Oh, the indescribable irony continues.
Former-hooker-turned-fake-journalist James “Jeff Gannon” Guckert responded (sort of) to a recent BRAD BLOG article referencing his White House “correspondent” fakery, as filed by our special Libby/CIA Leak Trial correspondent Margie Burns.
We failed to notice the response/obfuscation on his little blog when it was originally published since, frankly, the traffic from “Gannon’s” site didn’t trigger high enough numbers for us to take note of it in our “incoming traffic” hit-counter.
While we hate to draw any more attention to the silly, disgraced GOP operative, his presence in the White House briefing room — dropping phony Administration talking points (or perhaps more precisely, Office of the Vice-President) during the early days of the CIA Leak revelations — deserves notice and further investigation, in our opinion.
Also of note is the subsequent scrubbing of White House website documents referring to “Gannon’s” questions at the time. That matter was also recently reported by Burns, and seems to be in apparent violation of the Presidential Records Act of 1978.
Anyway, we’ll make “Jeff’s” day and send him a bit of traffic today by quoting the lead of his blog item, in which he knocks the irony meter off the chart by calling Joe Wilson a “proven liar,” and even goes so far as to write (apparently with a straight face): “The search for truth is not a smear campaign, it is the essence of journalism.”
Fifteen more minutes, then, for silly “Jeff”:
The Old Media is breathlessly reporting on the tapes of Scooter Libby’s Grand Jury testimony in the Valerie Plame Affair. The reporters/DNC operatives are certain that Libby lied, probably to protect Dick Cheney, Karl Rove, George Bush, et al. The question I still ask is: Lied about what? That loudmouth Joe Wilson’s third-rate, desk-jockey analyst wife worked at the CIA? Why lie about that and so what if he did? The only proven liar in the entire saga thus far is JOE WILSON.
A Hard Left blogger is claiming that I led the “White House attacks on Joe Wilson.” That accusation is UNEQUIVOCALLY FALSE.
You’ll have to read the rest of his piece to see how Republi-journaloid “Gannon” doesn’t actually bother to offer any actual “proof” for his case that Wilson is a “proven liar.” But in “Jeff’s” imaginary Fox “News”-based world, we suspect that simply saying something out loud — like “we know for a fact that Saddam Hussein has nuclear weapons” or “the insurgency is in its last throes” — is “proof” enough for him and the other Bush dead-enders still left out there.
Fuckert’s actually still writing??? FOX News should sign him up to replace Colmes…I can see it now: “PropagHannity and Fuckert”…he can be the mindless sidekick of “the Great American”…and provide “eye-candy” for Hannity fans, if he dresses like the above picture…
It is difficult to understand how he can write when he can’t read Mr. Wilson’s own claims . . .
“That loudmouth Joe Wilson’s third-rate, desk-jockey analyst wife worked at the CIA? Why lie about that and so what if he did?”
Wo. I last heard the term “loudmouth” when I was a kid. A little little kid. And it was used it when someone told [the truth] on someone else.
Geesh. How loooow must we go?
OK, well at least it helps answers the question, “who ARE those people,” when we ask who still supports this admin. Adult babies…with brains commensurate. The Brat Pack.
what an asshole ,no Jeff ,thats not a compliment .
mick
i find myself more and more like that homophobe evangelist who kicked/didn’t kick his meth habit but who definetely has his homosexuality in check after 3 weeks of counciling. Do you have any more cute photos or have they been scrubbed from existance like White House website documents and widdo Scoota Libby’s faulty memory. It’s good that Reagan died with the famous words of “i can’t recall” because after a permanent memory loss of the the Iran-Contra scandal, he simply didn’t have the overwhelming popularity pull to try and overturn that silly law that a US president can only serve 2 terms.
Maybe GW Bush commander in chief of the Bushit administration might consider extending his tenure to 3 terms? He stole Florida in 2000 to win. He stole Nevada, New Mexico, Ohio, and Florida in his victory of 2004. If he stole 2008, he and prick cheney i mean big dick could quit possible succeed in continuing their war of terrorism they started on 9/11/01. i dare you all to personally investigate World Trade Building #7 which fell controlled demolition 10 hours after the twin towers and no arabs were in the area to yell pull but thats all it took. 6 seconds later it was reduced to smoke and rubble. There has been no independent criminal investigations EVER and that’s fine with Congress and Washington which has to problem continuing the multi-national corporate takeover of the United States and the world.
I’m sure if George is president a 3rd term he would fulfill my personal expectation of completely destroying this dream called life be it by military conflict or just the final choke of our fragile atmosphere from all the human pollution since the so called great industrial revolution that started pumping massive amounts of crap into the air we living things need to survive.
There is nothing like the human experience as compared to the other animals in the park.
This administration is a study of how when the most despicable greedy criminal lowlifes award themselves the power of the greatest nation in world how they can use that power against all human kind. As they speed to an apocalyptic demise using bigger lie after bigger lie as a form of damage control one thing is definetely clear. These people are the biggest fcking losers to ever inhabit my home!
Now, now, now,
don’t be so hard on Jeffie Gannon.
He served our country with 10 tours of duty to Vietnam as a distinguished member of the United States Marine Corps. Semper Fi – Hoo-rah !!! Just read his slut web/blog.
He got five Purple Hearts, three Medals of Valour, a Silver Cross, the Congressional Medal of Honor, and the pResidential Medal of Freedom.
Oh,.. that’s right,.. I’m sorry that was all just a bare faced lie, courtesy of Jeff Gannon. He is just a male prostitute who hires himself out at $200.00 per hour.
But he still deserves full credibility,.. he is just shy when it comes to telling the truth.
What was Wilson’s motive Jeff?
Mad-dog, being a top, wants to be on top of it.
But journalism is not about that Jeffie, and we know you will never attain the level of journalism we demand.
The gay ho thingy is not going to go away nor are the lies of your guys in the white house were Preacher Ted condemned you even as he condomed you.
We are not persuaded by such twaddle. You might be able to get a little talkin over at DOJ by “chumming” up to Gonzales again like old times.
But here where we bring out the truth, we would not be impressed with your distortions and delusions.
I mean, after all, your idea of truth is what Scooter is being criminally prosecuted for.

