Duncan Black seems to be obsessed with outting gay Republicans. I haven't spoken on the outting of Jeff Gannon because so many other bloggers have been doing a good job of following the story. Bill at INDC offers a comprehensive roundup of the story here. Captain Ed and Ace put it all into perspective.
With this in mind I sicked The Jawa Report's gay intern, Bill Dauterive, on the case. He found this at Gay Singles Online. Is the following link to an ad by Duncan Black? You be the judge.
Um, attention idiots. Last time I checked humor and satire were protected speech---even if done in poor taste. Duncan 'not gay' Black's name is not even used in the advertisement. His e-mail is not used either.
What a bunch of whiny little bitches for readers.......I'm not trying to discredit Atrios by this ad. What I'm attempting to do is make fun of him and all of you who think it is the height of muckraking to out someone.
Because serious journalists want to know........

Nice. Next are you going to sign up Duncan for span email?

Pretty pathetic. The Bushies let a gay prostitute roam the halls of the White House, doing who knows what with who knows whom, and that's the best you can come up with? Atrios lets a gay singles service adverstise on his site???

Here's a hint guys; this has nothing to do with Guckert/Gannon being gay., It has everything to do with his being a whore, a liar, a hypocrite and getting the kind of access to the White House most people would never get close to.

You just can't see the hypocrisy of preaching "traditional family values" and being a hooker?

Why are Republicans all hypocrits. If Clinton had allowed a male prostitute into the press corps, they would have gone crazy. But somehow they feel that if Bush does it, well then, heck, it's all right by them.
(And by the way, the issue isn't that Gannon/Guckert is gay. No one except the Repugs cares about that. It's that he's an active protistute which, you might remember, is illegal.)

This is an incredibly sophomoric stunt that borders on - as one other reader pointed out - libel.
If giving White House press credentials to a fake reporter with a fake name who was planted in order to lob softballs at Scott McClellan isn't a big deal, tell us why it's not.
Then tell us how important the 4th Estate is to a functioning democracy.
That ought to make for good reading.

I don't get it. What is funny about calling someone gay? I think this might have gotten a laugh back when I was in high school in the 70's. Only a bigot would find this prank funny.
I don't think anyone on the left thinks there is anything wrong with "Jeff" being gay, except that it seems hypocritical for the gay-hating publication (all anti-gay material has been recently purged from their website) he worked for and the gay-batng White House.
I do think that "Jeff's" gay military themed escort business is kind of ironic due to the current don't-ask-don't-tell (and certainly don't be a gay escort using official Marine insignia on the Web) policy of our military.

nope, that's not it. the controversy is the fact that the white house gave a man with no journalistic background credentials for white house press briefings. he attended those briefings for two years, always being called on at virtually every press conference and reading republican talking points for his "questions."
that's the big story. (and indeed, it is mostly what atrios has posted about in the past 10 days or so--you guys didn't even notice the story until the gay prostitute angle came up--again, an angle that wasn't exactly pushed by atrios, he was out of town at the time)

Oh Jesus, help me, in this my hour of need, when GOP team leaders buy rainbow decals for their pickups and Dr. Dobson accuses a cartoon sponge of being the crypto-psy-ops agent of a pro-homosexual agenda, and the Jesus' General comments are being trolled and I'm not sure I can tell the difference, help me, Lord, to separate the snark from the serious, the farcical from the earnest, the parody from the unintentional self-parody.

You keep saying that, but it doesn't change the fact that it's not true. Nobody outed him; he was peddling his ass on the internets. And, as so many have pointed out, it's just one facet of a much bigger story. This unsavory character was granted access to your boy's White House and he was part of a scheme to expose a CIA agent. If you really gave an objective shit about this country, you'd be all over a security risk like this.

