5. Did you catch the question on Karl Rove?
Edited on Thu Feb-17-05 02:54 PM by 8_year_nightmare
Why would any journalist (in this case, "journalist") take up valuable time to "ask" about "an angry mob" surrounding Karl Rove's home, unless the questioner's agenda comes from the WH? It has nothing to do with WH policy.

And did you notice the look on the female reporter's face in back of "Gannon" when he linked Jane Fonda to John Kerry? Priceless. Her face said it all.

6. The Karl Rove question would indicate that Rove wrote the questions
all of them.

And also forwared the Valerie Palme classified information to Gannon et al.

7. Something's up when the creep kisses up to Karl Rove
when the focus is supposed to be on White House policy.

OLBERMANN: Good evening. The White House thought it had a tiny scandal on its hand, a storm in a teapot over the granting of credentials to a writer from an unknown news organization operated by a Texas Republican politician, pseudo reporter, who asked questions of the president and press secretary so softball in nature, that they embarrassed even arch-conservatives. Turns out that was the good news.

Our fifth story on the COUNTDOWN tonight the writer known as Jeff Gannon has resigned his position with Talon News after a series of accusations. Foremost of them, that that may not be his real name. hand the trade publication writing that a series of Internet blogs, “Posted allegation yesterday that Web sites such as hotmilitarystud.com, militaryescorts.com, and militaryescortsm4m.com, were registered to the same owner as Gannon‘s home Web site, jeffgannon.com—according to the blog Media Citizen.

That blog reports that the acronym m4m is common Internet short happened for men for men. Gannon or his investigators at the Web site Daily Coast have identify him, James J.D. Guckert, had been at the center of a small controversy, largely limited to journalistic and intensely political circles for several weeks.

Congresswoman Louise Slaughter of New York, today, wrote to the president, asking in essence if Gannon or Guckert was a plant. Given White House press room credentials in order to provide Mr. Bush with what some more established reporters analogize, to life lines for the TV series “Who Wants to be a Millionaire. The scrutiny intensified after president called him—called on him at Mr. Bush‘s January 26 televised news conference. And Gannon or Guckert asked a question, during which he stated that Democratic Senate leaders “Were divorced from reality.” And he misquoted Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, as having forecasted an economy so bad it would produce soup kitchens. The remark was actually in jest by the conservative commentator Rush Limbaugh. Gannon or Guckert posted a brief note on his personal Web site, explaining the end of his reportorial career. Quoting it, “Because of the attention being paid to me, I find it is no longer possible to effectively be a reporter for Talon News. In consideration of the welfare of me and family, I have decided to return to private life. Thank you to all those who supported me.
