Hard Pass Vs. Daily Pass: Olberman JUST CLEARED IT UP!
What looked like a hard pass was Gannon's OWN TALON NEWS ID.

There you go!

1. He needs an ID to walk into an office that doesn't exist?

9. Even a fake newsorg with no office has better security than the WH,
or so they would have us believe.

5. That's true...
...so, would he have the balls to wear an ID that said "GOPUSA?"

(Of course, we know he has the balls. We've seen them...x( )

4. That's not what I heard
He was talking to the director of the WH correspondents and they both agreed he had a daily pass, not a hard pas. Said that Gannon just put his own lanyard and laminate on it but it was a WH daily pass. I've got it on tape and checked 3 times.

8. Does the daily pass have a photo?
Because the shot I saw looked like a photo ID badge.

6. Not what he said
Just listened again. Same as my other post. It was a daily pass from the WH, Gannon just put his own lanyard on it. Sorry to post twice, just wanted to let ya know.

10. And he needed that because
he worked in such a big office and they had to be able to tell he was an employee? Sounds kinda lame to me... He's the Washington Breaue chief of Talon News, a news orginazation ran by less that 50 people, most being volunteers. I kinda got the impression he was pretty much a one man show in Washington. Why would he need a company ID?
