I thought this deserved it's on thread. Near the end of the video next to the guy wearing the t-shirt.

Nice catch Pachamama.

[Chimichurri]

1. it looks like him - the video was small on my monitor and I couldn't

tell for sure if it was.

[stillcool]

2. how very weird....

[global1]

13. The Forrest Gum of Our Time.....n/t

[me b zola]

3. I saw that

Also, during lunch break cspan was showing statements made earlier in the lobby. G-G was questioning the Dem Senators. Durbin got fed up with him and asked him who he worked for. G-G says he works for "Pajama Media" :rofl:

[The Witch]

5. really? post that on its own thread

:rofl:

8. If he is then he's changed his name again....

Maybe Jill Stewart....:shrug:

16. The camera never showed his face during the lobby comments

But since he was at the hearings, and the voice sounded exactly like his, I am assuming that it is him. :shrug:

[FreedomAngel82]

21. You can see it really good at the very end of the video

You can see an angle very good. He's trying to hide from the camera but the camera still catches him and you can see it. It is him.

[trudyco]

33. It looks like him and I bet he's Jose Guardia - same initials...

What does that mean? Joe Guard?

So very like him.

So of the others, I've heard of little green footballs and Michael Barone is the obnoxious commentator in US News and World Report - right?

Are these names for real? Magnus? Troja? Wadum?

You have to please your clientele after all.

Next time I'll read the whole thread before I post. :blush:

fwiw, Gannon's blog isn't listed on their blogroll (http://pajamasmedia.com/pages/2006/01/blogroll.php#J)

About Us (from Pajama Media's website)

Pajamas Media had its beginnings in 2004, when co-founders Charles Johnson and Roger L. Simon experienced first-hand two events that marked the growing influence of blogs on society: a blog-driven investigation into the United Nations Oil for Food scandal and another into the falsified military records cited by CBS News in coverage of President George W. Bush.

From those and other blogging experiences, Roger and Charles knew there was enough expertise and investigative ability among bloggers nationally and globally to out-report the mainstream media on turf they had long controlled. The two Los Angeles co-founders were already friends via their blogs, Little Green Footballs and Roger L. Simon. So, as they talked to other participants in the ever-expanding blogosphere, an idea began to take shape.

Roger, a well-known novelist and screenwriter, and Charles, a successful musician and software designer, realized that by aggregating weblogs together into a new media form, blogs could become a force to be reckoned with in the 21st Century. To pursue their vision, they sought out the advice and involvement of several widely respected top bloggers, and soon a plan emerged.

After spending several months developing a model to support a dramatic new publishing medium, they announced in the summer of 2005 that their venture was a go. Their plan will provide an online place where readers and thoughtful bloggers can come together to be informed, to explore issues of the day, and to have fun. Key details of the plan are still under wraps. For now, the co-founders will say only that there will be a significant unveiling in the fall of 2005. http://info.pajamasmedia.com/about.php

34. David Corn?... isn't he anti-bush? n/t

[Mabus]

35. He has been a critic but there's something about him

I've read his articles and often times agree with what he says but there are times I wonder about him. I have a hard time trusting anyone who is associated with Fox News.

Anyway here's some information about Corn from sourcewatch:

David Corn is the Washington editor of The Nation magazine and writes a column for its website Capital Games. He is also a contributor to Fox News Channel. A biographical note states:

"He writes on a host of subjects, including politics, the White House, Congress, and the national security establishment." <1> (http://www.bushlies.com/author.php)

And that:

"He has spent years analyzing the policies and pursuing the lies that spew out of the nation's capital. He is a novelist, biographer, and television and radio commentator who is able to both decipher and scrutinize Washington." <2>

Specific criticism

Corn's articles have provoked criticism from some. The specific criticisms relate to:

* Corn's criticisms <3> (http://www.thenation.com/capitalgames/index.mhtml?bid=3&pid=2037) of Greg Palast's articles on the Ohio vote count in the 2004 Presidential election provoked a dismissive response from Palast.<4> (http://www.gregpalast.com/detail.cfm?artid=402&row=0);

* Corn's dismissal of the hypothesis that there was prior warning of the September 11 attacks <5> (http://www.thenation.com/capitalgames/index.mhtml?bid=3&pid=66)<6> (http://www.alternet.org/story/12536)

* Corn's dismissal of Forbidden Truth, a book written by two French journalists and published in the U.S. by the Nation Institute.<7> (http://www.villagevoice.com/news/0230,cotts,36763,6.html)

* Corn's scepticism of the work of journalist Gary Webb on cocaine and the CIA <8> (http://www.thenation.com/capitalgames/index.mhtml?bid=3&pid=2066)<9> (http://www.thenation.com/capitalgames/index.mhtml?bid=3&pid=2066)


In response to Corn's articles on these issues one critic wrote that Corn "has frequently served as a Neo-Con-lite version of someone who dismisses those who have investigated the crimes of the U.S. government".<10> (http://www.fromthewilderness.com/free/ww3/012505_mole_movement.shtml)

48. David Corn has drunk the DLC kool-aid. He's one of "them"

and I don't appreciate anything about him. He'll spew a good liberal line occasionally, and then turn right around and side with the bad guys.

