I happened to catch this little gem by accident and missed the very beginning of it, but this is rich. Here are Mr. Gannon/Guckert's own words from the video when asked about the male escort scandal:
Well, there's not much to say about that. You know it, after two and a half years, there's nothing to it. I mean there's a lot of, of rumor and Internet gossip and you know "responsible journalists" payed some attention to that in the beginning and afterwards they decided there's nothing there. So.
So what Mr. Gannon? So those screen shots of your web site before they took it down were Photoshopped or you really didn't go into the White House how many hundreds of times without signing out so anyone would know when you left, and you really weren't a gay hooker asking softball questions to Scotty-boy? He's going on a tour of college campuses to promote the book. Oh joy! We can only hope he gets treated as warmly as Gonzo.
Logan: Here's a fun blast from the past via the C&L archives -- media coverage of the Gannon/White House/Gay Hooker scandal as it unfolded.

do the college kids get to take pics of his manhood!
Why is c-span (booktv) giving that bitch any attention?
yeah but what GOP male politicians has he been screwing?
will jeff leave his well ridden anus to science for further study into the republican mystique?
LOL, wonder what the white house thinks of his book? I bet they are thrilled for this subject to be brought up again. Larry Craig has just about an army of guys saying they had sex with him and then as that builds, up pops Jeff again.
Having listened to Gannon speak a couple times, he needs some serious media training. His voice and speech patterns are simply awful. He presents his ideas in an incoherent manner. His defense of his past activities is ridiculously transparent.
Maybe Scotty likes 'em big and dumb and ......... well, you know.
I agree with him! He's the PERFECT exemplor of the modern conservative movement. Just like Bill O'Reilly, Matt Drudge, Sean Hannity, and Rush Limbaugh...put all of these guys FRONT AND CENTER as the face of Conservatism! Invite them on every talk show to represent the Conservative philosophy.
any truth to the rumor that he was Bush's bum boy ?
pimping instead of being pimped? should be a nice change for the whitehouse softballer....although Rove must be missing him terribly.
pissed off patricia @ 5:
Has anyone checked to see if Gannon and Craig did any "interviews"?
Jesus' General has something about another escort tied to the resignation of Trent Lott. Is there a straight GOP in the universe?
Maybe Gannon is secretly one of the eight men who have come forward saying they had sex with Larry Craig.
Just heard Trent Lott reisigned today, another gay sex scandal.
Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.
The stuff just describe sounds like internet tin-foil hattery; I mean come on, a gay hooker with special access to the White House? But it's true, and we have the video of him asking Scotty-boy those softball questions.
I wonder: Did Gannon work alone to get all that access and cover it up, or did he have help from co-conspirators in the White House?
you want the truth, you can't handle the truth.
Here 'tis in a nutshell, no pun intended. with all the fodder there for a major scandal that would have driven all of the scoundrels out of the white house, no one in the news corps had the cajones to pursue what was there. What was it, Gannon was given white house access appx. 400 times after hours to the white house. correct me if i'm wrong there, but i'm going strictly on memory. and he had no "real" credentials to grant him access or to validate his standing a member of the white house press corps. Why wasn't this looked into in detail. Hell, even middle wheatland America would not have stood for that, had it been spelled out for them in terminology that could be understood across the heartland.
Ricky Bones @ 12:
maybe even Larry King from the Frankling cover up fame.
Who the hell arranged for this guy to get a press pass and entrance into the White House. Karl Rove? Scooter Libby? Bush Jr.?
The Discovery Channel's Program on the Franklin Cover-Up scheduled to air in 1994:

