'Gannon' Interview: Met Rove at a party
<<SNIP>>
http://www.editorandpublisher.com/eandp/news/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1000799182

In the interview with E&P, Guckert also:

• explicitly denied ties to White House officials,and claimed he had met Karl Rove just once, at a party;

<</SNIP>>

And what kind of party was this? Did it involve wearing masks, and needing a password to get in the front gate?

Sorry I couldn't help myself... :-)

1. I wonder if that party involved...
pentagrams and ritual sacrifice of a goat? Or just a lot of sweaty, naked men.

5.  He was a plant. They don't just call on reporters randomly
It's prearranged, stage crafted.

9. Gannon-Rove and the purple heart bandaids
(according to this article, Rove and Gannon go way back.)

http://www.pnionline.com/dnblog/extra/archives/001437.html
"Jeff Gannon" and Karl Rove -- one degree of separation

More interesting is that he and Karl Rove seem to share a mentor -- a largely under-the-radar wingnut named Morton Blackwell. It seems that "Jeff" also is a graduate of the the Leadership Institute Broadcast School of Journalism -- a conservative propagandist training school that was founded and is run by Blackwell and that operates on an $8 million annual budget which comes from God knows where.

Remember the lame stunt during the Republican National Convention in NYC where many delegates taunted war hero Kerry by wearing purple band-aids that said: “It was just a self-inflicted scratch, but you see I got a Purple Heart for it”? It was Blackwell, a GOP delegate from Virginia, who handed the band-aids out to the conventioneers.

Less well known is that Blackwell -- who was the youngest Barry Goldwater delegate in 1964 -- is also a former national executive director of the College Republicans, who had trained the teen-age Karl Rove to be a “field organizer.” According to a May 2003 New Yorker article, it was Blackwell who urged Rove to shun the growing reliance on pollsters and media consultants and go back to the grassroots. We all know how that turned out.

would be to bring down Rove.

12. Bring down Rove and the rest will follow. Don't know much about
Rove exept what I read in "Bush's Brain." I am sure he leaked the Plame info, but doubt that it will ever come back to him.
