Jeff Gannon: Scotty, You've Changed...
Just for the schadenfreude-liciousness of it all...
Add me to the growing list of those who are having great difficulty understanding McClellan's motives. I spent two years as a White House reporter, much of it during McClellan's reign. At no time did Scott ever indicate, either publicly or privately, he had the misgivings he expressed in this book.
What I hear about the book does not sound like the Scott McClellan I knew for two years. I can say without fear of contradiction, that I knew Scott better than any other White House correspondent or Washington reporter.
In my book, "The Great Media War: A Battlefield Report" I discussed McClellan's handling of the White House press operation. At every turn, I gave Scott the benefit of the doubt for the devastating communication failures that plagued the Bush administration. It now appears that Scott did not deserve such allowances. By his own admission, McClellan either perpetrated a fraud behind the podium or has done so with this book. Whichever the case, Scott McClellan's credibility is zero.
If anyone knows about having zero credibility, it's Jeff Gannon.
Meanwhile, Bush's eCampaign Re-election Director: "McClellan savaged for saying what everyone knows to be true"
I think Gannon is threatening Scott with outing here. Goes hand in hand with the quote from Fox news this morning:
CARLSON: Scott McClellan better not have any skeletons in his closet. I hope he didn’t do anything that he doesn’t want the world to know about because we all have, and all of his secrets are going to be coming out.
wow that is so nasty...
maybe they had a little you know...touching...probing
The response from the Bush administration and its amen corner to the blistering charges in former press secretary Scott McClellan's new book has been quick, brutal and predictable. Of course, it wasn't always this way. Once upon time, Scott McClellan was the perfect mouthpiece for the Bush administration and its right-wing allies.
Here, then is:
"A Look Back at Scott McClellan's Greatest Hits."
I read this by Jeffy this morning.
My internal response was, So? Fuck you, Jeffy.
Live Frankly
Wow, the Bush Junta stays true to form until the bitter end; attack! attack! attack!
Wow.. the White House Press Secretary made no indications of his misgivings with the Bush Administration. You would almost swear he was tasked with responsibility of keeping the White House image clean, and presenting their view of the world in a positive light. You think he'd also resign or something..... oh yah, he did.
wow,, he was in the white house for 2 years! man this has been some dire times.
It's really PATHETIC. The more David Gregory (MSNBC) opens his mouth, the more he proves how complicit the media has been in deceiving Americans regarding the Iraq Invasion. Gregory's lead question today was 'Is it OK when a person betrays their boss (meaning Bush).....Where the right question would be 'Is it OK for Bush to BETRAY AMERICA !' Remember, General Electric owns MSNBC/NBC. G.E. also owns Raytheon, one of the largest defense contractors (makes bombs, missiles, tanks, etc.) that are in Iraq. DON'T BE FOOLED ANY LONGER AMERICA. The Bush Regime is sending out every spokesperson they have to try to discredit McClellan. Rove, Ari, Townsend....even the Sarah chick who lied to Congress for Gonzales. THIS IS 3RD WORLD STYLE. Google: PNAC....This whole war was planned in 1992 by the Neo-Cons. They wrote out the plan (to invade Iraq, Iran then Syria....in that order) then each of them signed the bottom. Signatures include Cheney, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, Libby, Card, Bolton and many others who ended up in the Bush cabinet. Truth is squeeking out.....finally. Wake up America !!!!!!! We have been totally bamboozled and mis-lead like lost, ignorant, blind sheep.
p.s. They (Bush & the Media) even had the nerve to be racheting up the speak to invade Iran. Maybe McClellan blew the whistle to block it. DON'T BELIEVE THE MEDIA....THEY ARE COMPLICIT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This also connects with the recent discovery that at least 6 of the so-called military experts who appeared regularly (over 4500 times) on CNN, Fox & MSNBC were paid by the Pentagon to lie to the American people re: Iraq.
Over 4000 brave men & women have DIED thanks to years of complicit lies !!!!
B4B
F*** both of them. McClellan: too little, too late. Gannon: too pathetic for words.
Guckert the male on male prostitute who went in and out of the White House at his own leisure, under an assumed name, sometimes staying overnight, is now scolding Scotty - - - the depths of Republican depravity know no bounds.
"I can say without fear of contradiction, that I knew Scott better than any other White House correspondent or Washington reporter."
Mmm...
"Knew Scott"...in the 'biblical' sense?