Grow up. Jeezus. No one "outed" Gannon/Guckert. He was a prostitute! With a business on the Internet! Am I "outing," say, Barnes & Noble if I point out that they sell books?
Now, lil' Scottie McClellan and Ken Mehlman are probably gay. But, if that's revealed as true, they will have been outed: why? Because they don't have a public life where, say, they engage in homosexual sex for money.
Hell, who even knows if Gannon/Guckert's gay. We know he engages in gay sex for money, but, news flash, a lot of the lesbian sex you people see in porn? Many of those women
are not actually lesbians! Gee whillikers! Really? This guy owes $20,000 in back taxes: maybe he decided to take his 8" woody and try to make a little cash, regardless of his sexuality.
But, as other people have pointed out, the point is that the WH, whose background checks are probably the most thorough in the country, certainly knew this hooker was a hooker.
Now, if Duncan had had access to the WH under a fake name while selling his sweet white can for cash, that'd be a scandel, huh?

It is silly to say that "Jeff Gannon" was "outed" as being gay. He made himself a very public figure under a pseudonym. That just invited the kind of "googling" web searches that led to his exposure. He would have been exposed in EXAXTLY the same way if he was a straight prostitute. He posted his semin-naked and naked pictures on AOL and on the Web! That is not a private act. He is the one who publically ADVERTISED (look up that word in the dictionary) his prostitution (and sexual preferences and prices). This is not outing!

Do you really not get it?
It's not about Guckert (that's his real name - start using it and stop with the denial already) being gay.
It's about the White House rewarding a gay prostitute with access for being a Republican shill, all while the same White House is attacking homosexuality.
It's really a simple concept. In fact, when you phrase it the way you all did a few years ago, it becomes even simpler:
It's not about the sex, it's about the lying.

What is amazing is the inability to recognize that Gannon/Guckert was a prostitute, and worked for a, at best, questionable "News Agency" allowed access to White House and Presidential news conferences, repeatedly, without a permenant press pass, and seemingly called on by both the President and Scott McClellan when the questions get a little to hot for their taste.
Additionally there is the whole Plame/CIA memo thing that no one seems to be willing to explain.
Instead, we get Republicans, thinking they are going to "Get Atrios" by creating a fake ad on a gay singles website.

Jeff Gannon outed? He publically advertised his prostitution price list, the size of his penis, pictures of himself peeing, as a gay hooker. He made all this widely available to the public via the web. "Outed by liberal blogs" -- is this the best you can come up with?

It's not about Gannon being
gay, Rusty. I mean, that photo-rich spread on AMERICAblog with the 15 or so shots of Gannon luxuriating over his own nipples, or Gannon's cock standing at attention -- coupled with the come hither ad text directed at other men?
Completely incidental. In fact, when I contacted John Aravosis about it, he wrote back and said, "dude, you mean I said that out
loud?"
Come on, Rusty. This is about nothing more than hypocrisy (though don't press me on specifics, because I'm not sure how, exactly, opposing gay marriage and hating gays are equivalent) -- and of course making sure those who have access to the White House press room are
PURE AND OBJECTIVE -- PARAGONS OF JOURNALIST VIRTUE!

Well, if you consider that the hack of a reporter may have exposed a CIA agent that was engaged in critical counter-terrorism work is
trite, well, my only question to you is "Why do you hate America so much?"
And, anyway, you seem to be awfully familiar with creating profiles on gay websites. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but you know, people in glass houses, etc. etc. etc.

Posted by: Rusty at February 15, 2005 11:27 AM
I see your problem. You don't know how to analyze a situation for its import. Let me help you out. Who they "outted" , if you will remember the order of the facts as published, correctly was not a gay hooker who happened to be a reporter. It was a fake reporter, who happened to be a gay hooker. Agree or disagree, but the facts of the timeline are facts that cannot be in dispute.
Take out gay, take out hooker, and you are still left with quote a problem on your hands, aren't you Rusty? Now you have a fake reporter with White House access. You have a fake reporter roaming the halls of the West Wing and he's been given access to top secret documents. This 'nobody' had access to a document that only six people had access to, and it was the document that 'outted' an undercover CIA operative. Does that sound like a good thing for National Security, Rusty? No, I don't think so either.
So it leave you with one of two positions to take. Either you think that this is the level of security that is acceptable at the White House, or you don't. Which is it?
You know Rusty, it's not the sex, it's the lying. Gannon lied about his name and about a gazillion other things and ought to be in a jailcell. Scott McClellan is either an idiot, or duplicitous, either one is ground for firing. The Secret Service was either incompetent intheir background check, or told by someone to back off. That's a question that could use a good answer, too.
And about the gay hooker thing, again, it's not the sex, it's the hypocrisy.

