise Slaughter of New York and John Conyers of Michigan filed a freedom of information request and were given Secret Service records of Guckert's visits to the White House.

4. that's about twice a week

and considering all the time shrub's spent on vacation... it's gotta be pretty much all the time bush was in the whitehouse. that's assuming he went there more or less only when bush was there.

5. Suggestive of gay pornography?????

Suggestive suggests there could be another explanation. How about calling a hooker a hooker?

8. Here is another RAW story article about Gannon

My Gosh.....look at the end of this article and see all the visits documented!!

http://rawstory.com/exclusives/byrne/secret_service_gannon_424.htm

<snip>

Guckert made more than 200 appearances at the White House during his two-year tenure with the fledging conservative websites GOPUSA and Talon News, attending 155 of 196 White House press briefings. He had little to no previous journalism experience, previously worked as a male escort, and was refused a congressional press pass.

Perhaps more notable than the frequency of his attendance, however, is several distinct anomalies about his visits.

Guckert made more than two dozen excursions to the White House when there were no scheduled briefings. On many of these days, the Press Office held press gaggles aboard Air Force One—which raises questions about what Guckert was doing at the White House. On other days, the president held photo opportunities.

On at least fourteen occasions, Secret Service records show either the entry or exit time missing. Generally, the existing entry or exit times correlate with press conferences; on most of these days, the records show that Guckert checked in but was never processed out.

In March, 2003, Guckert left the White House twice on days he had never checked in with the Secret Service. Over the next 22 months, Guckert failed to check out with the Service on fourteen days. On several of these visits, Guckert either entered or exited by a different entry/exit point than his usual one. On one of these days, no briefing was held; on another, he checked in twice but failed to check out.

“I’d be worried if I was the White House and I knew that a reporter with a day pass never left,” one White House reporter told RAW STORY. “I’d wonder, where is he hiding? It seems like a security risk.”

10. Where are all the talking gas bags who were having

conniptions over Sandy Berger for taking a copy of a piece of paper from the National Archives. Treason they screamed on Faux for a solid month. Unaccounted for visits to the White House however by a phony journo with fake credentials is not a problem worth mentioning it appears. Hey Faux, your hyppocracy is showing!

9. "suggestive of gay pornography" = coverup...try Gannon is a male escort

who also pimps the services of others at his website. He claimed to be a marine which was discovered to be a lie.
