2. That's only a part of it
Another part is the illegality of what he was doing, and the presumed knowledge of this by the Administration. Why did they get HIM, of all people -- a ticking time-bomb -- to ask them pre-scripted questions?

3. Exactly!
None of us could really care if he's gay, except when he joins the homophobic alliance and pretends he's something he's not.

27. you know, when the Beltway Sniper was revealed to be black men
It really hit home and made me feel bad. Conventional wisdom was that "black people just didn't do stuff like that".

However, murder, ignorance, intolerance and hypocrisy is not limited to race, creed, sexual orientation or gender.

5. Not even that, catwoman.
This is about a gay B&D prostitute being given a press pass by someone in the inner circle, being pushed past the Secret Service and the FBI under an illegal alias (he's never changed his legal name), and being given classified documents by someone in the White House inner circle.

He's got a sugar daddy in there, and that's where the story has got to lead.

20. I sincerely doubt it
But if Gannon is armpit deep in the Plame outing, I would strongly suspect Scooter Libby is the sugar daddy.

6. And, well, prostitution is quite a stretch beyond just gay, anyway.
I mean, that's kind of illegal.

11. This resembles several other 'placements' by Bushco.
The Torture Party has waived Powell, Rice, Gonzales and other of thier hand-picked 'minorities' in the left's face and dared the left to go against these fascists. The Torture Party has played 'gotcha' by race-baiting for a long time.

This Gannon thing seems to have a facet of this same tactic. Bushco is probablly laughing all over itself wondering how the left is going to 'attack' a 'gay.'

13. THANK YOU
No one should ever think *I* give a RIP about anyone private sexual life.

What I DO care about are hypocrisies, hate-driven agendas, breaches of security, lies, etc.

14. The fundies SHOULD be outraged by this
Not only has Frist taken the gay marriage amendment off the table for now, but there is a gay hooker/pimp right there next to the president, with the permission of his press secretary, among others. This has got to be pissing them off no end, even if they aren't being very vocal about it.
If they would just connect the dots, they would figure out they have been duped big time. What they hate the most is going on right there in the White House.

17. If Jimmy-Jeff was Jill-Jane and if
Jill-Jane prostituted herself and her image could be found on websites that contained many nude photos and evaluations of her job performance, and if Jill-Jane had only attended a 2 day journalism seminar and worked for a make believe news service that was funded by partisan hacks, and if Jill-Jane was given a press pass to be a member of the WH press corp, this would still be a very important story.

It is not just the hypocrisy, it is the security violations and the planting of a shill by the WH.

18. Don't get too excited about this....
The freepers love it when we're distracted by issues that have eternal back and forth potential.

Meanwhile....the scum bag businessmen in power are finding new and innovative ways to reduce you and me to workers which give it all ...and get nothing in return.

19. The relevence of the story
-- hypocrisy, Gannon getting a WH press pass (given his lack of credentials), the WH possibly being a part of the fraud he perpetrated and Gannon's connections with Texas right wingers ---- is silenced, as long as the issue is about homosexuality. The more we talk about the gay thing the more diluted the real story gets.

23. Hypocrisy works both ways -
dwelling on someone being gay while saying that you are against homophobia and people should not be discriminated against for being gay (whether in the closet or not) - that's hypocritical as well.

25. I thought it was about a phony reporter being allowed
access to The White House - shows what I know.

If this - the phony reporter - had happened under Clinton, the press would have gone stark raving ballistic, but now you have howie Kurtz on asking what's so different between a jeff Gannon and ANY OTHER JOURNALIST - as if there is none.

We're not through the looking glass anymore - we're in an abyss. That's how deep they've dug that hole.

29. We'll ride Gannon right up to the doorstep of 1600 Pennslyvania Avenue.
Those that don't like it can just get the hell out of the way.

30. To be specific about the hypocrisy - they persecute same sex anything,
especially same sex acts, sames sex unions, same sex marriages. Now, they must be pushed to say that they are also against man-man prostitution.

If Dems lost voters because of same sex marriage (I didn't say lost the election because I 'know' it was stolen), then they are in for a sad round of realizing the hypocrisy of their bigotry actualized politically.

The case of morals, morality, immorality being owned politically is a farce. It can't be used again. And no Independent or Democrat who cares about tolerance should never allow them to use it again.