It's about Guckert/Gannon having access to the White House press room and being involved with the Plame event. Nothing to do with being gay or being a moron.
Why is it that pointing a finger and howling like the pod people that someone is gay when he obviously isn't is so republican? Why is smearing shit all over such a pass time? Grow up and give us intelligent debate rather than this idiocy, because if this is all you can come up with you have nothing to say.

When the facts don't jibe with reality, the best you can do is to resort to childish slander and lies? -- Jonathon Damarus
I'm sorry. Are you referring to Eason Jordan? 'Cause that's exactly what your boy did over at CNN.
...the controversy is the fact that the white house gave a man with no journalistic background credentials for white house press briefings.
And over on your side, U of Colorado gave a white man---pretending to be an Indian, a shameless demagogue fabricating imaginary historical incidents to justify his pathological hatreds, an apparent plagiarist who steals and distorts the work of real scholars---tenure and a Department head to an under-credentialed fraud. But I don't see you shrieking about that hypocrisy.

I mean, the Rebellion were definately Left-wing radicals, what with the whole species-equality, democracy through force of arms, women in high positions of command thing. Seriously, why support the Empire in real life, only to fantasize about the Rebellion (who are, let's not forget, the heroes of the story) on one's website? It seems a little odd, is what I'm saying.

Amazing, apparently a fake journalist uses anonymous name to report things in his blog.
Apparently he was reluctant to say his real name.
And, apparently, he is partisan.

Imagine, Republicans not being able to grap hypocrisy. Who'd a thunk it.
See, I'm for legalized drugs. I think a public figure's drug history should be private. But when you're Rush Limbaugh and helping to create a public opinion that drug users should rot in jail... when due to the filth you spew teenagers smoking pot are sent to prison and their lives are ruined, the fact that you take enough drugs to literally kill a horse should be public domain.
I'm gay. I'm all for promiscuity be that your inclination. Escorts? Well, there must be something seriously wrong with you if you're finding it difficult to have gay sex in 200X without using your VISA, but I'm not going to judge. But when you're James Guckert, and families are being destroyed and rights are lost for hundreds of thousands of homosexuals because of the filth you spew... the fact that you're a gay prostitute if fair game.

this is about:
1) hypocrisy - a gay prostitute promoting an agenda to destroy gay families
2) propaganda - talon news has fewer readers than the average teenager's livejournal, gannon was just planted to get in the daily white house talking poitns.
3) sex scandal - the white house wants propaganda. well, there are many people more qualified than jimjeff, who wrote such idiotic "poems" as
this. the white house could find a shill with more than a two day journalism degree, so who did this guy screw to get his position?
4) treason - whoever this guy is screwing leaked him the plame memos.
5) possible memogate connection - gannon was also one of the first geniuses to be clued in that the rather documents were fake... more pillow talk?
but of course, you can just call us all homophobes (even though some of us on this story, like me, are gay), because you can't face us on the issues at hand.

You know, as a Gay Republican, those pictures of Gannon's huge cock were quite startling. One of the best kept secrets is that wingnuts, almost to a man, have pretty small dicks. Actually they have very small dicks, I should know, I smoked about 2 packs (40 cocks including at least two "senior" WH officials) during the convention in New York. That Gannon was a plant IMHO, only a lefty liberal could have a Johnson that thick.

