Sex to go:Call White House press office
Bill Press

If you suspect the media are guilty of a double standard when it comes to covering the White House, you're right. It's now clear, without a doubt, that White House reporters are as easy on President Bush as they were hard on President Clinton. Consider the case of phony White House reporter Jeff Gannon.

You probably never heard of Gannon. No wonder. The mainstream media have largely ignored him – even though his story is as big a sex scandal, if not bigger, than anything that happened under Clinton.

To tell the truth, few people had heard of Jeff Gannon until President Bush's hastily called news conference on Jan. 26.

2. WorldNetDaily is like the freeper feeding-trough. Glad they're covering it
Finally, something both the Americans and the freepers can get worked-up over.

Freepers are like slinkys. They're absolutely useless, but it's always amusing to watch them fall down the stairs.

3. Wow, that is great!
This is the second thing WorldDailyNet has done on Gannon.

The Conservative press is starting to do a better job of reporting this than
the mainstream press is.

4. Is this the same Bill Press who used to be on MSNBC's
"Buchanan and Press?" He never let the thugs get to him, which is why you hardly ever see him on the air anymore.

5. Gov. Jerry Brown had an aide named Bill Press. Is this the same guy?