Ugly Whore.
Gee...and I thought the Corporate Media LOVED Sex Scandals?? Yet they were dead silent.
The Gannon Sex Scandal had even more salacious details than Monica-gate. Yet for some unknown reason they pretended it didn't happen. Move along. Nothing to see here.
Corporate Media = Prostitutes
Jeff Gannon = Prostitute
Talk to any of your non-political friends and family and ask them their opinion of the Jeff Gannon male prostitute-fake reporter-White House sleepover scandal and you'll get blank stares.
Ask them their opinion of Monica Lewinsky and they can recite chapter and verse.
The corporate media creates reality in this country.
What a hack.
He doesn't even get it that he could write the biggest piece of shit book of the decade if he just confessed to everything he did for the White House. EVERYTHING.
Was it just Rove he serviced? Or was he a Bush-pounder too? Threesomes? Moresomes? Even without the sex stuff he was a memoir of a WH Whore in him, and he's too stupid to write it.
andy @ 8:
he has a purty mouth.
I have zero problem with his being a male escort and being in the press corp room. People have bills to pay one way or another but its the pure hypocrisy that makes me ravenous.
Nice body now I see why all the GOP Law Makers were after him. Larry Craig and the other GOP Law Makers in the Club knew how to pick their mates. Jeff should have been smart enough to charge enough money to retire as he had the old men all over him for at lease 6 years.
there you have it!it wasnt drugs or booze that destroyed bushes mental capacitys , jeff gannon fucked bushes brains out thru his ears, i suppose every one in the republican party has had this kind of brain dammage at one time or another! when will they ever learn?
I don't know about you guys, but it seems that this administration is choked full of gay peeps. Gannon, Foley, Mehlman, and Craig. And this from an party who claims to be the most straight and war loving tough guys. (Hmmm, that sounds gay, very gay indeed).
Don't forget, not only was he a fake 'journalist' he was a fake soldier as well.
Typical to the republican way he lied about being in the military. This guy is
such a complete farce he's probably forgotten who he 'really' is. A total living
lie.
Yeah, um....pardon me but..um...isn't his 'real' name actually James Guckert?
That watch on his wrist, is that the watch that was taken off GW's wrist in Bosnia?! Our president keeps booty souvenirs?! We may have proof that JG wasn't there to see Karl, but was there for "the big guy"!
What a SKANK!
Jim Gookert, aka "Jeff Gannon" is so stupid. To really make money he would be revealing all the secrets of the closeted gay white house.
Jeff's looking kinda chunky these days. Chunky monkey.
All I got to say is, Jeff Gannon can make any claims he wants but that shot of him in his tightie whities, marine corp buzzcut and dogtags says a lot to a certain segment of this nations male population... I ain't gay and even my gaydars going into overload.....
And the deeper questions it raises about the Bush administration in general is already being brought up here, and I suspect other venues as well.... And as at least one other poster pointed out, the depths of the Bush administrations depavity is not in the fact that it's apparently filled with closeted gays, along with the entire republican party.. Rather, it is the utter hypocrisy in which they operate and attempt to coorce the nation in general on any topic while their own private behavior is in diametric opposition to their pius public attitudes... JD
Wait a minute...there's nothing to it?
I saw this guy's erection plastered all over the web...a male "escort".
Nothing to see here??
Are you kidding, you dick-head?
Has the IRS investigated Gannon's tax returns, to see if he reported earnings from his sexual dalliances, which are illegal activities except in Nevada?
Or is there nothing to see on his tax returns, too?
If Jeff Gannon made a pornographic video version of his book, Whats your guess as to what the title would be???
Mine is "The Pleasure of the President...."
Where is the Main Stream Media that was so detailed in its Monica Lewinsky coverage? Where are the Politicians that stood by as Bill Clinton was impeached or voted for his impeachment? What is wrong with this country!
He says he's trademarked the phrase "divorced from reality." Isn't that the same as Fox supposedly trademarking fair and balanced?
Orangutan. @ 36:
i think its obvious , republicans are the party of oh my ass is still hurting from last night, so nobodys surprised they are all inlove with gay boys!

tyree @ 38:
Breaking news on MSNBC...8 men say they either had sex or were propositioned by Sen. Larry Craig. No wonder he had a wide stance.

Liberalism and its longstanding tradition of decency, diversity and tolerance. Represent, Preacher Boob.
The men's rooms during his college tour is going to look like happy hour.
[deleted post]
You mean like the reich-wing longstanding tradition of decency of pedophilia, closet homosexuals, gay prostitutes, and gay bathroom sex? Represent, princess.
The last time C+L did a story on Bulldog he came on this site and told us how "big" of a journalist he is. I laughed so hard I nearly cried. Where are you at today Bulldog? I need another good laugh.
The man looks like a penis! I'm wondering if he was ever in the service or if he was just playing dress up like our Commander in Codpiece.
Anyone tell me if it was a Dem administration, and the press passed up a story of a gay hooker with access(day and night) to the Whitehouse, i'd eat my freaking hat.
[deleted post]
Dennis - he's merely living up to the "Boob" portion of his moniker.
Truly qualified now, to work for FEMA!!!!
He'll always have the log cabin college reich-wingers available to attend his whinefest.
There were also rumors leaked by an anonymous SS guy who guards a door at the WH Gannon had several 'private meetings' with George and his bbf Tony Blair that were kept off the visitors log.
I guess when you mess around with a female intern, it can get you impeached, but it's alright if it's a male party-boy posing as a reporter.
hehehehe....George is pole-smoker. I bet Cheney swings that way also.
Simon White-Thatch Potentloins @ 41:
I put nothing past these guys, they would put a hit on him. he's been threatened and that's why he's not talking. he knows he can make mucho dinero singing.