“Shut Up and Sing”: Dixie Chicks’ Big Grammy Win Caps Comeback From Backlash Over Anti-War Stance
Perhaps no musical act has paid a bigger price for speaking out against war than the Dixie Chicks, the biggest selling female music group of all time and the big winners at the Grammy Awards on Sunday. They have been largely blacklisted since the eve of the U.S. invasion of Iraq in March 2003. That’s when the group’s lead singer – Natalie Maines – said the group was against the war and ashamed that the President Bush is from Texas. Barbara Kopple joins us to talk about her new documentary, “Shut Up & Sing”, which chronicles the period since. [includes rush transcript]
——————————————————————————–
Over the past four years scores of popular musicians have spoken out against the war in Iraq and the Bush administration. The list includes Bruce Springsteen, Neil Young, Jay Z, Missy Elliot, Sheryl Crow, Barbara Streisand and the list goes on. But perhaps no musical act has paid a bigger price for speaking out against the war than the Dixie Chicks ““ the biggest selling female music group of all time.
On Sunday night the group was the big winner at the Grammy Awards. The group won a total of five Grammys including Record of the Year, Song of the Year and Best Country Album. However if you tuned into many country radio stations today you won’t hear their music. They have been largely blacklisted for the past four years — ever since the eve of the U.S. invasion of Iraq in March 2003. That’s when the group’s lead singer – Natalie Maines – told an audience in London the group was against the war and ashamed that the President Bush is from Texas.
BILL O’REILLY: They don’t know what they’re talking about. Callow foolish women, who deserve to be slapped around.
REBECCA HAGELIN: Absolutely.
UNIDENTIFIED MAN: I think we in South Carolina ought to say goodbye to the Dixie Chicks, and anybody that thinks about going to that concert ought to be ready, ready, ready, ready to run away from it.
PROTESTER: God bless GW!

