Trolling for a Date

I found this posted on AMERICAblog, the site that has been persistent and (responsibly) unrelenting in trying to blow the lid off the Jeff Gannon/White House Whore cover-up. The point the Washington Post makes about Jim/Jeff asserting he wishes to return to private life -- but still trying to squeeze every misguided moment of notoriety out of this -- is priceless.

For a few laughs, log on to AMERICAblog and read the hilarious comments people have posted regarding Gannon's use of the phrase "behind-the-scenes work."


From the Reliable Source -- the must-read gossip page of the Washington Post:

C'mon, Just a Few More Minutes of Fame?

-- Trolling for a date: James Guckert (aka Jeff Gannon) is angling for an invite to the gala White House Correspondents' Association Dinner in April, saying his recent notoriety qualifies him as a great guest. "There is still time," he told Editor & Publisher this week. "There is always someone there trying to make news. Maybe this year it is going to be me." He also revealed that he's trying to line up paid speaking gigs, telling the trade mag: "There are people who are definitely interested in some of my behind-the-scenes work in the press room."

--Yes, this is the same guy who, after being linked to gay escort sites a couple of weeks ago, posted on JeffGannon.com: "In consideration of the welfare of me and my family I have decided to return to private life."

--Meanwhile yesterday, Democratic Reps. John Conyers (Mich.) and Louise Slaughter (N.Y.) asked the Government Accountability Office to expand its investigation of illegal government propaganda efforts by looking into Guckert's work as a White House reporter for the Web sites Talon News and GOPUSA. They claimed the administration "gave prepacked print stories to Mr. Guckert, which he reprinted wholesale."
