Dozens of Heads Were Bowed

By Dana Milbank
Friday, May 4, 2007; Page A02

Let us pray.

Let us pray that, on next year's National Day of Prayer, there is better attendance at the "Bible Reading Marathon" on the West Front of the Capitol.

Organizers put out 600 folding chairs on the lawn -- the spot where presidents are inaugurated -- and set up a huge stage with powerful amplifiers. But at 9:30 a.m. yesterday, not one of the 600 seats was occupied. By 11 a.m., as a woman read a passage from Revelations, attendance had grown -- to four people. Finally, at 1 p.m., 37 of the 600 seats were occupied, though many of those people were tourists eating lunch.

Where was everybody?

"This isn't that kind of event," explained Jeff Gannon, spokesman for the host, the International Bible Reading Association. Gannon, actually a pseudonym for James Guckert, had earned fame in 2005 representing a conservative Web site at White House briefings until it was revealed that he posted nude pictures of himself on the Web to offer his services as a $200-an-hour gay escort.

Let us pray for the power to understand how Gannon made his way from HotMilitaryStud.com to the International Bible Reading Association.

1. You have to admit.. That's pretty funny.

"37 of the 600 seats were occupied, though many of those people were tourists eating lunch."

(He's going to have to go back to his regular line of work. . Bible thumping isn't paying the way it did for awhile there)

[Kurovski]

19. Thumping is thumping.

I'm guessing the Remuneration is just fine.

While it's a certainty that he's somebody's favorite sodomite in Bush World, the question still remains: who is "the man in Jeff Gannon"?

[grace0418]

20. And prostituting oneself is prostituting oneself.

Gay military boy or "bible reader" (yeah, right), it's all a paycheck right?

[Kurovski]

21. Oh yes. And one definitely pays better than the other.

But every Bush operation needs a front.

[stubtoe]

27. "every Bush operation needs a front." Bingo!!

spot-on observation.

[tsuki]

2. a leap of faith? n/t

[rusty charly]

7. ...maybe he should've read something besides "The Begats"

[Kindigger]

3. Dozens of heads?

Three dozen heads, many of them bowed to fork food in their mouthes. LOL

[Kurovski]

23. Here's Jeff's invocation...

"Good grub, good MEAT, good God, let's eat."

[C_U_L8R]

4. Holy Moly

HotMilitaryStud's pimpin' for Jesus

[hlthe2b]

5. Damn, Milbank....so it took Gannon to finally push you off the

RW pandering bandwagon? No matter... the snark is appreciated! LOL

[rusty charly]

8. or maybe Olbermann's rubbing off on him...

[Kurovski]

33. I saw Olbermann first!!

I called dibs!

[calimary]

13. Yeah, but this is no conversion.

He'll be back throwing snark mostly at our guys in no time, like maybe the next day most likely. :eyes:

[tabasco]

56. The guy just tries to make money off of gullible people.

Right wingers and religious people.

It's no coincidence. He's a professional con man and he knows who the rubes are.

[SpiralHawk]

6. Revelations: George Bush had notiorious male prostitute Jeff Gannon

visit the White House over 200 times, with many overnighters, according to the official Secret Service records.

[blondie58]

9. Yeah- and how come the 'liberal media' didn't cover it?

no one has done an update- a story into why he went to the WH 200 times- and who he was visiting. Inquiring minds want to know. If this was the Clinton WH, no stone would have been left unturned.

[donheld]

10. This government of ours

just get's more insane every day. Jeff Gannon, spokesman for the host or pokerman of the host? :evilgrin:

[Christa]

11. Jeff Gannon

and heads should not be used in the same sentence :evilgrin:

[Kurovski]

35. Just add an "L" to one word and you have an ungrammatical and funny headline.

"Dozens of Heads Were Bowed"

Did'ja add the "L"?

I'm hoping that was on-purpose.

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

57. What's a "dlozen?"

:shrug:

[Senator]

12. It Was Supposed to Be "Thousands"

http://www.dcbiblemarathon.org/

Sunday, April 29 through Thursday, May 3, 2007

You are invited to join the thousands of believers who will come to the West Front of the U. S. Capitol
to read the entire Bible aloud and without commentary for 90 continuous hours.

Come to read, come to listen, come to pray.

...come to eat your lunch.

Odd? They don't have the Milbank article on their Media page.

15. republicons: What does the Bible say about prostitution?