Don Young a republican representative from Alaska uses sources of the Jeffie G ilk.
On the floor he quoted a well-known and bogus fake quote from Abe Lincoln which never happened.
Many sicko wanna be right wing journos use the fake “quote”:
(link here).
Go ahead Jeff.
Hey BD
I thought you might be interested in this. I’m looking forward to adding my thoughts on the effects this FCC has had on democracy! Hope to see you and everybody else in PA who cares about media consolidation to be there!
RE post #10
Abe Lincoln once said “Jeffie Gannon sucks”. 😉
I think I’m going to buy a “Dixie Chicks” CD…and I don’t even like country music!!!
Been a while since I commented here!
Big Dan or anyone else….
Does anyone have a clue where Gannon came (doh!) from or how he ever got involved with the white house?
You’d think they’d just hire some zombie Repub college student that didn’t work as an escort on the side.
Did he meet the white house insiders through his side job??
There has been a lot of misinformation from liberals about a so-called false quotation from Abraham Lincoln. But no-one can deny these words from 1864 — words which have a peculiar resonance today:
“I foresee a time, should this, our beloved party, ever lose its ability to steer the ship of state, when grave danger shall assail this nation. If ever these wise guardians of the earth no longer provide the hand that guides the plough, we shall be assailed not only from within, not only by the dreadful backstab of the domestic Judas, but from without, by forces inimical to the Christian faith and hostile to the very concept of civilization.”
— Abraham Lincoln, 1864, speaking before the Republican National Convention
NeilDeal
Just a gut feeling, but something tells me Pussyboy Karl knew him.
So-called false quotations??
Interesting way to put it.
Sounds about right. Dark powers from within that hide behind the Christian religion while they seek to take over the greatest democracy ever created.
Ancient
I’d buy that. If I remember correctly, Gannon had made a LOT of visits to the white house in the run up to his outing.
Neil: Talon news…the fake news organization, I think Brad even covered it before.
Yeah NeilDeal
All those late night visits, hmmmmmmmmm? In my opinion the whole administration has the worst case of projection I’ve ever seen! When they’re accusing the most damaging target of all those evil things they know are going on, it’s really just because they’re doing them!!!
Dan
Thanks, yea I remember that. But I’d like to find out how he and the white house ever hooked up in the first place.
It seems as if someone knew Gannon before Talon was created. Then they proceeded to create the fake Talon news so they could stick Gannon in the press corps and have him spread propaganda or inject doubt into stories.
I spose congress would have to start an investigation.
Thanks!
A fake front group, much like ACVR, Thor’s fake group. Lots of fake “infomercial” like stuff, to fool idiots, brought to you by Bushco. And don’t forget the fake news VNR’s, those fake news reports distributed across the country. Goebbels ministry of propoganda: Bush and the corporative Republicans.

Just like Ted Haggart(sp?)!
Nobody here seems to be able to properly address the repeatedly asked question of where this Guckert/Gannon guy actually came from. Neither can I give you a definitive answer, but I can tell you this:
Some people think Gannon is actually the first child ever to appear on the back of a milk carton, Johnny Gosch. Note the JG initials that Gannon/Guckert/Gosch(?) uses for all his aliases. More info on that can easily be found by Googling “Guckert Gosch”.
Even more people note the remarkable correspondence between Gannon’s sketchy overnight White House visits and Tony Blair’s overnights — Google “Guckert Blair” and see…
The truth is probably much different, and far worse.

Hahahahahah!!
See what a few parenthesis can do?!!
I’d say that just about sums it up.
Chris – re: # 25
You’re twisted.
I really like that in a person 🙂
#24…The so called high school pictures of Jeff Gannon don’t look like him. But Johnny Gosch’s school pictures do. It is a sad sad story that I wish I had never heard about.
Chris
Was your name originally Beavis or Butthead? Uh-huh-huh-huh, you said, come, u-huh-huh-huh.
That…guy…needs…to…be…prosecuted…for…his…misdeeds.
Better? ha ha
Big Dan:
You won’t regret buying a Dixie Chicks album. The music is great and it’s a way to thank them for giving our side a bang instead of a fizzle for once!
Take that!
Big Dan #13