I don't put you in his category, Doc. Sorry if it came across that way. Apparently for PB and Dr. Matt, those two words are perfectly fine in some cases.

As a reich-winger, you always believe you speak for others. We know it's part of your myopic and fragile fabric, princess. Have you got your pre-order in for your Jiffy Lube book yet, princess?
And fans of irony realize that THIS was the reason they were born.
In other news, NeoCon researches find that small successes CAN be the justification for being Douchebags the entire rest of the time.
We have 10,000+ people who die each year from traffic accidents alone. But hey, as long as we spend $2 Trillion on arresting two terrorists (under flimsy evidence) that's what is called "smart money" right?
Dana @ 27:
This was also an issue for "the other Jeff Gannon" Matt Sanchez (Rod Majors) -- a marine reservist who got an early discharge for medical reasons and never served in Iraq. But he never sets the record straight when people thank him for "fighting for our freedom." And he was investigated by the Corps over charges that he tried to bilk people out of thousands of dollars by lying about his service.
Whatever Gannon's sexual picadilloes (look it up) lets try not to lose sight of the fact that he was the Bush administration's first "plant" in the media to be 'outted'. So when your 26%er, Repug relatives wag a finger at you over the holiday about Hilary's "plantgate" or gay military personnel infilitrating Repuglican debates to ask perfectly relevant questions, you might want to bring up names like Gannon, Novak, Judith Miller, or even appointing a FOX News opinionist to be the White House Press Secretary. Shuts 'em up real quick.
The new job description at the white house:
You have to be gay in order to satisfy the old hags at the white house. LOL
Well ok, here's the rub.
How old is this story? I've never heard of it before and I'm into everything. The story is one thing but the coverup is even worse and then the follow-up to the story ....there is none.
The test for Americans now is, how does this guy and his book even get a start in going on the "book curcuit"? Who is left to buy this crap? What publisher would even invest in it?
Or is the answer..."don't worry, Americans are just stupid, gossip, sensationalistic addicts"?
Everyone, Please Research:
James Gannon aka Jeff Guckert is also supposedly Johnny Gosch, a young boy from Idaho who was abducted into a child-sex ring back in the early 1980's. This child-sex ring was run by the GOP's Larry King.....as another poster above mentioned, watch the video discussing the Franklin Credit Union Cover Up.
Is there anywhere to find his schedule? I'd love to see him in person, he is sooooo hunky and stupid like i like em
It would be pretty funny and ironic if a bunch of gay men are ruining our country all the while claiming to be against gay men. WTF? Unfortunately we all are paying the price for this ridiculous hypocracy. Geez.
Let us not forget the connection between Gannon and prominent Freeper, Raoul Deming at DC counter-protests.

Menig @ 61:
If this is true, then this would be one of the most damning pieces of evidence that the Republican Party is a group of morally bankrupt degenerates.
It would not surprise me that those folks engage in such behavior, as they show an extreme lack of caring about human suffering.
That woman should get samples of his DNA. Should be easy enough.
I can’t bring a bottle of water I didn’t buy in the terminal, on a plane…
Yet… Plame’s name was leaked purposely by more than one person, nukes were “mistakenly” flown from the Dakotas to Barksdale AFB in Louisiana, and a “gay hooker” [By the way, the DOD justify anti-gay policy because they see gay as a security risk. Someone could use the info to blackmail the soldier.] is allowed access not just to any white house, but THE White House, in and out, like, how many times?
Security breaches galore… wtf?
Yet I, WE are the security risk if we bring a bottle of WATER we didn’t buy in the terminal, on a plane… You think something MIGHT be wrong here?
Problem is certainly larger than Jeffy boy...
He is a top!!
Who is/are the bottom(s) then??
FunMe @ 31:
Could the real question be how much did he make not telling the secrets of the White House and who paid him?
Jeff is one of my favorite douche bags of all time. He told me to stop lying about him on my blog and actually had the temerity to say that his questions during White House Press Briefings were "critical of the White House". Not to be outdone, Rove blamed the Congress for the Iraq war. Just let me know when the white rabbit is going to pop up and deliver us from Wonderland ...
www.citizenboo.com
as another poster suggested, i did a google search on jeff gannon aka james gookert. there's so much there, why didn't the democratic party take up the gauntlet and run with it. this would absolutely have been the nail in the coffin. Did they do anything with it, or was it too "not on the table."
Oliver Stone, where are you when we need you?
Gannon never saw battle when he was in the service.
He was in the rear with the gear.

