29. Yeah, I stopped watching him before
the ill-fated election just past. Like I said, I just broke my own rule and regret it. Their sponsors deserve no attention from me.

5. I saw that too
It was just unbelievable. Didn't mention Slaughter's letter, didn't mention that Talon News isn't even real, total suck up to this guy.

I think it's part of the MSM's strategy to just label the entire blogosphere as lunatics.

the Feurer President with fake names and the Secret Service didn't find out this background that a bunch of librul bloggers looked up in less than a day with Google? Hell, he could have been a terrorist, I'm sure they're all bald under their turbans anyhow. </sarcasm>


edit for spelling

10. Does Wolfie know about the questionable web sites?
If he doesn't, this could become very amusing.

17. Of course he knows. During the "stall" time before the report, he and
Kurtz rehearsed the Q and A. Blitzer had been briefed. Remember when he asked Kurtz the question "What news organization did Gannon work for?"?. As if he didn't already know the answer.

21. Interesting. Suppose Wolfie's a client??
Why else would he cover for the guy?? The most ardent Republican ought to be jumping ship on this one.

Edited on Wed Feb-09-05 06:31 PM by Cleita
the scale of being a grifter. I think if they had any credibility that they would be distancing themselves from this person. Has anybody dug into Blitzer's and Kurtz's background?

organization that can be verified.

27. If Gannon had another name, why not the rest of these jerks.
Gannon just used his fake name to get into the White House. Do these guys use fake names to get into other "houses"?

25. You know, something tells me this hit a nerve, though
I can't think of any other story that broke in a blog and garnered a Woflie whitewash so quickly.

Wasn't it just yesterday that the blogosphere broke the HotMilitaryStuds.com aspect? Gannon 'retires' the next morning, and it's already a coverup piece on Woflie with Kurtz? When else have they ever moved this fast on a blog-based story?

I've no doubt that the blogs have Gannon cold, but this remarkable reaction by the 'press plumbers' suggests that there is far more to the story than has come out so far.

26. In quiring minds want to know and Randi hinted there is more
but she needs to verify first.
