By ADVOCATE STAFF CBS has put (once again) its credibility on the line and speculated that Karl Rove is the man responsible for bringing Jeff Gannon (James Guckert) into the White House. Now, why would they say a thing like that? Is it because Rove controls everything in the White House down to the lifespan of houseplants in the West Wing? Or because it's a near certainty that, beyond the two men meeting at a White House Christmas party--as Gannon has already asserted--Rove and the ex-Talon News "reporter" have likely crossed paths on other occasions, too? Well, let's see. Karl Rove is a graduate of Morton C. Blackwell's Leadership Institute. So is Jeff Gannon. Rove went to the Institute's "Youth Leadership School," graduating from that grist-mill of conservative quackery in 1979. Gannon went to the Institute's "Broadcast Journalism School," graduating (to the extent $50 in cash enabled that "achievement") in 2003. Both "schools" cost substantially less than a bargain-basement television set, and provide approximately the same degree of instruction in critical thinking. [See website]. The Leadership Institute Gannon (and Rove) graduated from has an Employment Placement Service/Intern Program which, according to the Institute's solicitation to prospective "students," "open[s] doors for you which would otherwise remain shut." And how! The "Intern Program" boasts "weekly private dinners with Washington VIPs," including (as a sampling, from the website) Fox News commentators, Reagan Administration officials, former Republican U.S. Attorneys General, and sitting U.S. Members of Congress (e.g., Representative Tom DeLay [R-TX]; former House Majority Leader, Dick Armey [R-TX]). And perhaps -- [gasp] -- former graduates of the Institute, like Karl Rove? Hell, if "The Texas Hammer" can make time for old friend Morton C. Blackwell, why can't "the boy genius"? After all, doesn't Blackwell serve with Rove on the Advisory Board for the Ronald Reagan Legacy Project? Didn't Blackwell, according to the conservative Washington Times, "train" Rove to become the virulent little blackguard he is today? Says the Institute's website, "on a weekly basis our interns meet with some of the conservative movement's top 'movers and shakers.' These dinners are prepared and served to our interns and their private guest." The Institute also crows about the fact that, each week, "[Institute] interns correspond with, meet, and have dinner with top conservative leaders. From Congressmen to Supreme Court Justices to heads of major public policy groups, interns receive personal mentoring on how to achieve success and make a difference in government, politics, and the media....[i]n addition to weekly speaker nights arranged by the Leadership Institute, interns are encouraged to attend issue briefings by other conservative organizations like the Cato Institute and the Heritage Foundation." "Make a difference in the media" -- indeed! And speaking of cushy internships, how about Jeff Gannon's "volunteer" position as a "reporter" for GOPUSA, which he acquired despite having no journalistic experience whatsoever? [According to Daily Kos, the CEO of one of GOPUSA's sponsors, Campaign Secrets' Mark Montini, is also the Vice President for Programs at -- you guessed it -- The Leadership Institute. And if you check out the GOPUSA website, you can see that the only event on the GOPUSA "calendar" is a late September 2004 Silver Anniversary Gala for the Leadership Institute, featuring "special appearances by Leadership Institute graduates who have become star leaders over the past twenty-five years." Hmm, like Rove?]. And what if employers -- or, say, White House staffers, like Karl Rove -- want to find someone to "do a job" for them? Easy! According to the website's entreaty to prospective employers of Institute graduates (see here), "[the Institute's] free conservative job bank provides a pool of applicants from which to hire qualified candidates. Resumes arrive within 24 hours, so you can begin to fill open positions immediately. Our prospective candidates can fill every position from chief-of-staff to press secretary. We curb the frustration factor by supplying all the necessary information to make your selection process easier." Wow! Are you saying you can find a high-priced gay prostitute with an eerie military fetish to pose for more than two years as a credible White House "journalist" in less than twenty-four hours? Oh Mort, you devil! Imagine that: all it would have taken Rove was a single phone call or a click of the mouse to get hooked up with (no pun intended) journalist/prostitute (or is that "prostitute/journalist"?) Jeff Gannon/James Dale Guckert.

