[seemslikeadream]

August 13, 2007
WASHINGTON: Karl Rove, long-time advisor to President Bush, announced his resignation today amidst rumors that a new book by a male homosexual prostitute would finger Rove as secretly gay.
Jim Gannon, former reporter for Talon News and rent boy, is publishing a "tell all" book in September tentatively titled "Behind Enemy Lines". Karl Rove apparently fears being exposed as a former customer of Gannon's or his military pron websites like www.hotmilitarystud.com DON'T GO HERE! SAYS SLAD

It has long been rumored that Jim Gannon gained White House briefing room credentials and day passes by offering his services to Karl Rove, including several overnight stays in the White House Buchanan bedroom.

[hang a left]

1. Salacious! nt

[seemslikeadream]

2. FUN STUFF!

:hi:

[Buzz Clik]

3. Sounds like something you'd read on the front page of a supermarket tabloid.

[seemslikeadream]

11. Yes but when did a supermarket tabloid have a reporter at the Whtie House press conferences

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

15. And have a reporter that made visits to the WH when there weren't press conferences

and left at night!

[KAT119]

87. 'The Advocate' refers to Rove as "Miss Piggy"=VERY gay....Karl refused to

be seen in public w/ his stepfather....

[Warpy]

14. Supermarket tabloids generally get the names right, at least.

Just sayin'.

I'm taking this one with a pound of salt. Gannon/Guckert has given every indication of being a GOP true believer. Any book he writes will out Democrats, not GOPs.

[Buzz Clik]

29. They may have the name right in this instance, too.

We do love our bogeymen.

[Coexist]

4. umm... isn't Talon News Guckert's fake news organization

that got him his pass in the first place?

[CitizenLeft]

13. I think you're right

Guess he's drumming up sales for his book.

[tom_paine]

16. Yep. Talon is BushiePravda.

[hootinholler]

59. Wasn't owned by Gannon/Guckert, but it was a RW front. n/t

[flyarm]

61. ACTUALLY TALON NEWS DID NOT EXIST FOR THE FIRST 2 MONTHS GANNON WAS IN THE WH BRIEFING ROOM

TALON NEWS WAS NOT RESPONSOBLE FOR GANNON TO GET PRESS PASSES THE FIRST 2 MONTHS GANNON SAT AMONG THE NATIONAL REPORTERS..

talon news..which was a blog..was only started as a cover ..2 months ..after gannon showed up daily at the press briefing room..then it became a front for him..but he had no front when he first showed up at the white house..and he worked for no media when he got a media pass into the white house...

so much for homeland security ..post 9/11..wouldn't you say???????

fly


oh and p.s. can you imagine the national media being silent about this for 2 years...with a dem president???????

[seemslikeadream]

62. No one could have EVER imagined

:hi:

[Coexist]

65. I don't recall if I ever imagined it.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

5. ::::jumping up and down:::::

:bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

:rofl:

[Philosoraptor]

6. Sordid! Scintillating! Scandalous!

[rurallib]

7. Be looking for Gannon's obituary soon

Suicide no doubt, with bullets in the back of the head.

[Botany]

20. Egg zack lee

No way will Jeffy get to talk

[Hepburn]

46. Because he needed to spend more time with his family...

...just sayin'!

[Danascot]

78. Yup, he wants to spend more time

with his ancestors.

[shadowknows69]

8. I think for us at DU

this is a DUH.

[underpants]

9. First impressions

the first time I saw Rove and Karen Hughes I thought "Well isn't THAT ironic"

I'm just saying.

BTW- I have a video of Gannon in the video forum. He doesn't have a publisher so this could just be letting out the bait line. Again-just saying.

[loudsue]

49. What do you mean about Karen Hughes?

What was ironic? :shrug: I don't get how she plays into this.

:kick:

[varun]

60. Fine tune your gaydar...

Karen does get my gaydar (or lesbian-dar) going too...

