Attention DC Area Bloggers!
Edited on Thu Feb-10-05 03:24 PM by tasteblind
According to Howard Kurtz:

"He (Jeff Gannon) just gets cleared into the White House on a day-to-day basis, which is a privilege that is pretty much open to any journalist."

I am interested in putting this to the test. While I am an amateur journalist, I am not currently blogging.

I would like to invite ALL bloggers capable of trying this out to visit our friends in the White House.

Please give it a try, and feel free to blog us the fruits of your efforts.

3. Nah, she'll actually get in.
My point is that if Jeff Gannon is just being randomly admitted in, we should be able to as well.

I'm willing to bet there's nothing random about his admission.

I say we put it to the test.

4. Are you willing to sign the form that
pledges your allegiance to Bushco? I thinks its required for all WH activities.

6. No,
They take your form and send it to diebold saying that you have agreed to vote for Bushco and the repubs in every election from now on.

I wonder if they'd catch on...

12. Well he does have staff
that are freepers (or at least they used to be on his staff). So that might be acceptable.

7. I've been researching the DC chapter of FR
There are some interesting links so far. Like Freepers taking pictures of Gannon and "chatting it up" with him. I think he's a member of the DC chapter, but I don't have proof yet.. Probably good (or really good) friends with Kristinn (of port-a-potty) fame.

9. I guarantee you he's in there.
Maybe he's as bad as Corsi.

I'm not into destroying the anonymity of messageboard posting, personally, but it would be funny if he comes out to play with them.

10. actually, LOTS of DCers have TRIED, using credentials from

INDEPENDENT MEDIA....
