Asked if he had discussed the Guckert/Gannon episode with President Bush, McClellan said, "We've only talked about it briefly," but declined to be more specific. "He's got a lot of other priorities," McClellan added.
McClellan also said he was unaware of Talon News' ties to the Texas Republican Party until recently, when scrutiny of Guckert, also known as Jeff Gannon, increased following what many perceive to be his partisan questioning of President Bush at a press conference last month.
"
I first came across him two years ago when I was deputy press secretary and he started covering the White House," McClellan said about Guckert's identity during a phone interview with E&P. "I knew he asked questions from a conservative viewpoint, but that was all."
McClellan also said he did not believe Bush knew Bobby Eberle, the owner of GOPUSA.com and Talon News, despite the fact that Eberle is a Texas Republican activist and was a delegate to the 2000 GOP convention.
"I don't think he has ever known him; I don't think he has ever met him," McClellan told E&P. "I have never asked the president, but I don't think so." Guckert received White House "day pass" credentials within days of signing on with the obscure Web site in the spring of 2003.
