Gannon comes out: Former escort, conservative reporter grilled on White House visits

<snip>

Yet perhaps the most stunning of Gannon's comments was his assertion that he supports "outing" gays who live one life and vote another. Gannon – who himself was "outed" as a former sex worker without his consent – said that he supported the outing of erstwhile Virginia Congressman Ed Schrock (R-VA), who resigned in disgrace after Rogers posted tapes of him soliciting gay sex on the Internet.

"I look at the case of the congressman from Virginia, and I'm not entirely clear of all of the elements of the case that it seems like he was voting one way in Congress and living another way in his personal life," Gannon told RAW STORY Thursday. "That, I think, is a contradiction that probably should have been looked at. It's the same thing with these people that run around and talk about drinking is bad, ‘We're going to change the drinking age,’ or ‘We're going to restrict smoking’ and then again they do those same things, like, 'I'm going to set the rule and say they don't apply to me.'"

1. lol

I cant believe he can say this with a straight face!

'I'm going to set the rule and say they don't apply to me.'

Thats the GOPs official slogan, isnt it? I think I saw it on a banner somewhere at the national headquarters...

2. Why is Raw Story giving Gannon ink?

Sad.

Schrock was a great rep for VA-02, I still think he was setup by BUSHCO cronies to resign so they could put Thelma "lips firmly planted on DeLay's Ass" Drake to take his seat. The GOP spent millions here to make sure she won too, by swiftboating Iraq vet David Ashe in '04.
