File Under: Takes One To Know One
The fact that Jeff Gannon does not get the irony here makes his latest
antic all the more laughable — and pathetic.<bold><fontfamily><param>Arial</param><bigger><bigger><bigger>

<bold>PageOneQ.com </bold>— Former White House journalist Jeff Gannon
posted a blog entry on the cancellation of Ron Reagan Jr.'s television
show on MSNBC. In the post, Gannon refers to the TV host and son of
the nation's 40th President as "twinkle toes" and as a "nancy boy."
Gannon also calls Reagan, Jr. a "disgrace" to his namesake father.
With Reagan, Jr. no longer hosting a show on the network, Gannon mused
that perhaps anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan would host a show on what
he called the "worst cable news network."

<bold>Nancy's nancy boy nixed
</bold> Ron Reagan, Jr., the embarassment [sic] that bears the name of
one of the greatest American presidents is out of a job after his
daytime talk show was mercifully cancelled last week. MSNBC put Reagan
in the host's chair as the result of his election year masquerade as a
"journalist" (btw, Twinkle-toes, what's YOUR journalism background?)
proved to be a "stick in the eye" to those who revere his father.
Who will be next to have a show on the worst cable news network,
Cindy Sheehan? Sooner or later, it will be her turn.

Reagan, Jr.'s credentials as a journalist, was exposed as a plagiarist