The subtext to the post is what disturbs me: if a propagandist is gay, then that gives him a free pass to be a propagandist, because to criticize him at all is to homophobic. Of course, that's absurd.
This logic is nothing new: Gonzales should be confirmed because he's hispanic (nevermind the torture question), Condi Rice is symbolic of some sort of progress (nevermind the lying/incompetence).
The difference with Gannon: the irony. I have no problem with gay republicans. But there's an irreconcilable tension for a gay man bashing other gay men. It suggests that much of the anti-gay rhetoric of the right wing is 1) divorced from reality, 2) disingenuous or 3) both.

If you want the skinny on the Plame investigation, no better place than Just one Minute blog (Tom Maguire). He is a one stop shop for that.
As to why Jeff gannon got where he was. There are a lot of people at that WH press briefings that I wonder, “what the hell is my crazy mary doing asking questions of the President.” (Helen Thomas).
Here is a good article to give you the idea of what kinda fruitloops (I mean that in the crazy sort of way, not the other way) get press passes.
http://www.editorandpublisher.com/eandp/news/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1000798573
“"Every day there are a whole bunch of people there I have never seen, and their questions make you wonder who they are representing,” said Judy Keen, a USA Today White House reporter whose time there dates to 1992. “It is not as rigid and structured as people might think."”
An exerpt: “Several reporters pointed to Russell Mokhiber, editor of Corporate Crime Reporter, who has been attending press events through a daily press pass for several years. Some say he is as partisan as Gannon in his questions, but often with a left-leaning approach. One reporter called him “the ideological flip-side of Gannon.”
Most recently, Mokhiber gained notice during a McClellan press briefing on Feb. 1 by asking the press secretary if Bush believed in the Sixth Commandment—thou shalt not kill—and if so, how could he support the Iraq War? McClellan did not respond to the question.”
How do you answer a question like that?
So you see, things are not as conspiratorial as you might think.
Who says he got any special privileges? No one has made that case yet. Sure they hint at it but proof? All we get is, “oooh, Scott McLellan may have been seen by someone going into a gay bar, oooh” oookaay, nice talking with you

You're just proving that Atrios and Kos and Americablog and Media Matters really touched a nerve.
Or that you guys are just all whining crybabies.
And if you're going to create a fake ad, don't give the game away with silly shit like "Aste Spumante." And if you do, spell it right, for crissakes.

I am starting to agree with instapundit on this
he just posted (top item)
WELL, IF BILL CLINTON COULD BE THE "FIRST BLACK PRESIDENT," WHY NOT? More evidence that some people are taking the Gannon/Guckert story farther than the facts warrant: I just got a press release from Democrats.com asking:
Did George W. Bush Have S*x with That Man, James Guckert?
Heh. I wonder if this whole thing is a Karl Rove sting operation? If so, the suckers are now firmly on the hook."
The more I think about this, the more I think Karl Rove has bent the left side of the 'sphere over the hood of a car and had his way with them.
Can you say p'owned?

So much malicious (and poorly-expressed) writing from the farrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr left...what could be the cause?
Ah, that's right. They just lost another presidential election. Howard "Eyaaaerghgghh" Dean is now the party chair, further accelerating their howling slide into oblivion and irrelevance. They ignore history (their hero, JFK, was notorious for planting friendlies in WH press confs) and risk alienating their gay voter base by o'erzealously pursuing the 'Gannon' nonstory, specifically by showing how AWful he is for being a gay escort. And on and on and on...
I guess I'd be mad too.
Note to the eschaton/kos/willis et al loonies: Come back when you finish watching Yu-Gi-Oh so you can focus on your comments a bit more. I guess telling someone his blog "sucks ass" might seem a telling point to you addled minds, but I don't think you've quite yet drawn blood. Keep trying though!

This is what happens when "hypocritical" wingnuts aren't sure about their sexuality. They try to cover up as so-called "machos" but the fact is they're longing for a big dick, that's why they are so taboo on the gay issue. So Jawa, we know you've used JD's escort services, just be man enough and admit it. Chickenhawk.

