forsythHow did an obvious Republican operative from an unheard-of news outlet who uses a pseudonym - yeah, 'Jeff Gannon' isn't even his real name - and who looks as though he runs a gay prostitution ring in his spare time ever get credentials to cover the White House?
A guy with a fake name gets White House press credentials and asks President Bush softball, loaded partisan questions at press conferences. And his news organization is a conservative propaganda construct.
Holy bloody hell, you've got to be kidding me. Bribing pundits with taxpayer money, fake reporters with White House credentials... These people have no respect for the American People or the truth, do they? Holy hell. Remember when lying about sex was enough to get a president impeached? I mean, it's like they don't even CARE about getting caught any more.