What I hear about the book does not sound like the Scott McClellan I knew for two years. I can say without fear of contradiction, that I knew Scott better than any other White House correspondent or Washington reporter.
Hmmm.....pillow talk? It had to be Scott or Karl. Or both?!
Do you think when Ganon was feeling up Scotty and he asked: "Do you like that?" - Scotty would say "I don't want to comment about an on-going investigation"
Bush to McClellan: REAM Me Up, Scotty
redsaunas @ 11:
I think he meant in the conspiring sense.
redsaunas @ 11:
Damn, you beat me to the punch!
Jeff Gannon: "Scotty, You’ve Changed…now I can't even get a reach around from you..."
Somehow, Gannon's photos of himself whoring out make him more honest than the entire stable of MSM whore-stars.
Whoa, now that the rats are fleeing the sinking ship, now is the time to put pressure on Jeff Gannon. He does know enough to sink the bush armada with one stroke so to speak. I think for the right amount or maybe a book deal, he would spill his guts over why he was given access to the white house at almost any time he deemed necessary or was summoned and was given white house press credentials. At the time no one in our vigilant press corps bothered to follow up and of course we know that the dems virtually just allowed it to pass. Now, if the dems are serious, they need not look any further than mr. gannon. he is a key and he should be sounded out lest he mysteriously disappear.
the spin doctors and Bush loyalists are out in full force, i thought people were supposed to be loyal to the country not the president ?.
I'm with me at #9 on that one...
Trippin' over each other as the building burns.
And now that Scottie is the media darling, it's liars interviewing liars. Gee, maybe Olbermann will call on Gannon as a special guest along with Scottie!
BWAAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
Even more precise Andy, loyalty to the Constitution.
That darned piece o' paper...
Asking if you can put it in does not qualify as a probing question!
Our population's intelligence is being insulted by the Main Stream Media and every Government official that isn't calling for the god damn impeachment of these assholes. Jeez.
Why are so many of these republicans gay. Who was giving Jeff Gannon access to the White House. Why does the Press jump on the Monica Lewinsky story, yet steer clear of the Jeff Gannon one?? Look up the truth. Don't fall for the lies. Research The Franklin Cover-Up. Don't give up.
"I can say without fear of contradiction, that I knew Scott better than any other White House correspondent or Washington reporter."
proof? pictures? motel bills?
Jeff - Gag on it!
"it doesn't sound like Scott"
yeah, but what do you have to say about WHAT he said?
"It doesn't sound like Scott"
yeah, he was such a tool before. I wonder what got into him?
redsaunas @ 11:
Thats exactly what I thought too!
Scooty! how good you!
8 inches cut.............
LOL
I have no doubt of that. Gannon knew McClellan intimately.
Hey GeeGee (Gannon/Guckert), honey lamb, sweetcheeks:
Whaaaat a pathetic little attack dog you be. Do as your masters command! Arf arf! Get the st(d)ick! Get the st(d)ick!
(ok, that was crass! but fun...)
Eight inches cut.........

"This is ... one of the great tragedies of the Bush administration," Gingrich continued. "The more successful they've been at intercepting and stopping bad guys, the less proof there is that we're in danger. And therefore, the better they've done at making sure there isn't an attack, the easier it is to say, 'Well, there never was going to be an attack anyway.' And it's almost like they should every once in a while have allowed an attack to get through just to remind us."
http://rawstory.com/news/2008/Gingrich_Bush_should_have_allowed_attack_0...
The phrase of the day:
1. He is not Scott that I knew........Rove
2. He is not Scott that I knew........K.Mehlman
3. He is not Scott that I knew Ari
4. He is not Scott that we knew D.Perino
5. And now J.Gannon:"Does not sound like Scott McClellan that I knew for two years"..
The same reason McClellan didn't stand up and speak truth to his boss at the time is precisely the same reason all these so-called journalists, pundits and talking asses don't stand up and speak truth to their corporate media bosses. It's nothing complicated, and not usually sinister. It's about taking home a paycheck. Most of us do it day in and day out ourselves. Certainly, the stakes aren't usually as high in our case when we kiss the ass and cover for the boss, but the process is much the same.
we may be doing bushco's job for them by fanning the "flames" so to speak
Randy @ 37:
operative word here is the biblical "know"
come on...who's gonna come out with the daisy chain story?
Randy @ 37:
Totally. Good call.