Oh that noble left. Never would they betray their principles for something so tawdry.
We're not. God, can a right-winger ever comprehend an issue that takes more than one sentence to explain?
See, we make fun of Bush's prior drinking and cocaine use, because everyone makes fun of the other side... but most of us don't make it an actual issue. We don't call for his resignation because of it.
Gannon's sex life is an issue because:
a) The hypocrisy. He's a gay prostitute trying to destroy gay families.
b) HE HAS NO QUALIFICATIONS. The man is a complete idiot. He cut and pasted his "articles" straight from press briefings to a web site that gets a fraction of the traffic as this blog.
Oh wait, looking at the spelling the right-wing uses maybe you don't notice his many grammatical and spelling errors. Take it from us or anyone else with a grade twelve education, a journalist Jeff Gannon is surely not.
It is an issue when it's fairly obvious he got his job and confidential memos from his john
Your side loves to accuse of treason when we disagree with you. However when your White House commits ACTUAL REAL TREASON you actually don't five a flying damn.

A: The parody is funny. Even Jr. High shit is good, if done right. Lighten up everyone. Think more like wonkette.
B: The left doesn't care that Gannon was gay. They wondered how some total hack made it in to all the press briefings and had access to so much. It was more of an investigation into the makings and structure of the right wing disinformation machine, the one constantly shouts "libruls hate america" and that suckered people into thinking "sadamm did 9-11." His slavish fawning for the Bush admin. and willingness to lie about democrats, combined with his news org. (Talon News? Controlled by GOPUSA? WTF?) made him a target. So the blogosphere asked: who is this guy? How does the right make their propoganda?
That led to: How does someone with a fake name make it into the white house like this?
Which led to: Oh, he's got a fake name because of the gay porn/prostitution stuff. At which point, as a right wing Christian fella (as he claimed to be), he was required to fall on his sword and disappear from the noise machine forever.
The left wanted answers because he was a partisan hack, pretending to be a journalist.
The right needed him gone once they found out about his sorid past. The right employed Gannon. Once exposed, it was the right that forced him out. The left reported, and the Right decided.

, and who was given information which revealed the identity of an undercover CIA agent [False allegation. No evidence], who happens to be part of an organization which whores out armed service personnel[Moonbat anti-Americna nonsense]. . . nahhh, that's not a scandal."

The controversy is a gay prostitute member of an insignificant press operation got white house press credentials and access to CIA documents.

You know, it's the twittering and shrill on both sides that cause so much trouble. Threatening lawsuits? Give me a break.
I'd consider myself to be fairly liberal and pro-human. I'd also consider myself cool. Is the gay Atrios joke funny? No. But not because it pokes fun at Duncan or calls him gay. It's just not that witty. Obviously, it should have included "looking for teddy-bear type." For the couch cuddling. =)

Let's look at these allegations: "A gay prostitute who ran escort websites offering sex for $200 a night or $1200 for the weekend" without any credentials [every single article on Talon News redirects to... GOPUSA!] who gained inside access to the White House 5 days after Talon News was created.
As for the subpoena.. google cache offers some insight from those rapidly scrubbing their pages of Jeff:

See, it's not abotu OUTING the guy. That's not even the damn point, and all you rethugs who think that's the point just keep on drinking that kool-aid.
THe POINT is that an insignificant journalist with a fake name (and a possible history in gay prostitution of at least himself) was able to repeatedly gain access to White House Briefings as a reporter for a fake news organization. He's been repeatedly caught copying GOP press releases verbatim and releasing them under his byline as "news" without any sourcing. He's repeatedly lobbed softballs full of GOP spin at McClellan and the President himself. He soemhow gained access to a confidential CIA memo about the Valerie Plame affair - remember, outing an undercover CIA agent is illegal and both he and homever gave him the memo are guilty.
BUt hey, keep trying to pretend that the issue is the outing, or the hypocricy or any of that. The sad thing is the COnservative Corporate Media will keep doing it too, convincing all the good little Murkins to not pay attention to the man behind the green curtain.