I bought the Dixie Chicks CD a few months ago. It is not “hard country” and their voices spice things up.
I also bought Neil Young’s Living with war CD. These two are better than Bob Dylan’s latest because he is wimping out on activist issues and seems to want to stew in blues instead of using his brilliant poetical and musical ability to resist the fascists.
Oh how I long for more Masters of War type lyrics. How about “Masters of Oil”?
Psst, hey, NeilDeal, I wasn’t making fun of you. I was just re-utilizing your very true statements to have essentially a B & B moment. Well excuse me! It is agreed that all involved should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. Let’s face it though, someone was screwing gannon in the WH. After all, you don’t need a REAL prostitute to achive this sort of journalistic prostitution (see Judith Miller, Tim Russet, Chris Mathews, the entire FOX news channel, …)
Dredd:
I find it absolutely amazing that Bob Dylan wrote “Masters of War” in 1963. The Beatles didn’t even hit the scene until 1964. How old was Dylan when he wrote that?
There’s a great deal more to this “Jeff Gannon” enigma than meets the eye. Notice how he keeps stonewalling on the issue of taking a DNA test that would prove once and for all whether he is or is not abducted paperboy Johnny Gosch? The reason he refuses is because it might expose a much bigger iceberg that we have thus far only seen the tip of, and in exposing that he would be putting his life in jeopardy.
That iceberg is the organized ring of people who kidnapped Johnny Gosch and many other kids and forced them into sexual slavery. It is a C.I.A. pedophile sex ring that has origins in their MK-ULTRA programs and apparantly branched out into using child prostitutes to blackmail members of Congress, other government officials, foreign dignitaries etc. who happen to be pedophiles, and in addition to the blackmail aspect there’s the large amount of money they surely make, all off-the-books, from trafficking in children. This has been going on for many years and almost certainly still continues. Every once in a while small bits of the iceberg peek above the surface, much to the dismay of the C.I.A. pedophile sex ring.
One example was the child abuse scandal at the Presidio of San Francisco in the early 1980s involving Lt.Col. Michael Aquino, who is a former Green Beret and was then in military intelligence/psyops, as bizarre as it sounds also founder of the satanic Temple of Set. And not only was this pedophilia and ritual abuse going on at the Presidio but also at many other military facilities like Fort Ord, Fort Dix, West Point etc. There are MANY links online to articles about this Presidio scandal, and here are a few:

Then around the turn of the decade 1980s-’90s, the Franklin Community Credit Union scandal broke, involving that rising star in the Republican Party Lawrence King (not to be confused with talk show host Larry King; 2 different people). What started out as a probe into embezzlement of millions of dollars from the Credit Union began uncovering something much more sordid: King was heavily involved in an organized pedophile ring that was providing “services” to government officials in Washington where King had a second home. Of course the powers that be put the kibosh on this aspect of the investigation, even going so far as to prosecute two of the witnesses for “perjury” for refusing to recant their testimonies about the child molestation, and King was prosecuted for only the monetary aspect of the Franklin scandal. Many links exist regarding this scandal and here are a few:

http://www.sexandmycitywilmingt...a.net/id6.html
Around the same time, in July 1989 the White House call-boy sex scandal broke. This amazingly enough was featured on the front page of the Washington Times. This scandal involved Craig Spence and others taking underage male prostitutes on midnight tours of the White House and whoring out their “services” to pedophile government officials in various other locations also. This scandal was connected to the Franklin scandal. Many articles are online about this scandal and here are a few links:

http://www.newsmakingnews.com/s...1.htm#article0
Then in the late 1990s a scandal broke involving the C.I.A. “cutout” front company Dyncorp and its trafficking in children for prostitution in Bosnia where Dyncorp was providing military-related services for U.S. and other NATO forces in Bosnia in the aftermath of the Yugoslav civil war. Nevertheless, Dyncorp was still able to get huge contracts to provide services to the military in Iraq. Here are some links to articles about the Dyncorp scandal and subsequent contracts:

Now most recently we have the “Jeff Gannon” scandal. On the day that some started wondering if “Gannon” is really Johnny Gosch, Hunter Thompson ended up being suicided. Here’s a link explaining why:
http://educate-yourself.org/cn/...e05apr05.shtml
Johnny Gosch’s mother Noreen Gosch, despite repeated (organized) harrassment and threats, continues to expose the truth about her son’s kidnapping and the C.I.A. pedophile sex ring in general. Here’s an interview with this brave woman:

Feel free to send this (what I posted here) to anyone you know; please do; the truth needs to be exposed, the sooner the better.
