Jeff Gannon / Jim Guckert Talking Points

[Technowitch]

Okay folks, in case we were losing track, here are the various talking points regarding this whole 'PropaGannon' scandal. I'll include the reasons why we're bringing this up in parentheses after each item.

- Guckert got into the WH on a daily basis for over two years, using an alias, which isn't supposed to be possible. (Partisan favoritism, plus obvious WH influence)

- He's lied about the reasons for that alias (hard to pronounce and spell Guckert?!!). (Lies)

- He was never a real reporter for a real news organization. (propaganda, plus professional fraud)

- His journalistic credentials consist of a 2-day weekend course provided by a partisan Republican organization (the same people who passed out those purple bandaids at the GOP convention in '04). (Fraud)

- At the same time he was getting into the WH daily, he's also been advertising himself as a gay prostitute ($200/hr) on numerous websites, many of which have been proven to belong to him and some of which are STILL live. (Breaking the law)

- He's lied about owning the gay escort websites and profiles, despite proof. (Lies)

- Actively engaging in illegal activities (prostitution) AND having an open $20k tax judgment ought to have precluded him from getting into the WH. (Security breach)

- It's not about the fact he's gay, it's the fact he also wrote numerous virulently anti-gay articles before he was outed. (Hypocrisy)

- He apparently knew classified information (Iraq war start, alleged CIA memo) before it was announced and repeatedly bragged about it. (Security breach)

I'm sure there's more, and feel free to add to this thread. But for those who wanted the quick thumbnail summary, that's what I could come up with.