[Bluebear]

76. Are you gay?

[tavalon]

83. Karen is no more interested in what Karl has between his legs

Than Karl is in what's hiding under Karen's skirt. Yet another not secret.

[yardwork]

69. Bush surrounds himself with "single" people because he's assured of their loyalty.

Some of them are married - Rove, for instance - but never seem to spend any time with their spouses or families. Many of them - Kindasleezy Rice, for instance - are not married. Many of them are rumored to be gay.

It would be quite useful (speaking theoretically of course /sarcasm) for a narcissistic control freak to surround himself with closeted gay people. Even if they have "beard" marriages, they'll still spend the majority of their time and energy on the narcissistic control freak. They're closeted, so they can't form healthy, committed, openly loving relationships. No soulmates in their lives. No pillowtalk. Nobody saying, "Honey, I think that the president is just a jerk. Quit your job and let's get out of this terrible place!" Just their loyalty to Bush.

Hitler did the same thing.

[underpants]

70. That is actually one of my own conspiracy theories. One that I believe

Okay I mean it half in a joking way but ...

CONSPIRACY THEORIES
They all drink HEAVILY to forget that they are homosexuals. Seriously I mean this-they drink so much that they completely forget what they said the day before and the week before is out of the question. They all just act like it didn't happen and no one calls them on it.

That is by far the most likely explanation for their behavior.

About the gay thing-I don't mean that in an accusatory way I really do think that what became the elite of the elite in the think tanks recruited gays at Harvard (mostly) and Yale-some other Ivy League type schools- back in the late 60's and early 70's. These were social darwinists who held tightly the belief that these were clearly superiorly bred gene pools that had distinguished themselves from the pack of immigrants of the early part of the century. They needed capable bodies and the fact that these men were gay meant that they would forever be loyal as their ultimate fear of being outed could be held over their heads. The rest, as they say, is just wearing a suit and hanging the diploma.

Cheney
Bolton
Roberts
Alito
Norquist
Drier (not Harvard)
etc.


This is my one and only conspiracy theory...that and the one about how they killed Pat Tillman before he could get back to the States and hand Kerry an unfixable landslide.

[Cooley Hurd]

72. I haven't seen the angry skivvies in a LONG time, UP...

:hi:

[underpants]

74. :-)

This conspiracy theory is from my "DU stuff" file and the skivvies are right underneath it so I post that too.

:bounce:

[yardwork]

73. There are a number of books about the CIA infiltrating the Ivies and major foundations

I haven't read them, but I know that the CIA and other arms of the government keep a very close eye on institutions of higher education.

As a lesbian, I can say that the only way to live gay in this country and keep one's soul is to be out. Closeted gays must lead a very lonely existence.

I completely agree with you about the alcoholism pervasive in this administration. Bush himself looks like he's suffering from end-stage liver failure and the people around him look and act like drunks in my expert opinion.

It's beyond sad that the corporate-run media hides all this, covers it up, lies about facts.

[underpants]

75. The CIA was founded at Yale

Skull and Bones and all that.

"The Good Shepherd" is based somewhat on those early days and up to the Bay of Pigs--good movie.

The warrantless wiretapping is a prime example of my theory. The story came out in a NYT article the same day as a Rose garden press conference-Bush was asked about it and he admitted to it right there. I can just imagine the shock on all the innercircle's faces HE ACTUALLY FESSED UP then they went into absurd defense mode.

[drm604]

10. Interesting that Talon News would be reporting this.

Aren't they the publication Gannon/Guckert was representing at all of those press conferences?

[madrchsod]

21. no...that site went down long ago

this site was registered in april of this year and expires in march of 2009...

[drm604]

44. Hard to know what to make of the current site.

It's using anonymous whois info.

It claims to be published by "Talbot Eberle" rather than Robert Eberle (the former publisher).

http://www.talonnews.com/news/about.shtml

Googling "Talbot Eberle" returns nothing and "Talbot" does sound phony. It still links to GOPUSA, and it also links to Mens News Daily another right-wing site.