Speaking of Jeff Gannon, check this out and tell me if this isn’t perfect…
Remember when Jeff Gannon was in the Whitehouse press pool?
And remember when the Bush Administration was caught secretly paying Armstrong Williams a quarter of a million taxdollars to say nice, happy things about them on his radio show?
Then President Bush held a press conference and disavowed any knowledge of the Armstrong Williams covert propaganda operation and assured America that he “will not be paying commentators to advance our agenda,” and insisted that his “agenda ought to be able to stand on its own two feet.”
Then, for his very next question, President Bush boldly called on Jeff Gannon to ask him why the Democrats have “divorced themselves from reality.”
What are the odds?
Here’s a transcript of that portion:

--------
[...]
THE PRESIDENT: Let's see. Hold on for a second. Mark. The person who doesn't yell will be called on.
Q: [Mark Knoller, CBS News]: Mr. President, do you think it's a proper use of government funds to pay commentators to promote your policies?
THE PRESIDENT: No.
Q Are you going to order that --
THE PRESIDENT: Therefore, I will not pay you to -- (laughter.)
Q Fair enough. Are you ordering that there be an end to that practice?
THE PRESIDENT: Yes, I am. I expect my Cabinet Secretaries to make sure that that practice doesn't go forward. There needs to be independence. And Mr. Armstrong Williams admitted he made a mistake. And we didn't know about this in the White House, and there needs to be a nice, independent relationship between the White House and the press, the administration and the press. So, no, we shouldn't be going for it.
Yes, sir.
Q Well, Mr. Williams made a mistake --
THE PRESIDENT: Who?
Q Mr. Williams made a mistake. Did the Department of Education make a mistake?
THE PRESIDENT: Yes. They did.
Q What will happen to the people that made this decision?
THE PRESIDENT: We've got new leadership going to the Department of Education. But all our Cabinet Secretaries must realize that we will not be paying commentators to advance our agenda. Our agenda ought to be able to stand on its own two feet. I'm confident you'll be, over the course of the next four years, willing to give our different policies an objective look -- won't you? Yes, I can see that.
Yes, sir.
Q: [Jeff Gannon, MilitaryEscortsM4M.com.lol]: Thank you. Senate Democratic leaders have painted a very bleak picture of the U.S. economy. Harry Reid was talking about soup lines, and Hillary Clinton was talking about the economy being on the verge of collapse. Yet, in the same breath, they say that Social Security is rock-solid and there's no crisis there. How are you going to work -- you said you're going to reach out to these people -- how are you going to work with people who seem to have divorced themselves from reality?
[...]

Wasn’t that ironic, in retrospect?
Wow! Just heard RANDI RHODES speak in Michigan. Give her WE BELIEVE speech a whirl. http://www.therandirhodesshow.com/live/ Explains the patriotic duty to IMPEACH.
Always a treat seeing Gannon and Matt Sanchez suck up to people that don't want them to have any marriage or parenting rights
As a gay man, I've had occasion to meet several gay or gay-for-pay "escorts" (prostitutes) in my time, and I have to say that it's rare to find one of them that does not have right-wing leanings, especially those who are bodybuilders. Just like Republicans and Libertarians, to them everything boils down to money and projecting an alpha-male image.
ThanX for the memories, Logan!
You've got this all wrong. Gannon wasn't going to the White House for press conferences alone. That was just a cover-up. He was there because the administration needed some favors from one of their puppies, Sen. Lairy Crag. So they led Crag in through the back door (the way Crag likes it) and put him in the same little room where Monica played around with Bill's cigar and got that stain on her dress. Then they brought Gannon in through the front and took him to the little room where they enjoyed some wide stance positioning. Then, when the press conferences started, they took Gannon into the press room. Note that he wasn't seated on the front row, though. That was reserved for special people like Helen Thomas.
jr @ 76:
What's even more entertaining is the meltdown Sanchez is having on the talk pages of Wikipedia. He wants to remind people that his gay porn videos won numerous awards. And he's spent the past several days vanity surfing gay porn sites to find a complete list. He can't even enjoy TNR's semi-retraction of the Beauchamp diaries until everyone knows his video Jawbreaker won a "Probie Award."
Talk:Matt_Sanchez#Adult_Film_Career_Revision_Proposal
That sound you hear is the radical rightwing blogosphere scraping the bottom of the barrel by embracing flakey ex-gay hookers like Gannon and Sanchez.