It's like the good old days! We haven't had a really good BLOODY OBVIOUS MEME FOR THE DAY, DUH IS ANYBODY IN THE MSM GOING TO POINT THIS OUT moment in quite awhile. Months, even!
Rico @ 38:
ya...but when i kiss ass to my boss, 100,000 people dont die
it isnt an excuse for them
bunch of fucking cowards and i hope they all rot in hell
This guy writes as though he really were a journalist. What fucking joke! And we should care about what Jeff Gannon says - uh, why exactly??
miss_kitty @ 17:
lol...i laugh-snorted when i read this.
Rico @ 38:
and let me add this
i did have a job once, as a foster care social worker, where the lives of children were in my hands...and when i discovered that my employers were skirting the law and placing children in danger....i blew the whistle....and then got fired
i am not a hero...i just did the right thing
they didnt
I'll add you Jeff,to the growing list of hand jobs parroting exactly the same things over and over.
1.He never once expressed any concerns or misgivings about the Bush administration.
2.This isn't the Scott that I knew and remember.
3.He's still a friend but I'm concerned about his motives.
38 Rico--Amen!! And many so-called journalists are still doing it--selling out for their jobs = money.
The I have now at 71 "is not the body I knew" at 40 either.
Things change .......... A LOT !!!
Jeff comes out with this 24 hours after someone else says it.
Jeff, please stop copying other people's work.
abarts @ 12:
Aaaaaaaaaaaggggggghh! Must find something sharp to poke out my inner eye! Damn you, abarts!!! ;-)
"By his own admission, McClellan either perpetrated a fraud behind the podium or has done so with this book."
Did Mr. Gannon/ Guckert ever stop to consider that perhaps McClellan perpetuated fraud BOTH behind the podium and in his book?
Frankly, this is another case of the pot calling the kettle black. McClellan write a book and tries to vindicate himself from this administration. And now, those who helped him perpetuate his lies also attempt to vindicate themselves-- such as claiming this isn't they McClellan they knew based on some exaggerated friendship.
♠Bangkok-Bob♠ @ 48:
Thought I better add the word I left out.
Ah oh Scotty,
You've been a bad...bad...boy.
Repoter?! Who does he think he's kidding? It's more like
Mr. Softball White House boy toy. Fuck you Jeff Googlyguck!
are there any straight repugs left? i the guy visited the wh over 100 times. i don't think he was there to talk foreign policy.
now would be a good time for rockefeller to release the unsanitized version of his follow up to to robb-silberman report.
A journalist? Not exactly. He went to a little weekend journalism school that was run by Richard Melon Scaife. Scott Baker, evening anchor at WTAE in Pittsburgh, was his instructor. After bragging on his blog that everything Jeff knew about journalism he taught him, Scott disappeared from his anchor job.
Everytime I see this ugly White House prostitute I want to take a shower.
And Michael Savage only just smeared McClellan on-air with "teh gay" smear last hour.
When did Scotty become so -- divorced from reality? Jeffy offered to pee on people for money maybe?
Are all man whores as obnoxious and narcissistic as this guy. I thought you paid whores to go away. Why won't this guy just go away??? Who cares what he has to say??? You don't pay whores to have opinions. You pay them to have sex and then to GO AWAY!!!!
Dude!!! Just go away!!!
foolme1ns @ 61:
One-stop shopping
Actually, the more publicity Guckert gets, the better.
His story pretty much sums up and confirms every allegation McClellan has made.
The more media attention it gets, the better.
(If it turns out Guckert was porking Bush, will impeachment still be 'off the table'?)
Yeah .. that's been the problem with the Bush administration all along .. the "devastating communication failures" .. uh huh
A bit OT, but I've wondered for a long time after a decade of Monica blow job jokes from the late night 'comedians', why were there never any jokes about Jeff Gannon and his 200+ visits to the White House, often when there was no press briefing scheduled. Were they ordered by their bosses not to do the jokes? Or perhaps, they were threatened by some third party. A gay, male prostitute gets a coveted daily press pass, gets called on by name by Bush & McClellan, yet no jokes. To boot, no 'journalist' questioned this 'reporter' within their ranks. Blinders aplently I'd say.
Jim Guckert says, "This is not the Scotty that gave me a golden shower as we read the Hardy Boys together."
It does say something about the Republicans that they imagine outing someone for being gay destroys that persons credibility. Unless, of course, you're a Republican senator.