Ashe wanted to rename Gay Street to "Gay Way" As you have noted before "Not that there's anything wrong with that". My mother has remarked in the past that the only thing she holds against gays is what they did to word she once enjoyed. All I can say is, this is resembling the Fall of Rome, more and more.
I agree.. someone told me to reread the 1st Chapter of Romans.. "For although they knew God, they neither glorified him, nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened... Althought they claimed to be wise, they became fools. Therefore, God gave them over in the sinful desires of their heart to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things instead of their Creator...who is forever praised, Amen. Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. And the women exchanged their natural relations for unnatural ones. In the same way, men abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with one another. Men commited indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion. Furthermore, since they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, he gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done. They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, and malice. They are gossips, slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant, and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; they are senseless, faithless, heartless, and ruthless. Although they know God's righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them. "
KKKarl Rove is not married nor has he ever married...
Hmm according to his bio he has been married twice?
Zip has researched this issue thoroughly. In fact, she’s still digging up gems. It's our opinion that Rove is as gay as a June bug, and his marriage is front. Have you ever seen such a pack of pervs?
I sent Zip an email last night with an article about this Jeff Geek.......it noted that he had a radio show on his web page....with Righttalk.com. In all the postings of late about TOS1, it was brought up that BoobJ has a tagline that says something about Righttalk.com being an alternative to National Public Radio. I don't know, nor much care about his tagline nor even that there is or isn't a current radio show produced by the jerk 'independent of TOS1', but if so, it could be that his FRN cash register runs his radio show from that place now. For anyone who never, ever, knew or heard anything about Boob J, it is my firm belief, based on his postings and listening to him on Firetalk, that he would sell his own Mom out in a heartbeat in order to get close to the center of action--in this case, he's the obsessed one about the gop........and involved with changing the heart and mind of the father of TOS1. Just a little 'dot' out there to be connected at some point I would imagine!
Zip's not alone. Many of us have been following DailyKos's revelations about Gannon on a daily/hourly basis.
I did 2 radio shows for Bob's network. I was yanked after a frank discussion of the NWO and the uselessness of the GOP’ers as an alternative. Your assessment is dead on. tFR is part of the political three card Monte game this nation is treated to. After the MFJ, it was all downhill for TOS.
I forgot to mention AmericaBlog as another good source on Gannon.
I stand corrected (and while I'm up I'll get some more wood for the fireplace)!!! Rove married a young woman named Valerie Wainright, whose family was in the Bush social circle in Houston. (The marriage didn't last long, and Rove remarried in 1986; he and his wife, Darby, have one son.)
First the late night jokes, but perhaps a congressional investigation to follow? In the Bill Maher quick time video Zip posted, Joe Biden intimated as much. The key will be for the media to keep the story alive. Frank Rich's piece in today's NYT will help. I bet he’ll be on Imus (MSNBC) tomorrow. He and Maureen Dowd often are after such articles. And all this coming on the heels of the payoff to Armstrong Williams and other 'conservative' flack journalists, makes it a hot commodity. Frankly, Clinton was impeached for less.
Excellent point. Even Nixon's sins did not add up to this. And, I have memory of the CIA being worried about JFK's East German girlfriend. Biden says he wants an investigation, we'll see if it amounts to anything. I think Gannon's mouth is his worst enemy and greatest liability. He can't seem to keep it shut. Watch him turn up in a bad car accident, or maybe an overdose.
I agree. If he had an active brain cell, he'd let this thing die slow death. By insinuating he's going to sue David Brock, he's only helping to keep this news worthy. I had a hunch Bush would face impeachment in his second term. Maybe?
Only if 1/10th of the truth can get dispensed to the sheeple.
Gay facts and fantasies in Propagannon research An insightful look (by an insider) into a world probably none of us really know anything about (from DailyKos).
