Was Rove ghostwriting for Gannon?

Rove's Other Dummy

I stumbled onto another piece of evidence for the Rove-Gannon connection last night, and Karl Rove is still a free man, so quickly, here it is:

Jeff Gannon's blog in the last few months -- I haven't read it all the way back -- reads as if it were ghosted by Turdblossom himself. And I don't mean that as mere literary criticism: the June 8 entry refers to a "me" in the blog that can only be Rove himself.

Here's the passage, in which Gannon the weary amanuensis seems to have forgotten to edit out "me." I've italicized the giveaway line:

"When Sen. Joe Biden distanced himself from Screamin' Howard Dean on Sunday, the Hard Left decided to heap on the Delaware senator. His criticism of the DNC chair's injudicious remarks combined with an association with me many years ago seems to much to bear. Check out the lefty blogs to see the venom aimed at Biden that is usually reserved for Republicans or conservative journalists. No link is provided, do your own Google search! Posted by jeffgannon at 10:30 PM"

Now, the only way the above makes sense is if it was written by Rove. The "injudicious remarks" refer, of course, to Dean's attacks on the Rove-led GOP. Gannon, who was an office manager in western Pennsylvania just a few years ago, obviously couldn't have had a known "association" with Biden, certainly not one from many years ago.


More at link.

I hope this isn't a dupe. Just thought it was interesting. Maybe those who have followed the Gannon affair more closely can speculate on the significance, if any.

Edited to emphasize the line of Gannon's blog in question.

1. Wow! I thought I was the only one who thought this!

Everyone in my household guffawed at me when I said I thought so. Thanks for this... I am about to get insufferable to those who poo-pooed this idea! LOL!

2. I think he's referring to himself (Gannon)

There was plenty of speculation here about Gannon being somehow "involved" with Joe Biden.

5. "Involved"? You mean he and AWOL Bush took turns with Gannon?
