Conservative Web site gets it right about Gannon
by John in DC - 2/14/2005 09:01:00 PM

I'm actually kind of shocked by this article. Other than the public school thing, they're right on message. And I don't say that to knock them, like this is a message game. I say it to mean that considering most mainstream journalists have so-far dropped the ball on this story, it took a conservative Web site to understand the real-world and serious implications of this story:

One part in this story that has yet to surface is related to “Gannon”’s claim in his bio to have "taught in the public school system". Since Guckert’s degree from West Chester University of Pennsylvania is in Physical Education, he presumably was a gym teacher. Many parents will be unhappy that boys’ gym was taught by a gay prostitute that likes to wrestle, even if they can accept a discretely gay English teacher.

The bigger question is how did “Gannon” gain inside access to the White House only five days after Talon News Service was established? Was that long enough to run a background check? Did he have inside help? Did an earlier background check only turn up the problem that it would not look good if he were reporting for GOPUSA?

Finally there are the blackmail questions which exist for gays who are not “out of the closet”. Was Guckert blackmailing someone associated with the White House? Was somebody blackmailing Guckert or using Guckert’s services to blackmail someone else?

“Gannon” definitely got special treatment from the White House. So far the White House has denied this, saying anybody in a similar position could get daily press passes. Refusing to acknowledge his special treatment only leads to speculation that blackmail is somehow involved.

2. This is going to really piss off the fundies..
As homophobic as they are, this will piss them off badly.
I can imagine this will hurt them in the 2006 elections by turning off the fundie vote.

3. Too early to really affect 2008...
The country's colective memory does not go back that far.
