What are the chances that Gannon is connected to Drudge?

[Renew Deal]

Seriously, what are the chances that our two favorite RW gay wanna be journalists are connected? Drudge is conspicuously missing the story from his site. Is that a clue? Is Drudge the bottom for that top? One has to wonder.

1. I think they are speed dial for booty calls to one another.

[Donailin]

2. he only goes after democrats that are having sex. oh and

Michael Jackson.

[Kerrytravelers]

4. Yes, I do stand corrected.

[Walt Starr]

3. Drudge would definitely be a bottom and we know Gannon is a top

It's a match made on an internets escort site!

5. Well, Drudge and Gannon are both a "mouth piece" for bush ...

... if you know what I mean. ;)

6. Why isn't Andrew Sullivan talking about this?

He's the one gay RWer who I would be interested in hearing from.

On 2-8-05 Drudge had a link to a google search with words like

Gannon, whitehouse reporter and such. It is no longer anywhere on his site that I can find now. I remember the date because the link appeared right after I emailed him about the Gannon affair.

I don't think that their is any connection that I have seen but they do seem to be connected by their gay conservative apologist line of thinking.

7. the fact that he's quiet says a lot...

Tt least a brief mention and link should on his site, but it is not.

8. Drudge probably feels there's plenty of other bloggers

beating up on Gannon. He doesn't need to touch it. Plus it may draw attention to him.

9. Drudge would have to put on some clothes and

sneak in the other room to write his blog.

10. kick

11. On a scale of 1 to 10 -- I would give odds of seven

I am more interested however with Gannon's connection to the freak republic and Hannity.

Scott does a good job. He is knowledgeable and stays on message - not an easy task under very hostile and agenda driven questioning by the DNC shills in the White House Press Corps.

His purpose isn't to provide soundbites, it's to provide information.

In an election year, the political soundbites should come from the RNC or the campaign.

12. what are the chances we have a new Craig Spence?

very very fishy. You think the filthy caligulas stopped their evil in '89 cuz of this story? nah, I don't think so.

13. We Dig Enough...We're Gonna Find It

The gut says "Twin "sons" of different mothers"...both running or part of misinformation campaigns operated and funded by different people, but all working for the same corporate bosses.

When Gannon told Leslie Wolfman his site...Talon News had 700,000 "readers" a day. Anyone with a little bit of Internet knowledge knew either these numbers were made up or he was using somebody else's. That's when Drudge's face (just like your pic above) showed. LOL.

Remember...it was "Gannon" who tried to advance the Kerry/intern infidelity story that Drudge had his little siren out for....and then had to, quietly, eat it. Maybe there's where we start checking...

BTW...one more name that could fit into this coven at this juncture. A guy who had "Gannon" on his program and tauted him as a repected "Jouranlist"...the only radio hate host who tried to run with the Kerry/intern lie...Sean Hannity.

Now...discuss...

[calimary]

14. A most astute observation.

And BTW, why do we NEVER see that guy whose name rhymes with Vanity EVER in the People magazine pages with a fancy-looking date on his arm? I mean, SO much has been made of his looks. One sitting I spent on "Talkers" magazine had all these puff pieces on hanity and his great camera-ready looks and how he was the next Anointed One as far as media superstardom and pant-pant, sigh-sigh... NAUSEATING. Yet we NEVER see him linked to any girlfriends...

Just a thought... I mean, even limbaugh and his date-du-jour make "People" magazine occasionally.

17. Have we heard anything about this from Brock?

He's a gay man who was traveling in the same circles at the same time.. Has he spoken up yet?? He might know where some of the bodies are buried :)

18. In Matt's dreams. n/t

[theorist]

19. There is an established rumor-mongering network for the right wing.

Clearly, both of these guys are dots on the graph, but I'm not sure if they're directly connected. The real story is how these "stories" go from GOPUSA/Talon News (and other RW outlets) and percolate up to drudge.

We all know what happens when the story gets on drudge: Fox, MSNBC, RW talk radio, CNN, newspapers ALL pick up on the story.

I think it's a longshot that the two are lovers, and we shouldn't be focusing on that anyway. Realize that a sex scandal can be used to cover up the more nefarious activities these guys are up to, e.g. lying us into an illegal and immoral war.
