Dem Loonies Force White House Staff to Shoplift
 

Highest paid White House aide, Claude Allen, domestic advisor to Bush, and
former Bush nominee to a Federal judgeship, is charged with shoplifting at
Target over 20 times. Whitehouse spin says he resigned for personal reasons.

Im sure that Deano can explain how (Select one) Clinton/Kerry/Roosevelt/Max
Cleland, forced this guy to shoplift, but what Im really waiting for is to
learn how (Select one) Clinton/Kerry/Roosevelt/Max Cleland, forced the Bush
White House to give an access pass to that male prostitute who dressed up
like a Marine and specialized in "mild humiliation."

Yep, that would be James Dale Guckert, AKA "Jeff Gannon", "Bulldog", "Lou",
etc.. You can get quite a bit of the story from this link.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeff_Gannon

Gannon was given a number of daily passes as a "White House reporter." The
"Secret Service logs of his comings and goings have a number of interesting
anomalies, and guess what, ole "Bulldog" does a bit o body work. In my
opinion the most likely candidates for his "clients" in the Whithouse
include . . . but that might spoil the mystery. Just one more chunk of
sleaze from Team Bush.

If the myth of a "liberal press" needed one more pin in the balloon, I'd
offer that story. Just the fact that you'd need to refer anybody to a link
to find out about "Gannongate" is astounding. Bubba gets a hummer in the
office & it gets more coverage than Natalie Holloway; but a known male
prostitute gets WH access and....the silence was deafening.

In my
opinion the most likely candidates for his "clients" in the Whithouse

My first guess was Mehlman, but he wouldn't need WH access for that.

The really disgraceful part of the story is that he wasn't a real
journalist, the operation he worked for (Talon News) was a front for the
GOP, consisting of himself and one other guy, and his sole function was
to serve up softball questions whenever the press secretary or the
president got into trouble. He didn't even have real press corps
credentials -- he was given temporary day passes.

It's amazing what chicken****s the press have been with Bush. Here was a
deceitful operation that undermined the credibility of the press (by a
male prostitute, no less), and they didn't have the guts to really cover
it. Now that Bush's approval ratings are in the toilet that's starting
to change.

The wildest interpretation is that Talon was set up as a cover so that
Gannon could quietly "service" a senior person at the Whitehouse (whose
sexual preferences placed them in danger if they needed to go to street
prostitutes,) . . . instead of as a cover to plant a "friendly journalist"
to lob the Press soft ball questions. This sounds wildly improbable, . . .
UNTIL one considers the escapades of Roy Cohn, as well as the bizarre
"private life" of J. Edgar Hoover. The right-wing in the US has always had
this schitzo thing with gay stuff, having numerous closeted folk in
leadership positions, while at the same time feeding the fundamentalist
lumpen a diet of anti-gay attack verbiage.

IMHO, the most likely candidates for Guckert AKA "Gannon" (s) whippings are
someone in the Whitehouse press secretary's office, someone in Card's
office, or "someone" in Rowe's office. Cheney shows hints of the same kind
and style of nastiness that characterized Hoover's lighter-than-air show,
but for some reason I don't think he was the client. He probably knows who
the "client" is, and could have vetoed the deal, but I don't think he was
the whipee.

Its not surprising that its on the media backburner given the almost weekly
drumbeat of fresh new sleaze, and the fact of the Whitehouse's superb
ability to play the press. For one thing, it would be very easy for the
Whitehouse to divert any substantial new press investigation of the "Gannon
Affair" as "an anti-gay attack" by the "hypocritical extreme left."
