Gannon Bu$h*t Vs. The Real Deal
Why are you Du'ers focusing on a trivial news item such as Gannon when there are more important items of concern. Lets face it the issue pertaining to Gannon is equal to the tabloids focus of Michael Jackson's jury selection. In my opinion this is another magicians trick of the slight of hand. Which was so successful during the Raygoon administration. The real issue, is the assassination of Rafig al-Hariri.
Although a previously unheard of outfit calling itself al-Sham claimed responsibility for al-Hariri's assassination commentators said the magnitude of the blast suggested an intelligence agency was behind the explosion rather than a small group. (lets say Israel or the U.S.)
In my opinion I believe that the recent attacks on so called Iraqi police and military forces.
They have been conducted by our military or the IDF! And this may be the machinations of my previous assumptions. The bottom line is that our so called govt. has created a magicians slight of hand, from distracting the consensual issues of your conscience(Gannon).

1. Uh, they're missing the point.
Gannon's sexuality isn't the issue, nor his his former profession as B&D hired stud. It's who got him into the WH, who maintained his cover under an alias, and who fed him internal memos.

That is the big story. The rest of it is just a setup to it.

11. Yes IMO Warpy's correct ... besides one FACT
about the MSM is that they are insatiable whores and their FAV topic is anything having to do with a sex scandal.

THIS will get our foot in the door and then, *'s house of cards will come down.

2. Do you seriously believe this?
"the issue pertaining to Gannon is equal to the tabloids focus of Michael Jackson's jury selection"

This isn't about his sexual orientation. This is about his ability to gain almost exclusive access to the President of the United States under an assumed name while participating in prostitution. Not exactly small potatoes. Why don't we see where this thing goes before we equate it to Jackson's jury.

3. Because unless we take out the Republicans by means their
constituents understand (like gay prostitutes in the WH), there'll be lots more al-Hariri stories that will occur in the future.

You are dealing with a US society where 50% of the voters get their news from cartoons.

12. If we use their means, why bother...
...to replace their lying bastards with our own? For the sake of power, which of course *we* would never abuse? Uh-uh. If we sell our souls for the same reasons, we become them. Pretending to be shocked by mansex perpetuates horrid, anti-democratic memes.

14. Sorry, no sale.
Either you understand the way Republicans play politics in this country or you don't. If it takes exposing their hypocrisy on the gay issue to oust them from power, that's A-OK with me.

Expose their hypocrisy on their cynical playing to their base's homophobia and what's left of their party? The 2% wealthiest of Americans who are the only real winners with Republicans in office.

20. Just What Are We Talking About?
" If it takes exposing their hypocrisy on the gay issue to oust them from power, that's A-OK with me."

With me, too. It doesn't take lascivious, veiled anti-gay smears to do that. We needn't descend to the level of a Scaife.

5. 'Gannon' is the big story...
imo. It is different from the 'foreign affairs' story but just as big if not bigger.

'Gannon' is a security issue that goes right to the heart of the White House.

7. But these are the things the evangelical-Christian-right wingnuts hold
important. It smacks their anti-gay, homophobia, family values butts big time! You know Dobbson and Falwells attack on the Teletubbies and sponge Bob...this shit is important to them. Bashing gays, and gay marriage, and the "low morals" of the liberal Dems is what brings in their money. That's why it is a HUGE story.

It should be ground into their faces.

10. You are missing the point of who's who and what they are
about!

These people are connected, thus how they are connected is very important. The point is that Gannon (whatever his name is) was put into the mainstream media mix and aloud to push the Bush Jr. agenda with push questions. This is what we in the modern world call propaganda. If enough people feel they were totally dupe into propaganda scam by this administration, just maybe we can get this written into the history books so it does not happen in the near/distant future. If you have not figured it out yet, the Republican Party is a breaking number of laws and we as a people do not want it to continue nor repeat ever again without ramifications.

Here is a link with the connections:

15. Dobson and Falwell will be curiously quiet about this.
Because the gay prostitute, tax-cheating, liar happens to be a Republican. It would only be a moral outrage if the gay prostitute, tax-cheating liar were a Democrat.

Dobson, Falwell, and Robertson are the Republican Party's Supreme Moral Hypocrits. They remind me of Bill "The One Armed Bandit" Bennett who is also quite selective on his pronouncements of virtuosity. The more this shit gets exposed, the more they turn out to be the lying con artists that they are.

16. Just to hear them say:
"No one in the White House had sex with that man."

The very idea that a fake-named person had such access to the White House is cause for great concern.

One simply must wonder what that fake-named individual did to gain such access. Now we find said individual may have been a prostitute, and so, we wonder, did he use that profession to gain access?

18. It's stories like this that get the attention of the general populace.
The same people fixated on Jackson, etc will have some pruriant interest in this, which is actually a good thing. If this really becomes publicized (which I doubt as Wolf is still embedded - or in bed), could create greater damage to the * administration, than lying about WMDs and everything else under the sun.
