Now He's Hiring Hookers.....

So it seems that Bush wasn't content to pay off supposedly "reputable" columnists/journalists like Armstrong Williams and Maggie Gallagher. Bloggers better ones than I am clearly have discovered that the so-called Jeff Gannon, a White House reporter famous for lofting softballs at the present during Press Briefings which he would hit out of the park and preen like Peacock was actually a male prostitute of a different name. Just amazing. Even more amazing is that with all the scandal that arose when Jayson Blair was caught lying not a single major news service has picked up on this or even comment on it. Heck even US News and World Report columnist John Leo who spent his entire column praising Bloggers for causing Vernon Eason of CNN to resign by uncovering remarks he made in Davos, Switzerland failed to completely mention the skill with which Bloggers uncovered the story about a male prostitute who, while using a fake name somehow gained access to White House Press briefings... Given this era of security paranoia. It is amazing that someone could do such a thing, especially since Congress failed to give this "Jeff Gannon" guy the same credentials....
I guess it might wrong of me to imply that the White House let this guy in deliberately to ask Bush the softball questions he appreciates best, but then again this is the President who has held the least open press conferences of any president in history and during War Time no less. My only satisfaction is that the truth of his lies, deception, fascist-style manipulations will eventually become public and I have a long life to watch his reputation properly sullied in mud as the most dangerous, evil president in our nation's history. Yes, even more criminal and worse than Nixon, even more reckless and stupidly "optimistic" than Hoover and certainly more corrupt than even that other famously corrupt Republican administration under U.S. Grant. I hope conservatives realize that they are planting the seeds of the DEATH of their movement since the more the play around the more it will require totalitarianism to maintain and that is one thing we won't stand for.... I hope.........