I assume the Bible MUST approve of prostitution, since so many republicons are into it...

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

14. Revelation

The title of the book is "The Book of Revelation." There's no "S" at the end.

And Jeff Gannon as spokesman for the International Bible Reading Association is a sign of the end times. It's not in the book, but I'm pretty sure it's got to be true.

[Maraya1969]

16. What would happen if someone got up and started praying to the Sun Goddess?

It says "National Day of Prayer" not "National Day of Christian Prayer"

[pacalo]

17. Maybe those "powerful amplifiers" were for those who have gone into the "Rapture".

[Bitwit1234]

18. An observation

Remember sometime ago it was posted about bush and his love for bald heads. There were quite a few pictures of him planting one on the bald head or rubbing his hand over it. Well Gannon is bald. Or uh he shaves his head.....any connection I wonder...

[Kurovski]

24. It's called a "fetish"

which usually costs extra, depending on what is done to said bald head. Silence is even costlier.

[Divine Discontent]

45. It's a small world after all

You just brought up my video I made with the circus music and some kids show song I got off the net! It's by far my most popular, even over the condensed Clark 1/2 hour speech I pared down to 7 startling minutes.

[Wednesdays]

22. Jim Bakker is planning a comeback, too

Just you see...any day now...

[DemInAla]

25. As a gay protistute, maybe?

[Kurovski]

26. God may get pissed-off, but Jesus forgives

and forgives, and forgives, and forgives.

How convenient.

[Divine Discontent]

48. that's a good thing

for us humans imo, but it's used REPEATEDLY by thieves and shady false prophets and 'faithful' to bilk millions every year from people and get influence so they can have sex slaves brought to their luxury condos on the 30th floor while drinking the finest wine and laughing about how easy it was to deceive....

I'm just glad, seriously, I'm not having to answer for them.

[donsu]

28. it's not everyone who gets permission to use the West front of the

Capitol.

they wouldn't let Gore use the Capitol grounds.

who was working in the background of this failed event? who paid to rent and set up and take down the chairs?

[loudsue]

29. I want to know....WHO BROUGHT IN THE PORTA POTTIES??

You KNOW there had to be at least a dozen of them in anticipation of such a big day of prayer.

Republicans keep having parties where nobody comes....except their fundraising cocktail parties, where it looks like everybody comes.

Remember rumsfeld's march for the war where hardly anyone showed up?

The republicans don't know enough to be embarrassed.

:kick::kick::kick:

[Kurovski]

30. Wolfowitz has his Shaha Ali Riza

and somebody has Jeff Gannon.

[Laurab]

31. It's Rove, it's got to be

Somehow I knew I'd find you in a Jeff Gannon thread!

It's Rove, although maybe the Decider likes to pat Gannon's head. Only Rove makes sense - well, to me. He's the one with the WH access, he's arrogant enough to have had Jeffy be right there for everyone to see, and Jeffy is still around - he hasn't disappeared, matter of fact, Jimmy Jeff has been pretty arrogant himself.

I think he's Rove's "hot military stud" - I think all the other possible suspects have left the WH to spend more time with their families, but Rover is still there. So is George, of course, but he and Laura retire early, and they're probably both so drugged that nothing could rouse them.

[Kurovski]

32. Remember now, George had sex with the ambassador to Poland.

You think I'm making this up. (It's always Poland with us, isn't it?) But a working girl who ran for office in Nevada claims she was hired to join them and ended up...gulp...just watching.

I figure a hooker's word is better than George's any day of the week.

[Laurab]

34. I agree about the hooker's word

but, I'm ashamed to admit I never heard about this - where was Laura? Is that why he added "you forgot Poland"? I guess I'll have to keep an open mind about this, but Karl would have had to at least be the enabler.

Also, I'm somewhat sick to my stomach at the very thought of George having sex at ALL - thanks a lot! Maybe that's why I can't envision him with Jimmy Jeff - it's such a disgusting thought. But then, Karl having sex is equally as disgusting - I better go look at pictures of puppies and kittens or something before my beautiful mind becomes more troubled.

[Kurovski]

37. Grab a bottle of ipecac to get it out of the way, and head into the following thread...

http://journals.democraticunderground.com/lilypad_567

[Kurovski]

43. I should make it clear that she was a dominatrix,

which is more like a musical conductor than a hooker.