Who vetted Guckert? Republicans
Who called on Guckert at press conferences? Republicans.
Who gave a fugitive (Delaware bench warrant) day passes to the White House for more than a year? Republicans.
Who claimed they would restore Honor and Digitude to the White House? Republicans.
Who outed themselves as a prostitute? Mr. Guckert.
Connect the dots honey.

Sue the Ewe doesn't get it.
The left isn't going to get themselves in an uncontrollable fit of rage because one of their's is gay.
We, like all other rational humans, understand that such things are not worthy of any scrutiny, let alone anger.
What *is* funny, however, is how the Rightous Right has one of the "selfish heathens" in their midst, and suddenly it's not such a bad thing to them.
Of course, even though the sheep will never see the forest for the trees, the true meat of the story (no pun intended) is not Jeff Gannon's being gay, it is the fact that he engaged in illegal activity and that he had absolutely so journalistic credentials whatsoever.
All this is the WH that was supposed to restore "Honor and Integrity".
This guy Jeff, who has a bench warretn, runs a gay prostie ring, and uses a fake name gets past a security check exactly how again?
All this in (as you wacko right wingnuts so often like to remind everyone - as if we needed reminding) a post 9/11 world.

Let's imagine that Bill Clinton were in office, and say, sometime during the Kosovo situation it had come to light that a male prostitute had been regularly admitted to the White House press room in a manner to evade the normal certification procedures.
Then let's further imagine that the hooker was working for a Democratic partisan group financed by people in Arkansas with long-standing ties to Clinton's prior campaigns, and that the White House press secretary made sure to call.
And let's further imagine that the hooker, while posing as a reporter, had been involved in the calculated smear of the spouse of one of Clinton's harshest critics, and that the smear had involved blowing the cover of a CIA agent.
And then let's further imagine that the prostitute, given special access to the White House during wartime, specialized in the wearing of military uniforms for their erotic effect.
Now tell me that Fox News and CNN and every other network and newspaper wouldn't have been all over that story. The silence of the news media over the story of the male prostitute with a White House press pass is deafening.

I hate to rip you, stop being so ignorant, but I skipped out on this joint for awhile and posted over at Atrios the following:
p.s.(don't you know RETHUG BAITING WHEN YOU SEE IT????)
Atrios:
Scrolled up to find anti-gay sentiments - nothing there. And my step-son is gay, so to me it's personal. Perhaps you're confusing that allowing an "escort" (who happens to be gay and homophobic and a right winger with no credentials into the White House press room but appears not to be a paid prostitute with the probability that he 'outed' an undercover CIA operative with no other connections than the fact that he might be bought off for some reason). I don't know, but homophobic comments I don't see here.

Lurker... you dumbass... many of us who post here are gay. OUT gay. Commenting on gayness... joking about gayness...not so much a problem here. However, in the world of your little religious reich, where closeted queers write gay-bashing articles and encourage gay-bashing amendments... and turn out to be paid whores, THAT is a problem. So take your sorry wingnut ass back to LGF or whatever other hole you crawled out of.

Oh, Oy,
Now be nice. We have no proof that he was paid (other than the fact he was a volunteer for Talon and and no other income) and we can't expect being an 'escort' to be a viable income which would pay for a car, insurance, rent, etc. At least, for the first time the White House didn't leave a paper trail, except for that Plame matter.....

Hey, how do you know Atrios didn't expose a CIA agent? Do you have definitive proof he didn't? If not I can easily claim he "might have"... Since when did "might have" get any sort of logical or rational value? Heck, I might have outed a CIA agent too... doh, I better go hide my pron stash, or I'll be next on the hit list against "people nobody has ever heard of, and make no difference in the long run" (I'm gonna copyright that phrase. I bet I can use it again).
News flash, Tom Brokaw "might have" paid to have competing reporters deliberately targetted in Iraq. More on this if we ever get a shred of evidence...