I think I'm going to have to take anything they say with a rather large grain of salt.

[blogslut]

45. Please read my posts in this thread

:)

[Subdivisions]

52. That's one of the crappiest, amateurish sites I've ever laid my

eyes on. I could build a better website with my hands tied behind my back and blindfolded.

No, really. I could!

[blogslut]

50. Please read my posts in this thread

That site is not Bobby Eberle's old Talon News

[Flubadubya]

12. Mr. Gannon (be it Jim or Jeff) had better be careful...

Hot meat can be Dead meat in a matter of moments... :eyes:

Karl Rove's Gay Dad Made His Son Fall in Love With Jeff Gannon
Former manwhore turned journalist turned blogger Jeff Gannon’s sketchy old employers claim that Jeff Gannon will claim that Karl Rove is a gay homosexual who has sex with other gay homosexual men, just like his adoptive father, whose penis you can see on the internet if you’re into that sort of thing.

“Talon News” is still plugging away at the whole “making shit up on the nternet” thing, and their unbylined, three paragraph story on the Rove rumor is a marvel of confusing, unsourced speculation. Also, they use the term “pron.” We’re not sure if they’re being 1337 or if that’s a typo. But apparently Karl and Jeff Gannon fucked in the Buchanan room! What we don’t get is why Karl would have a sleepover with a male whore at the White House, but hey, now that we’ve seen his dad’s cock ring we’ll believe anything.

[Cassandra]

43. "a gay homosexual"

as opposed to.....?

[seemslikeadream]

47. A MAD ONE!

[goclark]

54. Coffee on keyboard nt

[Hepburn]

48. Ummmmmmmm.....

...a straight or bi homosexual??? :shrug:

[treestar]

63. US Americans

that Miss South Carolina referred to!

[JenniferJuniper]

66. Actually, Gannon does claim to have a book

due out in shortly. From his site, (which I refuse to link)

"BOOK PLUG: I worked 'behind enemy lines' in the liberal White House press corps for two years. In my book due out in September I 'name names' of the political operatives among my former colleagues who pose as objective journalists."

Now, if I were a cynic, I'd guess that JimmyJeff was behind the fake story at the new "Talon News" just to drum up conversation about his pathetic book on threads like this. If so, score one for the Hot Military Stud!

[mzmolly]

77. Well, I hope they'll drop this on the MSM in the end of October 2008.

:hi:

[madrchsod]

18. talon news......

the head writer and publisher have no google entries. the site was "reborn" in june of this year. interesting is`t it?

[blogslut]

19. This is not the Talon News once run by Bobby Eberle

This site is owne by some guy in Poland by the name of Mariusz Zebrowski. I don't know if the site is supposed to be satire or just a rumormill, but it is definitely NOT Gannon's former employer. Eberle let that domain go in 2006.

[seemslikeadream]

22. About us page says

25. Wouldn't Talbot Eberle be upset by that?

just asking

[blogslut]

28. Who the hell is Talbot Eberle?

Is he some relation of Bobby's that I don't know about? Hell, Bobby Eberle won't even admit publicly whether or not he's related to Bruce Eberle.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

34. Did a search on Talbot Eberle, nada. Maybe they got the name from Larry Talbot,

the Wolfman?

:rofl:

[Oilwellian]

30. James N. Neener?

:rofl:

[enid602]

58. "HEAD WRITER: James N. Neener"

As in 'neener, neener, neener?'

[eridani]

81. Neener! Neener! Neener! n/t

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

26. According to Wikipedia the site was resurrected in June 2007 and that current ownership

is not specified at the site.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talon_news

[blogslut]

31. Here's the skinny

From what I can see, Eberle let the domain lease lapse and this Polish guy snapped it up. If you want to see Bobby Eberle's real, resurrected Talon News, go to http://gopusa.com. You'll see Bobby's smiling face in the upper right hand corner.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

35. And the funny thing, this new Talon site links there! Also if you look at their

recent articles, they have articles that don't necessarily mock but make a point.

