Jeff Gannon aka James Guckert; "Jeff Gannon is easier to pronounce"

[LynnTheDem]

BLITZER: And Jeff Gannon is joining us now for an exclusive television interview, his first TV interview since leaving his job.

Jeff, thanks very much for joining us.

Should I call you Jeff or James?

GANNON: Please call me Jeff Gannon.

BLITZER: So what -- explain the discrepancy. Your real name is James D. Guckert.

GANNON: Yes. Well, it's pronounced Guckert.

BLITZER: Guckert.

GANNON: It's a professional name. I used it because Jeff Gannon is easier to pronounce and easier to remember.

BLITZER: But you haven't legally changed it?

GANNON: No.

*********

ROTFLMAO!!! Only BUSH would be stupid enough to have a problen pronouncing JAMES instead of JEFF. :D :D :D :D :D

1. Has anyone googled James Guckert

to see if there is a story on that part of his life?

[Hugin]

3. Yeah...

There's hundreds of threads around here
about the antics of James D. Guckert A.K.A. Jeff "The Faker" Gannon.

[Hugin]

2. I say we simply call him a FAKE!

FAKE is easy to say and remember.

Jeff "Fake" Gannon.

[LynnTheDem]

4. LOL!!! But Prag, there'd be such HUGE confusion!!!

"Hey FAKE!"

bush; "Yes?"

rice; "Yes?"

rummy; "Yes?"

rove; "Yes"?

Scottie; "Yes?"

...

[Hugin]

7. Yikes! You be correct...

It'd be like yelling <insert professional title> at a
<insert profession> convention.

Can't have that!

;)

(Edit: Replaced "Right" with "Correct" in post title.)

[LynnTheDem]

8. LOL!

That could lead to mass "Yes?"s being bellowed by thousands...all at the same time.

OOOH IDEAR!!! That would identify all of the rightwingnut fakes, including the ones we don't (yet) know about! Everyone grab a can of spray paint so we can mark em as they answer. :D

[Hugin]

9. Oooo... Ahhh....

A SECRET WEAPON!

Cool... Let's keep this under wraps till the party
convention, what say?

;)

[LynnTheDem]

10. Sounds a plan.

:D

[fob]

5. Yeah it's not like bush* has a lifelong friend with the name of James

Baker III or anything that would allow him to practice, what?, nevermind.

[LynnTheDem]

6. Knowing TWO "James" would confuse poor wittle dumbya.

"Jeff" was just being kind to the poor wittle dumbya, not wanting to confuse him more than he already is. :D

[LynnTheDem]

11. Wow "Jeff" sure lied a lot in 1 short little interview!

It's hard to say with Scott but he usually knows what he's going to get from me.
