Ed Schultz just got Bob Novak Jeff Gannon Link-Leadership Inst
Edited on Fri Feb-11-05 04:06 PM by RamboLiberal
Big Eddie called the Leadership institute posing as a conservative talk show host interested in a program for himself and son. It was great.

Lady he talked to at the Institute mentioned Bob Novak lectures there from time-to-time.

As Big Eddie just said on Plame CIA leak! Ding, Ding, Ding, Ding!

4. I did and it was hilarious and shocking at the same time
The woman didn't seem to have any shame whatsoever ... I was just waiting for her to reel off a few more names, especially the people they've placed at Faux News!

3. Jeff Gannon was given a CIA Confidential Memo on Valerie Plame
Edited on Fri Feb-11-05 04:16 PM by RamboLiberal
The CIA agent wife of Ambassador Joe Wilson who outed the Bush SOTU lie on Saddam Hussein sought "unranium from Africa". Novak outed Plame in a column shortly after.

Gannon of course was just outed as a fake journalist who was in the WH press pool.

11. OK, here's what happened
I was driving in my car when I heard this, so I have to rely on my memory.

Ed Schultz was discussing the PropaGannon story and decided to place a call ON-AIR to the two-day wonder school that "Jeff Gannon" attended to receive his press credentials...something connected with the "Leadership Institute".

After being transferred and put on hold a couple of times, a nice lady answered Ed's request about information about enrollment for his son and himself.

The very polite young-sounding woman touted Robert Novak and "his reporters" as among the "guest" speakers at their seminars.

The loose connection is Leadership Institute - run by Morton Blackwell - Novak - Valerie Plame outing as CIA agent - phony "journalism" school - Talon "News" - White House.

5. I'll bet "Gannon" has something to do with the leak
Also, I checked out the Leadership Institute website and it is absolutely Naxi-ish. Read "What The Left Really Thinks" -- it's absolutely hate-filled. This is a training camp for Rethug Youth ...

12. I think you're correct
His usefulness to them is over. They'll just recruit somebody else from Freeperville to take his place.

13. I'll bet they had "Gannon" pegged as a patsy from day 1, a regular Oswald,
but Novak is not getting away with treason!

7. Oh, that's just a coincidence...
Lot's of WH shills with inside information and secret documents have gone to see Novak speak. That doesn't mean they're the ones who leaked the info.

10. She didn't say "Bob Novak lectures there from time-to-time"
He said a couple of Novak's reporters lectured from time to time. She repeated this twice.

14. It gets better Gannon/Hannity also linked to Rather Memo
Edited on Fri Feb-11-05 04:34 PM by Botany
HANNITY: Now, Jeff Gannon, who is a terrific Washington bureau chief and White House correspondent for Talon News, actually shot me an e-mail today, and he's about to break a story in an exclusive about these CBS documents.
Quote from fall 'o4

Sucks when they have you on tape Sean.
