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.

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.

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.
