I wonder how much he was paid for his time there…
So, what excuse did the other 399 attendees use?
Z.
September 27th, 2005 at 4:06 pmWas he cruising?
September 27th, 2005 at 4:11 pmKKKarl told him it was “Chicks with D*cks” get together.
September 27th, 2005 at 4:12 pmWas he signing 8×10 glossies? Or whatever size he might need…
September 27th, 2005 at 4:35 pmHas there been an official explanation by the WH for this guy? Anybody?
September 27th, 2005 at 4:37 pmNevermind

September 27th, 2005 at 4:43 pmjeffy must not be too “busy” lately – quite paunchy, i must say…not attractive…shallow, i know, but so what…
September 27th, 2005 at 4:45 pmMaybe the Prez himself was amoungst the 400 “pro war” supporters. Did anyone spot Bush and Gannon hand in hand?
September 27th, 2005 at 4:53 pmHe thought it was a march to show support of military guys. Well, we all know that’s his main schtick. He just didn’t know it was a march to support military guys IN IRAQ…. Maybe that’s why he was seen leaving, sobbing heavily.
September 27th, 2005 at 5:02 pmLets not forget GAY PROSTITUTE who had numerous sleepovers at the whitehouse according to exit logs!
Wonder why an EX-GAY graduate of Worthy Creations (that would be bush) would have a gay prostitute sleep over at the whitehouse. Monica had her dress, I wonder if gannon has a blazer that could tell some tales!
September 27th, 2005 at 5:16 pmJust more crazyness from the right. Check your waletts and civil rights, they alway’s pull this crap while stealing something from us…Blessings
September 27th, 2005 at 5:17 pmThis is off topic, but relevant to this administration. This is the face of radicalism – and unfortunately it’s israeli! Their government is much the same as america currently. Extreme. Right wing. Violent. Oppressive. Without Reason. And without civil rights in the clearest of humanitarian senses. This is EXACTLY what the trolls would do to you and me in this country if given half a chance. The israeli people deserve better – and so do we!
http://www.truthout.org/docs_2005/092705H.shtml
Free Tali Fahima now and the countless peace activists like her around the world detained by authoritarian and oppressive regimes! For years the israelis and the americans have bullhorn yelled about the horrific treatment of democracy and peace activists in islamic countries – only to turn around and be as obscene and inhumane as those islamic dictatorship! These are not the jewish values I know! These are not the christian values I know! These are not the HUMAN values I know! This is an act of state sponsored intimidation and terrorism!
September 27th, 2005 at 5:31 pmI suppose you lefties are going to start attacking my man, Gannon, now? Probably call him fake and a yellow journalist. Sure, his naked pictures are posted on the internet site of a gay activist. That is no reason to suggest that he probably thought the march was for “military gays” instead of “military guys.”
Correct me if I’m wrong, but don’t you think that is the reason the Administration cut him loose suddenly, when it found out that he was in direct contrast of their “family values” no matter how much he supported the pres with his false information? Americablog.org noted the “Whitehouse wouldn’t let him in the door right now, knowing his background.”
You lefties ought to be ashamed, not showing compassion for a Repub wanna-be who also advertises himself as a $200 an hour gay escort. (You can see him and his add at:

