Is GannonGuckert threatening to out Joe Biden as a customer?
by John in DC - 3/7/2005 07:59:00 PM

Sure sounds like it. This from GannonGuckert's Web site:

4:17pm

I watched a clip of Sen. Joe Biden on Bill Maher's HBO crapfest. I wonder why he didn't mention meeting me some years ago. C'mon Joe, think...

Now, GannonGuckert is either lying or telling the truth. If he's lying, his already sinking credibility will sink even further. If he's telling the truth, however, then things get even more interesting with this story as "some years ago" would be at least two years ago, and it's only two years that Gannon has been covering the White House. That would put GannonGuckert and Biden's "meeting" smack dab in the middle of Gannon's known prostitution years.

And if GannonGuckert is suggesting he slept with a senior US Senator (who is one of the top Senators on foreign policy issues) for pay during war time, then all bets are off on this investigation. That would mean we were right to be concerned about the security risk of GannonGuckert getting access to the White House, senior staff and the president. It would mean we were right to be concerned about who GannonGuckert might have slept with as a client to gain and retain access to the White House, and possibly sensitive information. It would mean we were right to ask what connection GannonGuckert has to Senator Thune in South Dakota, to Karl Rove, to Scott McClellan, and more.

If Gannon really wants to go there, then have at it. Because he's starting to make the case for one hell of an FBI investigation.

EDit: just to note someone posted in the comments thread at Americablog they had called Biden's office to let them know about this earlier today.

1. "C'mon Joe, think..."
Sounds vaguely threatinging, don'tcha think?

Also sound like g/g has used this phrase before to get something he needs.

2. It would explain a few of his questionable votes.
I wonder if an astute analyst could come up with a probability of compromise based on voting records. I'm sure if blackmail were involved in his voting decision process it would be saved for special occaisions.