Hahaha. I just got a visual of the GOP standard bearers trotting out GeeGee, a gay prostitute (redundant at this point), to defend the administration, trying to rally, hahaha, the rabid, family frickin' values...hahaha....conservative base....hahaha!...and reassure them of Chimpy's integrity....HOOOOHOHOHAHAHA.....
Oh please, PLEASE GOD let the GOP run with this fella. Let them put him in front of the cameras with a crawl underneath reading, "Former online boytoy-for-hire and sometime-WH PRess Corps reporter comes out in defense of Pres Bush".
GeeGee to CNN, FoxNEWS, MSNBC etc:
"Scotty, 'Too Hotty' I used to call him [wink], has been a bad, bad boy! VERY bad! [wink wink wink]"
HAW HAW!
HAW, I say!
(not that there's anything wrong with that)
Cry me a river, Jeff Gannon. I could care less about his protestations. It is about time someone said what was the most obvious thing related to the entire Iraq War/Sept. 11th news. It is amazing to me how blindly the press followed the government without even realizing that the Bush Administration participated in impeachable offenses. It is also rather appalling that they spent all day yesterday, trying to cover their behinds with the garbage that they were just "doing their job."
I would be the last to defend Scott because I think he's has duplicitous as the rest when participating in the abusive behavior of the Bush Administration. However, someone had said that when the books are written on Bush Co. start preparing for the deluge from the sewers to stink up the atmosphere.
"He called me buttercup"
McCain Gannon '08
What I hear about the book does not sound like the Scott McClellan I knew for two years. I can say without fear of contradiction, that I knew Scott better than any other White House correspondent or Washington reporter.
************************************************************
Good grief...why is anyone with two functioning brain cells to rub together still giving this man a platform, never mind giving him any credibility? Notice that Gannon/Guckert very carefully avoids making any mention of the reason why he's no longer a reporter at the White House. As I recall, his departure from the White House Press Corps was involuntary because it was revealed that he had no professional journalistic credentials of any kind apart from the dubious Talon News which would have legitimized his ability to gain access to the White House.
And while we're on the subject...am I the only one who thinks there may be something significant in Gannon's/Guckert's statement that he "knew Scott better than any other White House correspondent or Washington reporter". "Knew" in the Biblical sense of the word, perhaps? It would certainly help to explain how Gannon/Guckert managed to get access!
This Guckert character epitomizes our entire mainstream corporate media whoring itself out for the past 7 years.
Also, notice how he doesn't allow comments on his so-called 'blog'.
Man I thought this hooka left in disgraced. he's back and talking about using his mouth again.
rekroc @ 75:
Haha. His ONLY claim to any kind of legitimacy as part of the press: a mascot.
That's pretty good.

I can say without fear of contradiction, that I knew Scott better than any other White House correspondent or Washington reporter.
So if he spills, Scottie suffers, but what about a White House that was complicit in their liasons? Don't they risk collateral damage if the McClellan/Gannon story comes out?
A male prostitute/fake reporter says what?
Gannon can get married now in California. No thanks to the party he sells himself out for. No pun intended.
At least Mr. "Gannon" has found some work as a writer of dry satire. Hopefully it's enough to keep him from resorting to some kind of risque behavior in order to make ends meet (as it were).....
no longer a proud american @ 19:
Agreed. If anyone has shown the willingness to do the nasty for a few bucks it's Gannon. He'll do it cheaply.
nothing will come of this. the press beat up on themselves to get a reprieve from the public and to try to regain some of their completely lost credibility. they'll get back to lying by the 11:00 news cycle.
The corporate media only care about profits and expense accounts. Wars are big money makers,screw the country and the constitution. David Gregory should enlist.

Well McBush would certainly have a "MANDATE" then, wouldn't he?

And yet, he never calls and he never writes anymore...
Flash @ 31:
He's somebody else's tool now. Isn't it obvious? It's just proof that there's a market for anti-Bush tools now. And about time too.
I'm still curious about why the White House was smuggling in a gay prostitute as a journalist. Now if he was servicing someone, it would probably have to be someone very important like Bush or Dick.
Could it be Bush? He called the Canadian PM's assistant a pretty boy or something like that, and I heard that he surprised Jay Leno by grabbing his ass.
But to me, Bush seems like he's a nose picking cowboy who likes to mess with people, so my money is on Dick. The way he acts he appears to have been molested or something when he was a child. He's filled with hate and built up aggression. I'm not gay, but if the calibration on my gaydar is accurate, Dick comes off as a guy who likes to take the reins.
