Gannon: I’m ‘the most honest’ White House reporter.»

Jeff Gannon, the infamous former male escort who for two years gained a White House press pass using a pseudonym, is releasing a book next week, in which he chronicles what he sees as liberal bias in the White House press corps. “In my mind, I was the most honest reporter [in the White House press corps] because I was absolutely transparent with regards to my [conservative] perspective,” Gannon told the Washington Examiner. “My work has never been discredited.”

    If he “spilled the beans” I’d be tempted to lay out a couple of shekels for this.


  2. TP's Gone Conservo Says:

    My work has never been discredited.”

    Really but your name has, Mr. James Guckert


  3. Krazny Says:

    Honest except about his name, and occupation.


  4. BushToPayForHisSins? Says:

    Ha ha ha… gods, that guy makes me laugh… the King George’s own sex toy the most honest?… oh gods… I can’t breath, I’m laughing so hard…


  5. Concerned Citizen Says:

    How is Mr. Gannon making a living? Is he even employable?

    I’m concerned about his welfare.


  6. detroitsuperfly Says:

    The only reason that whore hasn’t been discredited is cause nobody has ever heard of the source he wrote for.


  7. Keith Says:

    His work was nothing but cutting and pasting without sourcing—sometimes known as plaigarism. He couldn’t even recognize a Limbaugh joke and would report it as true.

    His education was as a PE teacher. His work experience was as alcholic beverage deliverer.


  8. hellinabucket Says:

    And Craig is the straightest Senator.


  9. dim wit Says:

    Nice logic:
    “I’m conservative and I have a conservative bias, but since I admit it, I am better than everyone else.”
    Apparently escorting isn’t paying the bills anymore and this db had to write a book.


  10. hellinabucket Says:

    And Gonzales was the finest AG.


  11. Dermot Says:

    His real job was blowing the WH under cover of reporting


  12. hellinabucket Says:

    And GW is the best President


  13. Keith Says:

    I believe he was the only “reporter” for Talon News Service and they closed when the scandal came out.


  14. Keith Says:

    He liked to imply that he was ex-military, but that was a lie.


  15. hellinabucket Says:

    in his mind he is 8″ cut


  16. Brian Donohue Says:

    Speaking of the most honest reporters in Washington, I’m sure Stewart and Oliver are grateful to this guy: expect to see an entire Daily Show segment built around this.


  17. Dermot Says:

    They probably had coded words that Bush or staff would say during a press conference to let Gannon know what they wanted that day - 2 BJs. Gannon probably responded with coded questions indicating the going price that day.


  18. RUCerious Says:

    Cue daryll, defending Mr Gucker/Gannon…


  19. billjpa Says:

    See, if he really cared he would have contacted Sen. Craig and showed him ways to relieve himself without having to spend time in Airport restrooms!
    That would have been Patriotic!!!!!


  20. Dermot Says:

    He says he’s been writing his book for 5 years and hasn’t interviewed anyone - just uses the internet as his source material -

    sounds like his reporting - totally fake


  21. Marie Says:

    Honesty in being a blatant Republican shill, and totally dishonest in every other aspect of his life.


  22. Bob Says:

    Homosexuals Larry Criag, Gannon, Barney Frank, Democrat homosexual Congressman Gerry Studs, Foley really are peverted.


  23. cognitorex Says:

    Per Gannon’s rule, Dick Cheney is the most honest DC denizen. Let’s face it, he never even remotely attempts to spin something as truth.
    Cheney just in your face lips all curled throws out his big fatties with not even a wave at the truth.
    “I’m lying”he says.”You know it, I know it, piss off.”
    That’s honesty in DC.


  24. TP's Gone Conservo Says:

    Funny how he and Ari are in the news after both took long absences from pubic er public. So now the question is when will Scott McClellan appear on TV?


  25. Democrat Soldier Says:

    “My work has never been discredited.” Well, open his “escort” records and see if he ever had to give a refund for failure to “rise to the occasion”. . . .

    I’m sure, as an up-standing Republican, conservative closet-case, he’s quite proud of his past actions. Why not show off all the pics of him on his knees “praying”?


  26. Dermot Says:

    The perversion is in the lying and deception not in the consensual acts


  27. Foot tapper Says:

    Hey leave us good homosexuals out of this please.


  28. Almighty Latin Kings Nations Says:

    The Tolerance of the Left!
    You guys are a self righteous hypocrites!


  29. Arn Gunnutes Says:

    So, “Jeff”, since you are so “honest”, care to tell us what you did for the 80+ nights that you DIDN’T sign out of the White House??

