I nominate "Jeff Gannon" for #1 Conservative Idiot of the Week
Per the latest from dKos:

Jeff Gannon aka Jim Guckert, and gay smut
by kos
Tue Feb 8th, 2005 at 14:47:46 PST

Oh man, reality is truly stranger than fiction.

"Jeff Gannon", the White House press propagandist "correspondent" for the fake "Talon" news service, turns out to be using a nom de plume.

A group of dKos diarists have been peeling away the layers of Gannon's fake persona, summarized by World O'Crap. In one of those diaries, this revelation is made by Radically Bitter: Among the domains owned by Gannon/Guckert are these:
jeffgannon.com/
Hotmilitarystud.com
Militaryescorts.com
Militaryescortsm4m.com
-----------

Go read the rest of the post at dKos and :kick: if you agree that Jeff Gannon or Jim Gucker or whatever his name may be truly did live up to his promise to work harder to be the #1 Conservative Idiot of the Week. Jeff, I think you pulled it off!

1. Yes! But in light of his recent smarmy email to DU...
they should use his real name on the list. A nice slap in the face to the webmaster of Hotmilitarystud dot com.

Gay pantywaist shills for Bush!

9. Nah... He's too ineffective for #1.
He's basically a small fish in a large pond. The fact that he's lied about his credentials and been caught will serve to relegate him to the "where are they now?" file in a short amount of time.

He's more of a penis with ears than anything else, and he's been exposed for the piece of shit lying douchebag that he is. Basically, he's a non-issue that we've spent too much time validating. Any more discussion will cause his dick-shaped head to grow more.

12. I just wonder if the situation were reversed
and it was a Democractic administration who'd (probably) hand-picked a reporter who turned out to be a cheap internet escort on the side, do ya suppose the Republicans would just let it drop?

20. Well, with that email he sent do DU was his version of "Bring it On"q
And we did - his whole world is exploding in front of his eyes!

But I don't think Jeff Gannon should be nominated but his real name Jim Guckert

10. Let Him Remain Second
I nominated Jonah Goldberg for his "I love the war, but couldn't go myself because the money sucks and I have a little girl at home" statement. Juan Cole kicks his ass all around the room, but it's not enough for someone this foul.

Keep Gannon in second place, and keep piling up the links around any mention of his name. DailyKos and Atrios are overflowing with links that would embarrass the fool, were he capable of embarrassment.

14. But not for the gay smut, of couse...
I'm sure nobody wants to offend all the fans of gay smut here on DU. ;)

(I know it's just the irony that's funny as hell. I am just teasing.)

16. NO!
That is what he wants! Let him be number 10 or an "dishonorable" mention! Let that queen know he has lost his throne! If you are gay and conservative, so be it...you are an idiot! As a gay man, I can't describe the contempt I feel for these "brothers and sisters" who would sell us out for the almighty dollar. I have news for them, when the day ends, to the conservatives and neo-cons, you will still be a FAG or DYKE! They will smile to your face and plot your downfall. When we are treated as equals, then start your conservative movement, but don't do it before our rights are established!

17. I second that....
and up the ante -

this is a chance to make a BIG stink and attack not only this one "evildoer" but as SusanG says over at dailykos - the machine behind Talon News.

don't let this die.... let's make sure we scream for investigations!

Seems gypsies, tramps and theives are the only people who will accept positions at the White House these days.

The good news is: It is Karl Rogue Rove's first day at his new job. Ha ha ha ha ha ha aha haha ha ha ha!!
