L’Affaire Gannon: Gay Hooker on the WH Tab

Now let’s see, the GOP is concerned that your morals and my morals may taint the sensibilities of American children. So they lobbied against a TV ad showing a one-second view of Mickey Rooney’s 84-year-old ass. Not, mind you, on the grounds of bad taste, but on the grounds it was salacious. Ditto above re a nano-second view of Janet Jackson’s surgically enhanced titty. Ditto above re an ad with Nicolette Sheridan’s towel-drop in front of footballer Terrell Owens. Ditto above re showing “Private Ryan” with cuss words. And, as a further protection against immorality, the GOP wants to amend the Constitution so that the sacred bond of marriage can never be enjoyed by gays. Okie-dokie, fair enough. The GOP is concerned about the nation’s morals. The President of the United States is a born-again Christian who never misses a chance to sermonize that his values and morals should be a beacon into the dark abyss of our values and morals. The President’s speechwriter is a born-again Christian. Prayers are mandatory in this White House. Prayers start each day. Prayer breakfasts must be attended. It’s even been rumored the Prez has spoken in tongues at one of these prayer-fests and had to be forcibly restrained. Enter James Guckert who uses an alias, Jeff Gannon. Gannon daily attended (until last week) White House press briefings because he had acquired bogus press credentials from a bogus blog called Talon.com. The fake credentials were accepted by the President’s press secretary Scott McClellan, though they didn’t pass muster in the House of Representatives where Gannon was denied a Capital press pass. McClellan always called on Gannon because Gannon was a GOP plant. He shilled for GOPUSA. Gannon never failed to ask pointed questions that put the Democrats in a bad light and painted the Bush administration as righteous. This latest example of the GOP paying for good press, as it did in the case of Armstrong Williams who was bribed to speak well about “No Child Left Behind”, is another blot on the Bush administration. But wait...there ‘s more.... Now we find out Gannon/Guckert is a working male hooker who sells himself on gay porn sites...and one wonders....where else, Mr. McClellan? So the GOP doesn’t think it’s fair for Mr. Gannon/Guckert’s unsavory employment resume to be dragged out into the open and paraded about as an illustration of corruption in the Bush Administration’s White House? Get real, girls...and pull up your trousers.
