Former Jeff Gannon publisher running for Vice Chair of Texas GOP

The GOP operative and conservative website owner who hired a onetime prostitute to cover the White House has decided to run for the vice chairmanship of the Republican Party of Texas, RAW STORY has learned.

Jeff Gannon, a $200-an-hour gay male escort, resigned from Eberle’s Talon News last February after pictures and stories emerged which revealed that he once toiled as a gay male prostitute. Eberle shut down the news site shortly thereafter, although his satellite Website GOPUSA.com remains active.

The little known "news organization" first attracted attention after Media Matters reported that a softball question Gannon asked of President Bush at a press conference had been lifted from a skit aired on Rush Limbaugh's radio show.

3. Some say Eberle is at the center of Bush's closet support
I think there are probably materials on it that can be found online to support that. Eberle's a West U. guy, as I recall, and he's jammed up and jelly-tight with the Bush fundraising team. Besides Guckert-Gannon, he's got other connections to the underground log cabin republicans.

9. yeah
Heard a rumor or two...but Eberle's married...and his wife also works with him. Not that it matters anyway. Unless he had ads...lol.

But I kind of think of him as Jeff's pimps in the plagiarizing journalism sense.

4. I hope he wins.
The only talent he has is that of a mass plagiarizer. He's an easy mark.

It's Eberle. They just used Gannon's name in the heading. I guess it's more eye catching? LOL!
