Good find.. now isnt this interesting? Now the question, I wonder how well 'connected' Norquist was to Gannon?
Just last month Grover Norquist got married after all these years. If you look at who he married you might see where his loyalties lay.
That is very odd.. a Palestinian and a muslim? This makes NO sense does it.. considering his connections to the Rs..
http://www.islamicinstitute.org
I checked the 'about' page.. no names.. Seemed odd.. I wondered since Norquist had been single for so long if the marriage was rather like Limbaugh's marriages..
http://www.islamicinstitute.org/pressr/pr-2003-6-11.htm Scroll all the way down.
Interesting title by Norquist's bride: White House, Karl Rove denounces anti-Muslim bigotry. I was looking for the names of those who were on the board.. the leadership.. didnt find it .. it may be there but I didnt do a thorough search..
Here's something interesting:
And it gets more strange: Norquist's Wedding No official officiation Some eyebrows were raised last weekend when The Washington Post reported that Rabbi Daniel Lapin had presided over the wedding of conservative activist Grover Norquist and Samah Alrayyes -- since neither of the newlyweds is Jewish. But a spokesperson for Toward Tradition, the conservative political group Lapin leads, said the Orthodox rabbi merely introduced the couple at a celebration of the nuptials. Norquist and his bride were officially married by a justice of peace prior to the party.
Sure they were Rabbi ... ROFL !!
is that bizarre or what? A Palestinian muslim and Grover Norquist (who if you check the link on Norquist in the table, is being hinted at as being gay) being married by a rabbi? WTF?
Now how does 'Gannon' fit into all of this?
check this out: Grover Norquist Born:
19-Oct-1956 Gender: Male
Where is Sharon, PA? Near where Guckert/Gannon was in PA?
Here is something else interesting on Gannon and PA: Scott Baker, News Anchor, WTAE-Pittsburgh I’m the guy who taught Jeff Gannon everything he knows about journalism. Okay maybe not everything. I’m still not clear on (sorry all hyperlinks on this one freak me out) his evident self-description of “Position: Top.” Except that I now gather that it has endangered the nuptial bonds of Julia and Brad. But I suppose I bear some responsibility for having lectured at the two-day journalism seminar Gannon attended. Just when it seemed like the Gannon/Guckert story was about to fade away for lack of interest (something slightly less than the interest in “Topic A with Tina Brown”), along comes the new Vanity Fair to re-energize the matter when Gannon himself couldn’t even pull an invite to the White House Correspondents Association dinner. This is what I get for trying to teach a simple little seminar on media career strategies? Jeff Gannon as my star student? I had more modest goals. Most kids trying to dive into media careers fail miserably. So maybe I can nudge them with a few helpful ideas. Hoped for result: entry level job in, say, a small market television station. Not so hoped for: center square of odd journalism scandal. The Vanity Fair article calls it a seminar for “aspiring right-wing journalists.” My mantra to the students involves getting rid of the “right-wing” and esteeming the value of solid day-to-day journalism. Good old-fashioned storytelling. TV commercials for weight loss programs often have tiny disclaimers about the thin person in the ad. “Results not typical.” I’m kind of hoping this is like that. But with my luck Corey Clark will soon be claiming I’m the guru of his love life. Posted May 9, 2005 03:03 PM
And we come full circle back to FR: Right-wing activist organizations are, of course, frequently interlinked. But the connections between the Leadership Institute, Free Republic (and its web radio project, Free Republic Network, created by millionaire Domino's Pizza franchisee Bob Johnson), and GOPUSA/Talon News are especially rich and suggestive. In August 2002, for instance, the Leadership Institute offered media training at Friva, the Free Republic in Las Vegas conference. A number of Talon News personalities made regular appearances on Radio Free Republic webcasts; it seems likely that the Leadership Institute offered a pipeline into the Free Republic Network, which itself was meant as a waystation to acceptance in more mainstream media. Jeff Gannon, for that matter, is known to have co-hosted a Radio Free Republic webcast with Chuck Muth, a Republican political consultant and one of the Leadership Institute's most prominent and active educators. And Muth's connections may offer us a path directly to whoever in the White House signed off on Gannon.