37. I saw that

Note that they can't spell Washington. Also note the plethora of COMING SOON text on all the other tabbed pages. Somebody in Poland is having a grand old time and frankly, I wouldn't advise anyone visiting this site because there's a lotta scamming and hacking emanating out of Poland.

[annabanana]

24. Note: this is a lame attempt at "viral marketing"

There is no "there" there..

[seemslikeadream]

27. what is being marketed?

[blogslut]

33. He's probably culling email addresses

Also, hotmilitarystud.com belongs to someone else now too. It's a a real porn site and not that lame excuse for one that old Jeffy built.

[Sanctified]

32. Website looks fake to me. n/t

[seemslikeadream]

36. Thanks to everyone for politely answering my questions about this

:hi:


Please just consider this my contribution to the sex thread crazy here lately

[blogslut]

40. It's cool

They tried really hard to make it look like the old Talon site. I am sorry if I was curt but this is a subject that I have a special interest in. :hi:

[peekaloo]

38. "Through the White House Back Door(s)" would be a better title.

just sayin'.

[The Backlash Cometh]

39. One is beginning to wonder if the Republican party would have ever

managed to reach its level of success without the assistance of gay men. From the man who bashed Anita Hill, to Karl Rove. So many hidden agendas.

[warrior1]

41. wrong thread

[wordpix]

42. OMG! Hot stuff! Can't wait to hear about kkKarl's festishes---dressing up in Nazi uniforms, maybe?

[begin_within]

53. Well, it does say, "a male homosexual prostitute would finger Rove"

[seemslikeadream]

56. ewwwwwwwww stop that!

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

51. The original Talon site folded faster than Superman on laundry day after Gannon was exposed as fake.

Fun thread, though! :hi:

[seemslikeadream]

55. OBEY

:hi:

[alfredo]

57. I will believe it when I see it. I'm just glad he is gone. If his

career is ended and he is no longer a useful tool for the junta, then I would be thrilled.

[JenniferJuniper]

64. Rove is infatuated with Bush

Always has been. Whether this stuff about the book or not is true, one can't say. But I'd be surprised to find out Rove ISN'T gay.

Gannon has been making vague threats that he would do something like this for some time now, so I'd say he's worth keeping an eye or two on. But then again, he's dumber than a sack of rocks and appears to be suffering from some sort of mental disorder, so he'd probably be fairly easy for the Bushies to "contain".

[lovuian]

67. Gay one of Bush's buddies and Foley gay watch Lumbaugh

it really makes sense

Get A good look Christian Right this is the guy who used you

[girl gone mad]

68. Bush is the one with the bald head fetish.

Just saying..

[snot]

71. Could Rove be pulling a Ratherize?

Poland has been the location for a lot of dark ops in recent years. Maybe Rove is genuinely worried about what might be in Gannon's book and has arranged for overstatements to be touted in advance by sources that can be discredited, thus casting doubt on the whole story even if much of it's true.

[highnooner]

79. Remember Fitzmas? Don't get too excited.

[uppityperson]

80. Jimmy/Jeff resurfaces!

[tavalon]

82. Worst kept secret ever

I don't really see why this would be a bombshell?

Karl Rove is also the Devil Incarnate but I guess that's no big deal unless Lucifer Gannon chooses to do a tell all book.

[progressoid]

84. Well, this should be fun.

[lovuian]

85. Hey did any of this make major media???

if it would have been a dem it would be everywhere

[badgerpup]

86. Umm...and if it turns out that Karl Rove is gay, what then?

It doesn't change anything he's done...doesn't make him any better or worse.
Adding "He's a goddamn hypocrite!" to his resume? Geez, people, what do you expect?!
He's a high-ranking republican in Bush's reign misadministration! :eyes:

Being a hypocrite goes with the territory.