Some may think this is nonsense, but something about Cheney tells me he's a bull-gay. Are there any investigative reporters out there that could look into this?
pdx dave @ 96:
Well, if homosexuality is genetic, then my guess would be Dick Cheney. What do you think, Jenna?
Who is this latest WH attack dog Jeff Gannon ??
Is he legitimate ?
Jeff Gannon: Scotty, You’ve Changed…
Just for that you don't get any cactus candy.
Oh be nice!
Are the repugs trotting out gannon to imply McClelland's gay?
Talking of loyalty to the President, I've always wondered about that "slip" of Monica Goodlings. Was it really a slip? Or did she swear an oath TO THE PRESIDENT rather than to the Constitution?
And also... if Scotty knows WHO Gannon spent his time with on those nights he stayed in the White House, do you suppose he could be persuaded to tell? If it wasn't him, I mean.
Chico Hussein @ 98:
Only his mother's gynecologist knows for sure.
wow. he's hot.
Chico Hussein @ 98:
If you haven't heard of Jim/Jeff Guckert/Gannon, Take a few hours and google the snot out of it. Quite the interesting story.
That Jeff Gannon photo sends a thrill up my leg, for sure! I can see why he was secretly invited into the White House at night so often. Does he still have a Web site advertising his escort services?
A guy who used an assumed name, worked for a renegade right-wing rag, lived a double life as a male hooker, and pretended to be a legitimate journalist while asking contrived questions guaranteed to curry favor...this guy says somebody else has "zero credibility?"
Did Gannon just imply he was McClellans lover?
So gannon, was Bu$h your bitch, or the other way around?
"What I hear about the book does not sound like the Scott McClellan I knew for two years."
No doubt. Apparently Scotty tells the truth in the book.
Why would anyone need to hire a gay excort
To escort them to the Southern Cotillion?
“I can say without fear of contradiction, that I knew Scott better than any other White House correspondent or Washington reporter.”....
Yes, I'd imagine you can learn many things about a person when you have their genitalia crammed down your throat on a regular basis.
Sounds to me as if Gannon/Guckert is about to blow the cover off a lot of stuff that went on behind closed doors, on weekends when Laura Bush was out of town.
We know the Secret Service suspended its usual oversight requirements and allowed this male stud to roam the White House at will. We don't know why, but we can infer the S.S. was instructed to do so by someone. We know Gannon/Guckert had only a reporter's day pass, but was there at night and early in the morning.
Supposedly Reps. Conyers and Slaughter were investigating this, but nothing happened. With their investigation, that is.
LOL! He wasn't a "Whitehouse reporter" he was a dick sucking Whitehouse hooker according to the massive evidence uncovered by progressive American bloggers, Xenu bless 'em all.

Miatch @ 1:
I think that had something to do with "I'm not Gay" Senator with the wide stance. I think the Republican party -- and in particular, the NeoCon's, the Federalist Society and "The Family" are operating on the same system of "made men" as the mob. They don't trust you until they have dirt on you. I will be surprised if NO skeleton's fall out of Scotty's closet.
Hopefully, one day, we can offer amnesty to people who come forward with information on all the crimes committed. America won't be able to heal until we can pull all the dirt out of our wounds.
I said much the same yesterday or this morning.
Butt, if the WH tries to use Gannon to out McClelland, one it'll tick people off whether it's true or not,
And two it will remind the short-termed memory American public of those WH visitor records, and they might start inquiring again.
mike @ 103:
Jeff Gannon doesn't look like that picutre anymore. He lives near my neighborhood and I routinely see him outside. He's fat, old, and nasty but if you like them like that go ahead and hit it. I can say without fear of contradiction nobody else is.
I'm really burned out right now.....BUT, and correct me if I missed something, DO NOT EVER LINK TO THAT FREAKAZOID'S SITE AGAIN.............I AM REPULSED, DISGUSTED, AND BADLY IN NEED OF A DRINK.
He's a gay, military-sicko-type, twisted, psycho who hates himself more than anyone or anything else on planet Earth. How can a gay man, bash gays?
That picture also makes me more uncomfortable than looking at pics of say, Ted Bundy, or the Boston Strangler, for example. I wouldn't be surprised if he has some macarbe, double life, and has tons of little boys buried in a basement somewhere.....................I LOATHE THE SIGHT OF THIS GAY BASHING GAY HYPOCRITE. Now, to commence to happy hour.
