More Gannon fodder

Alleged gay escort Jeff Gannon (né James Dale Guckert) has been taken a lot of heat passing himself off as a White House reporter. But there has been an upside.

Gannon says that some of his harshest critics - "radical gay activists" - have actually come on to him.

His detractors shed their convictions "like a sweater on a hot day," Gannon says in the new issue of Vanity Fair.

The born-again Gannon refused to talk about his sexuality with reporters David Margolick and Richard Gooding but says, "Did I know sin before I knew salvation? You bet! But my life was heading in the right direction. What's interesting about this is now I'm being punished for things I left behind."

Gannon also hints at doing secret work for which he needed White House security clearance, although he refuses to elaborate: "My history isn't exactly linear."

1. What a lying asshat.
Who is punishing the poor wittle boy? And when exactly did he become born again? I saw those pictures on the web very recently.

He's a tool. An ungly one.

6. On some CNN show
Edited on Tue May-03-05 12:31 PM by FreedomAngel82
he said he was a two-day Christian which means Christmas and Easter. I hardly call that born-again. Born-again's are very serious about going to church and continuing their beliefs and spiritual journey. Not a two-day thing. He's saying that so he can say "those darn liberal's hate me because I'm Christian!" wa wa wa. Get over it asshole. You did this to yourself.

4. What a joke
He's such a fucking joke. Born again gay prostitute? Why was his website's still up when he was in the white house? He's such a prick. I thought he was going to disappear but he keeps coming back.

19. I'll give you a reason
he lied about being a Marine. My son is a Marine, now back in Iraq for his second tour. I totally loathe chickenhawks who speak of the glory of war and strut around like warriors when, in reality, they're posers who want the rep. but not the real life horror.
Quantico says he never served. I believe Quantico. Not Jeff Gannon/Guckert.

21. And another reason.
He's a self-loathing gay man who works for the GOP pushing the con's agenda of discrimination and lies.

He works for the party and the media that is responsible for the war and the dismantling of our government and looting of our treasury in order to fill the bank accounts of the 1 percenters.

23. the self-loathing
seems to apply to many right-wingers. Coulter speaks of how stupid women are and derides high-achieving career women. Yet she's a single, yes, high-achieving career woman.
And Newt. What a mess of hypocritical "family values" spouting madness. Making his career on traditional values while walking out, literally, on his cancer-ridden wife. Then cheating on wife number two while lambasting Clinton for infedelity.
And, yet, sheep follow these shallow leaders.
The mind boggles.

25. Yes. He helped spread lies so my son may get drafted.
For starters: He helped spread propaganda which helped convince enough people to vote for Mr.bush (not saying elect but voted for) to allow him to remain in power (not saying re-elected but remain in power) and start and continue his wars and my son will be draftable age when it starts. He helped get rid SD of the "evil" Tom Daschle and continue the congress republican, leaving me with less chance of decent health care coverage, less adequate educational system, etc. Yes. He did. He was part of the system, though a patsy, but still a good part of it.

18. Surely you're familiar with NLH.
You see, he got his Masters in bullshitting before he got his Bachelors. Then he got his first pubes. See, very non-linear.

13. There is no doubt in my mind that not only is he a
whore for the whitehouse but that he's also a narcissist and a sociopath and completely insane.

17. "Isn't exactly Linear? "
What's interesting about this is now I'm being punished for things I left behind."

Gannon also hints at doing secret work for which he needed White House security clearance, although he refuses to elaborate: "My history isn't exactly linear."


The “linear” comment is fairly cryptic. Could it be a hint? Is he saying that he “left behind” his career as a boy toy at one point in the past and then returned to his old ways during the period that he was doing “secret work” in the WH and is now once again a former male escort?

That certainly could be seen as non-linear in a way. Is JimmyJeff trying to be clever by throwing out cryptic hints?

Just speculating….

24. Yep that last line is very new news on the Jimmy/Jeff front...
Hopefully one of the half dozen J/J investigation sites will take it for what its worth.

Though the born again comment is pretty damn funny and obviously menat to couch with the "left behind" comment. Hmmm what does "Left Behind" have to do with Fundy fried on Christ types?? Rove or Card is telling him what to say again.

22. Jiffy-Lube Jeff isn't born again. He meant to say he's boring again.

"Shed their convictions like a sweater on a hot day"? Phew. Does anyone foresee a book in the works?

26. there's no such thing as a white house security clearance
there is secret, top secret and then a number of lifestyle poly and compartmentalized ... but not White House secutity clearance.
