Poll question: So far, what is the most compelling aspect of Guckertgate?
What do you think is most likely to stick? What do you think will force the corporate whores to report it?:) The reporting HAS started, so don't say "nothing!"

1. That his background check was apparently waived
That's a biggie.

Also, with so many hungry cub reporters at so many right wing daily newspapers in this country, why Guckert?

Anybod could have been a shill. Why pick somebody who had that much to hide? Why pick somebody who needed a fake news service created so he could be credentialed?

Gotta be a sugar daddy in there somewhere, somebody who was willing to compromise national security to have his "favorite" around.

2. Lack of journalistic background.
Edited on Thu Feb-17-05 10:38 PM by intheflow
I think the legit media that had been willing to turn its head before will feel stirrings in their professional egos and go in for the kill on Gannon. I think MSM's indignation at the WH for holding a ho in higher regard than the MSM will spur the MSM to action. Then, the only way to report some of it is to report all of it. So that's what breaks the story open.

3. The rest of it just makes him a right-wing media whore...

But...his ties to the outing of Valerie Plame Wilson could make him a traitor.:mad:

4. mulitple questions need multiple answers
Most likely to stick is his websites. Most likely to force corporate whores to report it is WH connections, how did he manage to get this postition. Most likely wish for outcome is impeachment.

5. Possible ties to one or more white house aids?
You mean in his services as a gay escort?

Any proof of that or evidence? or just assertion?

my friend, be it personal or business. I'm sure you saw the word "possible" in my post, and I'm sure you understand it's meaning.