To quote that blogger.."..This is evidence that the Left has goodwill towards few, and illwill toward most. What is the Left doing to itself? The harm that the Left is doing to itself by permitting itself to be consumed by illwill can hardly be overstated."
I presume you are stating that Boxer's pic with the flowers is representative of the "goodwill towards few." You are, however, ignoring the "illwill (sic) towards most" point of the blog.
As someone else pointed out, the Democrats need to offer something other than insults and a reactionary "NO" to the issues that matter to most people.

We have your liberal friends in Madison to thank for http://www.f*ckthesouth.com, which while crude and juvenile, also aspired to be factually inaccurate.
We have your friend Sue over at Daily Kos with her oh-so-funny "I'm a republican, F*ck You" a few days ago that so many of you enthusiastically applauded. Of course, Kos himself was not to be outdone when he used those same two words about the four contractors murdered in Fallujah.
I presume you can't heer all the hate, becuase being in the middle of so much of it creates such a deafening din, that no individual sounds stand out. You live in a white noise wall of hate.
Peachy.
Again, liberals excel at tearing things down, but that is all. Liberals fail to lead, and to inspire the public, which is why you keep losing election after election.
On the bright side, at least you can claim to be consistent.

That word, "trite." It does not mean what you apparently think it means (trite = Lacking power to evoke interest through overuse or repetition; hackneyed.) Since I can't remember any other time an "insignificant gay hack of a reporter" was outed, your question has a pretty obvious answer. Maybe you should check that "Expanding Your Word Power" section in

You side can't tell the difference between an opposition party in a democratic republic and the Nazis that killed tens of millions, and yet you (the collective you) love to make the charge on an hourly basis.
Conservatives freed 50 million of those you derisively refer to as "brown people" in Iraq and Afghanistan, and liberals let 800,000 die in Rwanda on your watch.

"If conservatives did this to a liberal they would be screaming to high heaven. Talk about hypocrisy."
Well, I'm a conservative (read: Goldwater Conservative) and I find the whole Pecker-gate thing to be pretty funny.
This President has claimed to be a conservative but lets alleged gay callmen into his press room, talks about small government while adding YET ANOTHER cabinet post to the Administration, and then passes one huge budget (with a Republican Congress in power, no less) after another with no end in sight.
The only topics that the Republicratic Party has been consistent on has been abortion and homosexuality. Providing this level of access to a homosexual begs certain questions that Republicrats are ignoring due to denial. Providing Jeff Gannon access to the Press Room is like handing the keys to the NIH to an abortion provider.
Anyone who considers it hypocritical to attack the President and his staff for *themselves* being a pack of hypocritical dorks is hardly a rational person.

Bush preaches compassion but hates gays and the poor.
Bush talks about increasing security but can't do background checks to discover Bernard Kerik's problems or Jeff Gannon's ...um....second career.

2. Registered gay porn sites in his own name.
3. Has denied everything EXCEPT being a gay prostitute.
Y'all got your indignation up to righteous levels because Clinton got a blow job and lied about it. Where's the indignation now that the "security" pResident can't do a simple background check to keep what the CIA considers a blackmail risk out of the same room with the pPresident?

I've never been more sure of continuing red-state victory in '08 as I am after reading the tripe you whiny bitches seem to believe is argument. Jesus liberals are a bunch of whiny, humorless pussies when it comes back around. The reason lib trolls outnumber the rest of us here is that we have lives to live, you pathetic losers, and we understand that yelling at like-minded idiots in an echo chamber is a waste of time. Had you not noticed you're all saying exactly the same thing over and over, and it's as wrong, stupid and pointless the 300th time as it was the first?
Your inability to see the irony in your frothing is great news for Republicans - it's good to know you'll abandon your principles for even the most ephemeral political gain, as always. Seriously, reading lefty insults anywhere is like watching fifth graders fistfight. Boring, ineffectual, and mildly embarrassing. Keep doing it to yourselves, bitches, it's fucking hilarious to watch.
