2. Big Bad Gannon Already Playing Victim - from Salon.com today
Jeff Gannon speaks: It could happen to you

The voice is back!

Jeff Gannon hasn't been returning calls from a lot of reporters since he resigned from Talon News this week, but he has granted an interview to his hometown newspaper, the News Journal of Wilmington, Delaware.

In the interview, Gannon says what happened to him should serve as a wake-up call for serious journalists everywhere. "I asked a question at a White House press briefing and this is what happened to me," Gannon told the News Journal. "If this is what happens to me, what reporter is safe?"

Gannnon -- the News Journal refers to him by his real name, James D. Guckert -- says that he's the victim of forces who will "try to turn people's lives inside out." "They tried to intimidate me, punish me," he says. "Then they tried to embarrass me, and they've done a pretty good job of that."

5. Golly JD, who tried to embarrass you?
Seems to me that you have an airtight case for a lawsuit: Definition of character.

8. Oh, my! Poor little Jeffie. We're so mean to him!
My hope is that he hasn't seen anything yet.

3. I can pre-quote her opening....
"It seems that Democrats still can't get over the massive mandate set by President Bush's solid re-election...."

6. He is going to be on Wolfie's show at 5:00 pm ET
If Wolf treats him the way he and Kurtz did yesterday it will be a puff piece.

11. Stop watching that shit!
Every time you give CNN, MSNBC, Faux news, any of the mainstream media any of your time you make them stronger and you hurt our movement.

What the fuck do you expect from these people? They are OWNED by the White House, so quit giving them power.

That is what media matters is for, I encourage you and everyone you know to get your news online and from the Daily Show everything else is a waste of time.

12. I suppose we shouldn't be surprised
They issue visas to terrorists after their dead and and never bother to stop them from coming here or on the plane in the first place.

No one can imagine such things! They have no imagination and no common sense. Or wait! They know exactly what they are doing. Mmmmm

Between the imcompetence and the outright fiendishness it's so hard to choose.