    The White House trumped the Secret Service, and said that the records are NO LONGER subject to public disclosure…


  30. Peter C Says:

    I’m guessing what he’s saying is that everyone knows HE’S a whore, but none of the rest of the White House Press core is admitiing it. So that makes him more honest than the rest.


  31. joe cantwell Says:

    “the most honest…”

    ?


  32. Dermot Says:

    Tales of a 1,000 and one nights

    If Gannon could write - he should write that book.

    He could show that the WH is stuffed with closeted homosexuals starting with the President
    - and two of the most prominent of them have just exited stage left


  33. Fan_of_Man Says:

    he lied about who he was or was he saying all “cons” are fags?


  34. dlet Says:

    Gannon: “Mr. President, what makes you so great?”

    Who can discredit that? Top-notch reporting there poser-boy.


  35. NoOneYouKnow Says:

    His work has never been discredited because there’s no one to complain to about a mediocre blowjob. Although maybe we could set up an agency so the Rethugs could make anonymous complaints.


  36. Bob Says:

    In your mind you are a cross dresser! Why haven’t charges been brought up against this fool!


  38. KestrelBrighteyes Says:

    Now wouldn’t JimmyJeff’s book be just the PERFECT impeachment present for the Decider?

    President: See me later Jeff and I’ll show you


  40. david Says:

    # 6 The only reason that whore hasn’t been discredited is cause nobody has ever heard of the source he wrote for.

    I think it was called the “Talon News.” I only know this because I’ve become entertained by the the “newer site,” GOPUSA. Check it out if you haven’t…pretty funny. I done got banned.

    Comment by Arn Gunnutes — August 28, 2007 @ 2:48 pm

    Great question Arn. I would like to know why as well.


  42. General Chaos Says:

    I agree with Gannon on one thing. He holds today’s typical conservative perspective - the perspective of a gay-bottom male escort. At least he’s come to grips with his “conservatism”. If Bush had, instead of trying to prove his “manliness” in his designer fatigues, we wouldn’t be at war today.


  43. Amyl Nitrate Says:

    President: I’ll take some questions now. Jeff you look like you have a big one.

    Jeff: Mr. President what makes you so great?

    President: Good question Jeff. I could not answer that in a few minutes. See me later for the details.


  44. VerbalKint Says:

    Wow, this guy is as crazy as the trolls around here. Why are “conservatives” such screwed up people?


  45. Bacon...You likeee? Says:

    I believe his pseudonym was “ronjazz”.

    No such thing NEXT!!!! hehehe


  47. Amyl Nitrate Says:

    Rovian recommendations for Bush on how to handle questions about sex and the White House

    Reporter: In light of President Clinton’s sexual peccadillos, what do you have to say about having sex with women in the White House?

    President: Well, I can say with confidence that the only woman i’ve had sex with in the White House is Laura, my wife.

    Reporter: Thank you for clarifying that.


  48. Japaner Says:

    Rovian recommendations for Bush on how to handle questions about sex and the White House

    “Just follow the lead of the Clinton administration and lie…or stuff the relevant documents down your pants and in your socks”.

    Comment by Bob

    Right. Because it would SEEM that Bush or someone in his group was using a GAY PROSTITUTE in the White House.

    Probably Bush, the “husband” of Condi…

    BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!


  50. Vice President Bush Says:

    Conservatives must be from Bizarro World.

    A guy who operates under a false name for years considers himself the most honest reporter. The Cheney Administration denies saying things which are ON TAPE. Congressmen scream and holler about the dangers of homosexuality and then leave work to hook up with male prostitutes and solicit sex in public bathrooms.

    Good god these people are sick.


  51. Marie Says:

    Certainly, homosexuals are not immoral and do not deserve scorn.
    It is the perverts, the deviants, the pedophiles, the adulterers, the self-appointed moral arbiters for the rest of us who deserve the hell they inevitably bring upon themselves.
    I hear Craig is going to address the press today.
    I also heard that his sexuality has been a well-known “secret” in D.C. and there are a few others who don’t come out because their political life depends on living a lie: McConnell, Graham. (Rep. Drier is commonly recognized as in the closet.)
    We all learned early on that “honesty is the best policy,” but hypocrites cannot abide that.
    If you are not honest, you have to be a very good liar - that takes up a lot of energy, planning and forethought. Be honest - it’s easier.


  52. Amyl Nitrate Says:

    Japaner

    Maybe you should remove your tin foil had and reread my post. The operative word there was ‘woman’. The only ‘woman’ he had sex with. Get it???

    If not, just put your hat back on and go back to watching Hannity


  53. Japaner Says:

    Good god these people are sick.