September 27th, 2005 at 5:40 pmGannon, the fake reporter, attended the pro-war march.
September 27th, 2005 at 5:48 pmWe were peace marchers; what’s he marching for?
Or was he just cruising Pennsylvania avenue for a new hook-up?
Marie,
You know he was a ‘PRO’ for the military – so maybe he misunderstood what the march was actually for ;)
September 27th, 2005 at 5:52 pmThis just in from wwww.scrappleface.com:
“Washington D.C. police today arrested anti-war protester Cindy Sheehan, forcing her to live indoors, at least temporarily.
“Police took her into custody for sitting on a sidewalk, blocking pedestrian traffic near the White House, as a crowd of her supporters chanted, ‘No Bush. No Wars. No law can make us live indoors.’
“Mrs. Sheehan, a nature enthusiast, recently spent a month camping near President George Bush’s Texas ranch, sparking an outdoor-living craze among activists advocating a variety of progressive causes.
“A police spokesman said the perpetually-grieving peace icon would eventually ‘be released into the wild.’”
September 27th, 2005 at 5:58 pmWhat a hilarious article BSE but what does that have to do with Jeff Gannon being spotted mincing around the White House?
Z.
September 27th, 2005 at 6:09 pmBSR,
What’s your point? So, Cindy Sheehan got arrested. Big deal, that is what she knew would happen yesterday. It’s not like the secret service swooped down and wisked her away to a secret lair to torture her. She was arrested for protesting without a permit. She had a permit for Saturday.
The most important part about her getting arrested?
It was covered in every newspaper around the world. It makes Bush look silly to arrest the mother of a fallen US soldier.
September 27th, 2005 at 6:11 pmBSR,
Don’t you wish you had people that enlightened, committed and dedicated on your side? The only members you have that are that dedicated is the sex offender with a child standing in front of Schiavo’s hospital and his friend who tried to organize an armed ‘militia’ to free a brain dead woman. Based on your post, you MUST be that woman…
September 27th, 2005 at 6:16 pmHey, Red, #16, hows your hammer hanging? Its me, Joe, looking for a conservative spin I can back up with a few facts. Nice stab at Cindy Sheehan about being a nature enthusiast and all that bullshit you put with it. Rightwingers like us like to tear down anyone who agrees with her. Outrageous insults work every time, huh, pal? Makes you right proud to be a conservative.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but don’t you find it—distasteful—attacking a war mother who lost her son, a son who died fighting for your right to critize and impune the dignity of his own mother? Me neither. I don’t have any shame or respect for a dead soldiers mother, either. You can tell just by looking at her, Sheehan could never, ever measure up to the likes of say, pretty little Laura Bush. I mean, Laura will never have to worry about any of her kids serving in the Armed Forces and ending up in a bodybag, huh?
But to tell you the truth, Red, that crappy site you mentioned sounds just plain-assed lame, you know? You need some shit, man.
September 27th, 2005 at 6:19 pmIs that the same laura bush who MURDERED her boyfriend when she was a teenager? Yeah, that’s the one. Fine christian woman! She only murders in the name of god, and by god her boyfriend made her mad!
September 27th, 2005 at 6:23 pmThe blatant homophobia of many of the posts is repulsive.
A fine lot of “liberals”.
Yes, Jeff Gannon is/was a sleazy mouthpiece for a partisan rag. But his sexuality should not enter into it.
If this is what liberalism has sunk to, then let me out.
September 27th, 2005 at 6:58 pmLiberalism has not “sunk” to anything. I am sorry if you are offended. Jeff Gannon is sleazy, as you know, and were he a hetero he would be subjected to ridicule just the same.
September 27th, 2005 at 7:06 pm#22
His being a whore has everything to do with Gannon’s credibility and ethics. I’m gay and find him to be completely disqusting — and his flabby man-boobs don’t do much for me either.
September 27th, 2005 at 7:13 pm#22 – Hold on there, Cowboy. Don’t you find it the least bit interesting that there’s a certain tension between what the ReichWingNut Wack-jobs say and what they do?
In King George’s case, he panders to the RightWingChristianEvangelicals who publically hate homosexuals. Then George the Stupid turns around and invites this Gannon fellow into the WhiteHouse for overnight stays. The only person to spend all 13 recorded nights? Georgie-Boy himself. The facts are all there for anyone to see.
Irony? You betcha.
And it says nothing about how I feel about gays or their rights.
September 27th, 2005 at 7:18 pm“The blatant homophobia of many of the posts is repulsive.

That’s rich! Homophobia? We don’t care if he’s gay, we care that he’s a hooker who had access to the press corps. We care that he’s an utter hypocrit who attacked gay rights as a closeted gay men. Get a clue you stupid dope!
September 27th, 2005 at 7:29 pmJesus,
Well we knew george would fall of the alcohol bandwagon, but I always suspected that the Worthy Creations Ex-Gay programming would eventually fail. Clearly Gannon’s visits corresponding with the timelines would indicate that as a distinct possibility…
Do you have a link to the two timelines? I have an old link of the Gannon timeline I know I can dig up somewhere, but if it’s convenient for you to post, that would be great!
September 27th, 2005 at 7:55 pmSteve #22: I got four things to say in response: 23, 24, 25, 26.
But correct me if I’m wrong, but the only homophobics I have seen around here are trolls with their foul mouths. As for me, being a redneck, rightwing, conservative myself, I just can’t help but echo the sentiments of my family values president.
September 27th, 2005 at 8:39 pmThe attacks on liberals for not being tolerant, or liberals being racist, or liberals being homophobic is the same tactic white separatists (KKK / aryan nation) often use against black people.
“Very typically these days we see white supremacists, hate groups, trying to use the words of King and other civil rights leaders to try to advance their agendas,”
This is also true of the attacks that the reichwing uses against liberals throughout this blog. While they increase poverty and effectively create a modern slave class, they claim liberals who consistently work to reverse this effort and bring economic self reliance to minorities are ‘racist’. This claim is beyond baseless, it is obscene!
When liberals who decry homophobic gay men who attack other gay people as hypocrits – we are attacked as ‘homophobes’ for criticizing their homophobia! It’s beyond obscene, it’s psychotic!
And yet this is what minorities and women must deal with daily. An ever radical, entrenched and extermist movement who’s goal is to strip equality, civil liberties and opportunities from everyone but their cronies and the party loyalists. It sounds way to mao’s china for my taste! The one party system may work there, but here it’s just unacceptable!
September 27th, 2005 at 9:06 pm400 is complete horseshit. Did you see this rally on C-SPAN? There were more people on the stage than in the audience. 100 TOPS. 400 my ass.
September 27th, 2005 at 10:41 pmI’m curious, what “role” was Gannon playing when at the rally?
~Gay conservative?
September 27th, 2005 at 10:48 pm~Activist prostitute?
~Fake White House news reporter?
~Pornographer?
~D-list celebrity paid to be there?
~Just another moronic dittohead?
~All of the above?
#27 – Ryan, here you go:

That should get things started. :-)
September 28th, 2005 at 11:58 amyou people are too much!
September 28th, 2005 at 12:28 pmSaying the anti-war rally had only 100,000 is bull. I’m gonna say that that rally got double that, and even then its probably still too low. But that 400 number is a steaming load. Not a chance. 200, if that. Which just goes to show you how popular this war and the presidency is. I see Bush sliding into 35 by the end of November. Thats when all the Northen people get to see their energy bills go up 60 percent.
