5. giving him hard time on his name switch once in WH
much tougher than leslie so far.

JG says LOTS of people use pseudonyms, then admits "mistakes" in past

saying they're setting new standard in going after him cause they don't like his politics

doing very badly

hahahahahahha

9. He made the 'mistakes', not the people who disagree. He's responsible for
the decisions he made. He's an adult.

Edited on Fri Feb-18-05 07:43 PM by Bunny
He's not letting this weasel slide!!!

GOPUSA is a clearly partisan organization - why were you allowed to attend?

"I don't know."

You've lifted large amounts of your reports from White House press releases.

"I wanted accuracy in my reports (paraphrased)."

What a farking douchebag!!!!!!

26. Cooper said just lifting text of White House press releases
and printing them is NOT reporting, it's nothing more than xeroxing.

31. let him off the hook after he plaintively whines: "why should bringing..
Edited on Fri Feb-18-05 07:48 PM by Gabi Hayes

he kept going into how nasty that liberal media was for invading his poor personal life, and said that NO reporter EVER had been treated the way he has been

hey, Jeff, ever heard of SIDNEY BLUMENTHAL, Jason Leopold, Bob Parry, Ray Bonner, or, say Danny Casolaro, for starters?

33. Justin Raimondo on antiwar.com
brings up the Plame memo referred to. Said Gannon passed up the chance twice on other occasions to mention it had been in WSJ. Must be Gannon read Raimondo

30. Anderson saw Napoleon Dynamite.
"Wow, ligers...guess they're not just in Napoleon Dynamite."

The only reporter on the big 3 cable news networks I still trust is Anderson Cooper, and he just showed why. Good job, Anderson!

Later.

32. Gannon: "Why should my 'past' prevent me from having a future?"
Considering that in many states convicted felons who have paid their debt to society and stayed clean, can't even VOTE, that's rich. Gannon owes back taxes, and apparently engages in illegal activity, and he is given access to the president.

37. Does that mean Gannon thinks that Karla Faye
shouldn't have been executed for what she did in her past?

34. Well, I'm convinced...
Jeff is just a serious journalist trying to build a future,
leaving his whoring days behind him.

Makes one wonder why he "forgot" to close down the web sites.

38. I don't think I've ever seen anyone blink so much in my life
especially when he was talking about not seeing the CIA memo.

Noticed he didn't deny being a gay prostitute either.

43. Not only was he blinking profusely...
He had that funny stilted speaking pattern that blivet* has, you know, like when he goes into a debate, press conference, sotu, etc.

Do you think he was being fed answers?

42. ........Gannonn Will Roll........
......Fitz may have already known of this for a while and is simply letting the theater play itself out wrt Gannon/Plame?...Certainly forces the image of Treason upon the public.....I guess the Q? for me is what will the GOP offer Gannon in exchange for his possible incarceration stint......Hey maybe Gannon will be an Agency Director or Cabinet Official somewhere down the road.....