    What? Are you some sort of Bible-thumping rightwing hick?


  54. upside00 Says:

    Comment by Amyl Nitrate — August 28, 2007 @ 3:07 pm

    Notice the operative “woman” here, which probably makes that statement true. (Unless Jeffy G. in a dress would count as a “woman”.)


  55. Arn Gunnutes Says:

    “Just follow the lead of the Clinton administration and lie…or stuff the relevant documents down your pants and in your socks”.

    Comment by Japaner

    Or LIE about the exposure of a CIA WMD expert. And obstruct justice like Libby.

    The “president” will pardon you.

    Just like his DADDY pardoned the Iran/Contra TERRORISTS and INTERNATIONAL TERRORIST Orlando Bosch…


  56. Starve-A-Bush_Feed-A-Beaver Says:

    What was his website called again? “hotmilitarystud.com” or something like that?


  57. Japaner Says:

    The only ‘woman’ he had sex with. Get it???

    Yeah yeah, I get it! Humorous AND witty, you should write a book.

    Im laughing on the inside…really I am.


  58. Amyl Nitrate Says:

    Be honest - it’s easier

    Except closeted homosexuals are easier to control with money. Ever wonder why there are so many in the closet on the Hill. They’ve traded truth for power and money.


  59. Japaner Says:

    The “president” will pardon you.

    Have you bothered to research who Clinton pardoned? No? Go figure.


  60. Vice President Bush Says:

    I’m saying conservatives are a bunch of pole-smoking closet cases.


  61. upside00 Says:

    Comment by Amyl Nitrate — August 28, 2007 @ 3:12 pm

    I laid my post down beoore I read your response. At least I interpreted your original post correctly.


  62. Japaner Says:

    I’m saying conservatives are a bunch of pole-smoking closet cases.
    Comment by Vice President Bush — August 28, 2007 @ 3:16 pm

    Then again you believe the Mossad carried out 911 and Cheney has a weather machine.

    Where is my salt, I need a few grains?


  63. Amyl Nitrate Says:

    That’s not salt Japaner, that’s amyl nitrate.


  64. dlet Says:

    Comment by Japaner

    Clinton pardoned a top aide? He didn’t? Clinton didn’t do it too? Oh my….not what will you do?


  65. Amyl Nitrate Says:

    upside00

    Obviously great minds think alike.


  66. Egreggious Says:

    Commuted the sentence, not pardoned.

    Just want to keep us all honest here.


  67. joe cantwell Says:

    Comment by Japaner — August 28, 2007 @ 3:18 pm

    as a repub shouldn’t you be asking directions to the men’s room…?

    eh?


  68. Amyl Nitrate Says:

    Maybe Japaner is blogging from the men’s room


  69. A Patriot Acting Says:

    Japaner-

    Clinton didn’t pardon anyone IN HIS ADMINISTRATION. Much less someone who could IMPLICATE HIM in a treasonous crime! Jeez, when will you repugs learn the difference. Yeah, yeah Clinton got a bj and pardoned a millionaire. At least he didn’t wipe his ass with the Constitution and put national security at risk you idiot!


  70. upside00 Says:

    Maybe Japaner is blogging from the men’s room

    Comment by Amyl Nitrate — August 28, 2007 @ 3:24 pm

    Or flogging, …….. maybe both.


  71. Amyl Nitrate Says:

    At least he didn’t bomb Bosnia

    Whoops - he did do that


  72. Marco Says:

    Reality - Gannon/Guckert is a lying prostitute, non-journalist and frequent White House visitor who won’t comment on his special visits.

    Troll Reality - Clinton did it.

    No wonder people are jumpring off the sinking S.S. Conservatard.


  73. joe cantwell Says:

    Comment by Amyl Nitrate — August 28, 2007 @ 3:24 pm

    he’s got his lap top with him in his stall. tap, tap, tapping out his message of neo con drivel… and searching for a “friend”.


  74. dlet Says:

    Japaner is a toe-tapper.


  75. Arn Gunnutes Says:

    The “president” will pardon you.

    Have you bothered to research who Clinton pardoned? No? Go figure.

    Comment by Japaner

    Wrong, TREASON-breath!!

    Marc Rich, a Rapeublican, whose lawyer was Scooter Libby, for one.

    And I’m glad you realize that DADDY Bush pardoned the Iran/Contra TERRORISTS and INTERNATIONAL TERRORIST Orlando Bosch.


  76. Vice President Bush Says:

    Japaner is a toe-tapper.

    Oh he’s definitely posting wirelessly from Stall #3 at O’Hare.