He should be ridden out of town on a rail.

:kick:

[Mabus]

56. That clears it up

I knew there was something about him that I didn't like. Like I told my husband, anyone that puts that they are a faux news analyst on their resume shouldn't be trusted.

btw, your sig line summed it up nicely.

[shaniqua6392]

4. Is that really him?

BTW I loved the shirt that guy was wearing! Too funny.

[King Coal]

9. What did it say?

[Lochloosa]

12. "Enforce the law. Arrest Bush"

[Lochloosa]

10. I think it is...hard to tell, he has his clothes on.

[alittlelark]

6. OMG It certainly looks like him!

He is rather distinctive looking.

What is he doing there?

[iconoclastNYC]

7. He needs to keep a high profile lest he be suicided n/t

[Tamarin]

14. Same haughty demeanor, sure looks like him.

[Lochloosa]

15. Reference Picture...

[MADem]

36. Old photo, he is a chunkier monkey nowadays.....

[kitkat65]

17. No. Bald guy is sitting in the row in front of t-shirt guy.

At one point you can see Bald's dark suit overlap T-shirt's t-shirt- impossible unless Bald is sitting on T-shirt's knee. T-shirt is sitting next to the dark skinned man with a mustache - which is where you think Bald is.

[roseBudd]

18. That was Gannon I saw everyone of his naked manwhore pics

[FreedomAngel82]

22. Ew!

[roseBudd]

25. he's a freak he took pics of himself pissing

[Kurovski]

26. Was an underaged girl involved?

No wait, that was someone else.

[AuntiBush]

23. I offer my Sympathies

:puke:

[FreedomAngel82]

19. That's him!!

What in the world is he doing there?

[Kurovski]

24. He's being kept on the payroll so as to afford

chocolates, massage oil, and a really nice Valentine's gift for George.

Gotta keep President Crackpot happy with a l'il brokeback action.

Jaysus knows how much worse he'd be without those intimate little bike rides with Jeff.

27. It's the Po-Jama People, people!

"Po-Jama People"
by Frank Zappa (from One Size Fits All, 1975)

Some people's hot
Some people's cold
Some people's not very
Swift to behold
Some people do it
Some see right through it
Some wear pajamas
If only they knew it

The po-jama people are boring me to pieces
They make me feel like I am wasting my time
They all got flannel up 'n' down em
A little trap-door back aroun' em
An some cozy little footies on their mind

Po-jama people!
Po-jama people, people!
Lord, they make you sleepy
With the things they might say
Po-jama people!
Po-jama people, people!
Mother, Mary and Joseph, wish they'd all go away!

Po-jama people!
Its a po-jama people special...
Take one home with you & save a dollar today
Po-jama people!
Po-jama people, people!
Wrap 'em up
Roll 'em out
Get 'em out of my way

[FreedomAngel82]

28. Is there a way to find out

from any roll book who all was there in the press? I wonder what name he's using now.

[mikelgb]

29. looks LIKE him, but...

I'm not too sure it IS him... anybody got higher quality video?

[Maru Kitteh]

54. Somebody could post a screen capture. I'm sure it's him.

[Maddy McCall]

31. Kick

[New Earth]

32. ha, i definately have to watch this later...

[Catherine Vincent]

38. doesn't look like him to me

[Celebration]

39. top of the ear

On this one and Gannon picture are both very flat. I was comparing left ear to right ear though. I actually stopped Windows Media and compared what I thought was a sort of distinguishing characteristic. This isn't definitive though. I can't believe I actually took the time to do that. I tried to get a screen shot of the Windows media and whoops wasn't able to. It turned out entirely black when I tried to save.

[New Earth]

40. it was definately him.

[blogslut]

41. :(

Can't view it. Even downloaded and installed the newest Windows Media player. Still no play. Tried another all-in-one player. No luck.

[iamthebandfanman]

42. yup

i think so too.

[blogslut]

43. I finally got it to load

Sorry folks. Whoever this guy is, it's not James Guckert



*edit* to add screen grab

[Kurovski]

45. No, he isn't, is he? Even looks younger than Dubya's

personal ho-bag.

[Lochloosa]

46. I disagree...

[blogslut]

47. disagree all you want

they're not the same men

[RebelOne]

50. Well, if it's not him, then it's his twin.

[blogslut]

51. it's the bald head

I may not know much, but I know that's not James Guckert. Jimmy/Jeff has one of those pointy-mouse faces. That other dude has a wider, more open face. Besides, why would Jimmy/Jeff be sitting next to a protestor?

PS: Guckert's not Gosch either.

[Lochloosa]

52. He is not sitting next to the protestor. He is one seat in front of him.

And how would he know the protestor would be wearing the t-shirt?

[blogslut]

55. They are sitting

in the same row. The protestor is shoving his back against the chair and the bald guy is kind of short. Examine the sweeping pan shot in the video, as the dudes take the other protestor out. You can see t-shirt guy and bald guy, sitting together, in the same row.

[goodboy]

44. He was also at the HML vote the other day...(nt)

[0007]

49. That's him!

Accordingly Jeff had a good day. A chat with Durbin and photoed here.
