Aravosis: Bulldog Guckert interview "20 minutes of bullshit!"
Edited on Fri Feb-18-05 08:55 PM by Bluebear
A great synopsis for those who missed the interview:

Oh my God. I want to have Anderson Cooper's children.

That was some of the most fun I've had in years. Anderson Cooper just ripped Jeff Gannon to shreds. Not that I wanted to see Jeff ripped to shreds, but I wanted to see a real journalist ask Jeff the hard questions, and Anderson did.

In a nutshell, Gannon didn't say a thing. It was 20 minutes of bullshit. He wouldn't answer any real questions. Challenged us to get answers from the White House and from GOPUSA. First, Anderson asked him about his name, and he said he used a pseudonym because his real name is hard to pronounce. Anderson answered "Jeff is hard to pronounce?" Gannon said, no Guckert is. Anderson replied, yeah but you changed James to Jeff, James isn't hard to pronounce. That set the tone for the entire interview.

I'm sure Crooks and Liars and others will have the interview up shortly, but the highlights are:

"PS I talked to a friend in NYC who knows Anderson and told him to pass along our thanks for being the first REAL journalist to grill this guy, and he's looking into options for us to get some flowers to Anderson."

1. It's sad when real journalism garners so much excitement--and flowers even
That's a shame.

But that said, he better step off, LOL, because I'm having Anderson's kids first!

3. "No one pronounces my name correctly"
He said he used a pseudonym like SO MANY others do, because his name was difficult to pronounce; he has yet to hear anyone pronounce it correctly.

Sorry, but you're no Zbigniew Brzezinski, dear.

Kinda reminded me of Hyacinth Bucket ("That's BOO-KAY!").

AC noted that "Jim" wasn't hard to prounounce, and yet he also used "Jeff" -- but did not push the issue.

9. "Yes, I am"...
Q: "First time in a limousine?"...
A: {pause} "First time in one this small."

I hope that was close. I never saw those commercials (I never resided in the U.S.A.), but someone told me about them in the mid-90s. The limo one stuck in my memory. Weren't they for MGD or Miller Lite?

10. Bud Lite, actually
I always enjoyed those commercials, even though I'm not a fan of Bud Lite (or most American mass-brewed beers).