[Laurab]

51. Thanks so much for the ipecac tip!

That was revolting. I mean, I'm all about the sanctity of marriage (if you don't count getting divorced, or leaving husbands temporarily, or running off...well, never mind), but I don't go PREACHING about my sanctity of marriage beliefs or anything.

But, it's not even the hypocrisy - it's the IDEA of GW having sex with ANYBODY. It's so disgustingly gross.

It does explain why he likes Condi, maybe - she certainly reminds me of a dominatrix - what do you think? Condi, Karl, Jeffy, Georgie...oh, my beautiful mind - I must stop.

I'd kind of like to beat the shit out of him, but I SWEAR it's nothing sexual!

[hippiechick]

36. Jeff Gannon, spokesman for ... the International Bible Reading Association

:wtf: Don't the fundies always tell us that it's written right in that thar' Bible that Homosexuality is a Sin and Jebus preached against it and all hellfire and damnation will rain upon them etc etc ?


:shrug: I'm so confused.

[Kurovski]

38. I can help...

God is in the White House, and Jeff is God's boyfriend.

What God has joined, let no man put asunder.

God obviously just changed his mind on the gay stuff. I blame Elton John.

And there you have it, my dear hippiechick.

[hippiechick]

40. Can I get an Amen?

:hi: Thanks for the hints. I think I understand now.
A little time in my isolation chamber and a good whuppin' on behalf of the Lord and I'm sure it'll make complete sense.

[Kurovski]

42. Praise Jesus!

She's home! :hi:

[Divine Discontent]

46. brilliant Kurovski

it's so true...
it just ruffles my feathers to no endddd that a male prostitute can be associated with this group, and yet they preach fire and brimstone for homm-a-sekh-zuals! Bastards... they have to answer for their treatment of those who are either meek, poor, or downtrodden and we know how downtrodden the GLBT crowd has been treated.

AMAZING seriously, still, to think he was in charge of this??

[Kurovski]

49. Some basic civil rights would be nice.

I'd certainly appreciate it.

[illinoisprogressive]

39. hahahahaha. What a good laugh

[UNCLE_Rico]

41. Idiots, can't you see it's not THAT kind of event!

"Can't you media-types see that this a-here's not just your average, run-o-the-mill 'event'? No, sir, this ain't the kind where, you know, 'people' are actually supposed to 'show up and participate'! Don't know where the hell you got that crazy idea from. What's that? Well, heck, the hundreds of seats are just here to make sure people have the freedom to choose where they wanna sit. And of course, we need the giant PA system to make sure they can hear okay if they wanna sit towards the back there. Yup, this was all according to God's plan!"

The question I'd like answered, personally, is how come it's okay to hold this event here on this lawn, but it's NOT okay hold a global warming awareness concert on the same lawn? Why didn't Democrats (who actually control Congress right now) refuse to allow this silly thing when Inhofe pulled his bullshit over Gore's concert? Are they that paranoid about pissing off the fundies that they wouldn't even argue against this thing when it would been seen by most as fair retaliation for Inhofe's nonsense? I don't get it, man!

[Frustratedlady]

54. It's an example of putting church and state in your face...

They are so good at that.

[Supersedeas]

44. very strange bedfellows

[Divine Discontent]

47. goodness

thinking about it more, it would make sense he's the kidnapped Johnny Gosch that some say was used by the CIA for mind control to do whatever they order him to do... I know it'll always be a conspiracy, but still, it's amazing the cajones he has to go from "I'm James Guckert - Male Prostitute" to Host at the National Day of Prayer reading of the bible at the WHITE HOUSE... who let him do this??? seriously!

[earth mom]

50. Was Ted Haggard there? eom

[aspencer]

52. LOL!!

[Marrak]

53. To paraphrase John Stuart from the other night...

is there nothing the Repubics can do that isn't ironic?:wow: :hi: :kick: :shrug: :headbang:

[Morgana LaFey]

55. If this were part of a plot in a novel, you'd throw the thing down in

disgust. "Where's the verisimilitude? This is just hokey," you'd say. And you'd be right.

I'm thinking Dana Milbank is right: let's pray for the ability to figure out this incredible metamorphosis our Jeffie had endured. This must be some kinda miracle!

(It just gets more and more surreal, doesn't it?)

[Divine Discontent]

58. to say the LEAST... it's just bizzaro world! where's Haggard & Foley then? Or Rove! lol n/t
