Houston Local Freebie Newspaper Interviews Gannon's "Boss" at TALON:
"...things are tense at Talon News World HQ. Which turns out to be a completely unprepossessing suburban tract house in Pearland.

Talon is owned by GOP supporter Bobby Eberle, who also owns the GOPUSA Web site. Eberle, who says he's CEO and editor in chief of Talon News, wouldn't go into the specifics of the Gannon controversy, but did answer a few questions.

A few questions -- Talon News-style!

Q. Can you really blame a guy like Gannon for wanting to give the Bush administration respectful questions when you're in the presence of such an honorable leader?

A. Uh, I'm not sure I understand the question. "

3. So did Eberle violate campaign finance laws
with the money he spends to operate GOPUSA and Talon News, since he is a GOP operative and these sites were nothing more than venues to promote the Bush and GOP agenda?

5. Bush can pardon anyone on his team
whcih is why I keep saying that since he is a fake from the get-go,
NOTHING he has signed or put into effect as pResident is valid.
And certain Supreme Court INjustices
should return their paychecks for the past four years
because they have not complied
with the good behaviour requirement of the Constitution.
