New Petition: Special Prosecutor for "Jeff Gannon"
Sign the petition and spread the word!

http://democrats.com/gannon

To: George W. Bush, Alberto Gonzales, Congress, and the Media

We demand the appointment of a Special Prosecutor to investigate the
"journalist" using the pseudonym "Jeff Gannon" (James Dale Guckert) who attended daily press briefings at the White House and was regularly called upon by Scott McClellan.

Obviously "Jeff Gannon" is not a bona fide journalist and should never
have been given White House press credentials.

In 2003, top White House officials gave "Jeff Gannon" exclusive access to an internal CIA memo that named Joseph Wilson's wife, Valerie Plame, as a covert CIA agent.

It is obvious that there was a conspiracy between "Gannon," McClellan, and other top White House officials to run "smear" campaigns against White House "enemies" and to interfere with tough questions by real White House reporters. This is unacceptable in a Democracy.

In addition, "Jeff Gannon" may have dabbled in male prostitution rings
(through registration of sites like Hotmilitarystud.com,
Militaryescorts.com, and Militaryescortsm4m.com) which raises the
possibility he was bringing male prostitutes into the White House or other institutions of our government.

These issues go infinitely beyond the charges involving Monica Lewinsky and therefore demand immediate investigation and prosecution.

Sign the petition and spread the word!

1. Thanks for posting this but isn't it a shame
that such action would require a petition? I know its silly to even consider "they" would do the right thing; but on reconsideration didn't "they" get happy with special prosecutors and investigations not too many years ago?

4. Definitely a shame...but
the reich-wingnut HYPOCRITES have taken over and we have to do what we can, I guess. If Gannon was a Dem, this crap would be all over FAUX newz, CNN, MSNBC, CBS, ABC - front page of USAToday, etc...but he's not so...
