The Return of Jeff Gannon!

[kweerwolf]

Chris Crain, the editor of The Washington Blade and chief editorial boss of Window Media's other gay papers, says his Op-Ed page is simply offering fresh and challenging opinion when it decides to publish occasional columns by Jeff Gannon.

"The job of any good opinion section is to challenge readers, not just preach to the choir," Crain wrote in a late September column.

But many readers, it appears, felt not simply challenged, but outraged at the appearance of Gannon's columns. Crain now says there is a "steady stream of 'feedback/vitriol' ... with each column, though a little less each time he is published." Gannon tells E&P, "The public reaction to my columns has been predictably negative and shrill."

Gannon became famous earlier this year when -- after he asked President George W. Bush a Republican-slanted question at a press conference -- reporters discovered he had been credentialed despite using an alias, and working for an organization, Talon News, that appeared more dedicated to supporting Bush than gathering news.

1. Man this is just what Karl wants to see to help him out.

Just when you think it can't get any better - it does.

2. ...such perfect timing!

3. Gannon is a phony, a fraud and a consumate liar

A journalist's credibility is his only stock in trade. This equates to hiring a lawyer from an Arabian horse association to run a federal emergency managment agency!

4. A phony, a fraud and a consumate liar ...

... that's why he and this Admin have such a cozy relationship -- HE FITS RIGHT IN!

5. Hey, Hannity, why don't you interview Jeff Gannon?

The only man who competes as top butt kisser of the right wing with Sean Hannity, only Jeff does it more honestly, if less passionately.

7. I've heard Jimmy/Jeff the Bulldog

is quite "passionate!" heheeee Matter of fact, he advertised just how "passionate" a puppy he is online. All I could say was : ewwwuuuuuuuu!

Poor thang; all that attention, and now no attention?! waaaahh

6. Nothing like a rightwing self-hating gay man

Gannon is the white gay version of a Clarence Thomas.

8. I don't care if they publish him.

Honestly, I don't care. If folks want to read what Bulldog has to say, let 'em read it. He's a small fish in a big sea filled with sharks and isn't worth the time and energy spent to do battle with him.

At the end of the day he isn't going to change anyone's mind, he is only speaking to other gay conservatives. Anyone else could careless what he thinks or has to say on an issue. But it's a free country. If he has something to say, let him run his mouth. Doesn't mean we have to listen, and in the end by reacting to him we only bring him more attention - something he craves.

9. He's like Rasputin! Or a Vampire!

You think he's gone, and he's right back up, gnawing on your neck, bugging the living s**t out of you! What does it take--a metal drum full of Raid? Depleted Plutonium? A lead container sealed, encased in concrete then blasted out into space?