  77. myiq2xu Says:

    In my mind, I’m a sex god and a billionaire.


  78. veritas Says:

    Here it comes….Unbelievably, as if on cue, Gannon/Guckert, the male prostitute comes forth! For openers, what’s with the name change by Bush from Guckert to Gannon? Too gutteral, perhaps? And since when is a porno star a member of the white house press corps?

    Here comes the avalanche of the reason why Bush suddenly classified the white house visitor logs……..as we’ve thought…..it’s all coming crashing down.


  79. veritas Says:

    This may be the worst week of the Bush white house yet!


  80. Vice President Bush Says:

    It’s Cheney’s house, I just live in it.


  81. veritas Says:

    “the most honest reporter?” - is he kidding? Using a pseudonym somehow displays a level of honesty? Au contraire, Jeffy Lube. You can bet that there’s more coming down the pike for Bush to be concerned about. Maybe Jeffy Lube had an “in” with Gonzo? Who knows…but the coincidence is rather astounding, isn’t it?


  82. joe cantwell Says:

    japaner? japaner?


  83. Vice President Bush Says:

    japaner? japaner?

    He’s… um… busy


  84. Vice President Bush Says:

    wink wink


  85. HereinDC Says:

    .

    The Washington Examiner is a rag that is given out free.
    It’s a Right Wing Tabloid that has day old news.
    It’s delivered free up and down the streets of many households here in DC.
    No one reads it.
    Most neighbors just leave the paper in it’s plastic bag and throw it away.
    The paper piles up in front of rented houses and group homes.
    The poor woman at the top of the Metro stop can’t even give them away.

    funny how THIS is the paper he gives an interview to.

    .


  86. Menehune Says:

    “in his mind” he’s the most honest reporter. Says it all.


  87. wijg Says:

    Hey Guggert, your 15 minutes are up.


  88. isis Says:

    The people deserve to know the whole truth about Jeffy Lube regardless of whom it will indict. It’s clear that he made close to a hundred nocturnal trips to the white house when there was no legitimate meeting taking place for the press corp. When people began to see that JeffyLube entered but failed to exit, King George decided to make the visitor logs classified. hmmmmm???? What is he hiding?

    Maybe Jeffy’s “tell all book” will be the final indicting piece for impeachment of both Bush and Cheney? Inquiring minds want to know and will learn the truth at long last.


  89. isis Says:

    To imply that someone who has allowed his name to be changed from Guckert to Gannon and to be added to the press corp without credentials is the “most honest” one around is truly a remakable admission on it’s face. Perhaps he’s accurate since he’s clearly operating in a den of iniquity and wolves in sheep’s clothing….smoke & mirrors. If JeffyLube Guckert-Gannon is the best they’ve got, we’re in heap big trouble in this country.


  90. ForTruth Says:

    The confidence and disconnect from reality is astounding.


  91. Bob Says:

    Honest

    What does that word mean to Libtards?
    There are probable a thousand meaning to Libtards.

    In a Libtards mind there is no such thing as absolute truth and that’s the honest truth. :)

    Comment by Bob — August 28, 2007 @ 4:55 pm

    Scientists have few if any absolute truths as most of the world is N dimensional and no hypotheses can ever being proven to be 100% (absolute) as the possiblity of a different outcome always exists. Imagine being a liberal scientist. Let the absolute truths to the less thoughtful


  93. kuvasz Says:

    “In my mind, I was the most honest reporter [in the White House press corps”

    jeff gannon

    ho ho, in jeff’s mind being paid to have sex doesn’t make him a whore either


  94. kvb Says:

    Hi I’m Jeff Gannon from “the Flaming Truth” I had a few queth-chunssssss.


  95. kvb Says:

    People have a right to demand that their congressman aren’t having sex in public restrooms. I’m gay and I concede that.

    That said… anyone else who wants to have sex in public restrooms, it’s up to them. How many heteros get a kick from doing similar things in forbidden places. The MCA in Chicago has security cam footage of straight couples doing it on the steps of the museum after hours. Why is it wrong for gays, but dismissed with a wink and a chuckle for heteros?


  96. TerrytheTurtle Says:

    Oh I have to:

    Jeff, there’s a stall at Minny-St Paul, with your name ALL over it!


  97. Bodhittsatva Says:

    Please, this gay GOP thing has been going on for years.

  98. NeoCONS 'R' SCUM Says:

    japaner isn’t a toe-tapper, he just has a “wide stance”.
    and he has a mouth calibrated to a glory hole.



  99. impeachy keen Says:

    Wait– he’s a reporter? I thought he was an escort!