This particular blog at DailyKos, Gay facts and fantasies in Propagannon research is a revealing read, that may be pointing to a bigger story than just Gannon.
Don't worry. Eventually even the gays will have to change their label. Think about how the young kids are using the term: "What they did to the word 'gay' is like, totally gay!" In today's kid's slang gay=lame.
I've got some reading to do. I just read 10 mins, and it's fascinating. I also believe every word. I hope this takes Bush down.
Really an interesting read. Of course, most of us can figure out the wimpy wrist syndrome, but this blogger sheds a lot more light, right down to how reporters/journalists give subtle hints, and with the explanation. The whole gay issue is something else again....... 1) don't ask, don't tell 2) aids czars who are queer 3) defense department liaison queer (cna't remember title or name) 4) the ambassador and his queer partner to ? [yikes, blonde moments! Was it the Vatican, Poland, or ?] 5) richard drier story in californicate 6) the texas gays as indicated/suggested in that blog 7) cheney's queer daughter 8) the arizona rep--kolbe--who can get a speaker's spot at the republocrap convention, while a more conservative person, i.e., keyes, buchanan, shaflay get the boot, er kick in the teeth with a boot! 9) amend the constitution to define something as simple as marriage Geeze........don't it make you wonder? Cher's daughter Chastity is queer and conservative sheeple rant, rave, scream, deride vs cheney's daughter being queer and they applaud that while demonizing anyone who would speak of the person in any way, shape, or form. Frankly, I've seen way too many of the repuglocraps that seem limp-wristed! I know they have no spine! Nor testicles! Nor masculine hormones! The best thing they can hold up is 'a limp wrist'!!! Phew in all regards! Hypocritical bastids.

From the link you provided was a link to this: We repeat: Talon News was created by Bobby Eberle to create a journalistic "haven" for Jeff Gannon (James Guckert), who had already been allowed into the White House in violation of White House regulations, which require any "reporter" to be associated with a valid journalistic enterprise. This is the smoking gun. The blogosphere must turn its attention to Eberle to figure out why the Republican community is suddenly hanging him out to dry, through patently dishonest denials about knowing him.
Also, this is Bobby Eberle from the GOPUSA site:
The ones that could take Bush down are the gays themselves.. they know the scoop..and the skeletons in this closet..
And the more that drip, drip, drips out over the next few weeks will sicken a lot of sheeple.......you know the ones, the right wing christians who count on the liar in chief to stop queers from marrying. Perhaps then, these sheeple will start to connect some dots--that 'their' guy ain't exactly what they've been led to believe. OTOH, they are generally too stupid to make connections.
From my experience they are unable to use reason and to think for themselves.. they are truly sheep.. or maybe those 'bobble' head figurines..
No, in the end this will wind up a story about how the horrible sodomites perpertrated fraud to damage the President.
Exactly and it perfectly coincides with Eze 18.. "this is the sin of your sister Sodom.."
Interesting statement from Daily Kos.. from the 'insider': My estimation is that a network of Texas Gays have been instrumental in Bush's rise to power and that a few of them just got very sloppy in a way that risks outing all of them. That's the reason why there's been this whole attempt to frame the issue as being about Gannon's personal life - they know perfectly well it's their OWN personal lives that that they're trying to protect. Again, it's NOT GANNON'S PERSONAL LIFE - IT"S THEIR OWN.
ROFL! You're gaydar is working ? :P
Satan hasn't had this much fun since the days of Noah - and you know how that story ended.
Noah got drunk and nekkid? ;)
Satan making an immediate play to gain the upper hand once more.
Very interesting. I am heterosexual, but I have had run-ins with this velvet mafia thing before. A kid that we took in while I lived in Boston was going out to the Playboy Club with a guy in the Red Sox organization. I said, he's gay, everybody knows that. He said, it's the PLAYBOY Club, he can't be gay. He was and the kid was 16 or so and he got "recruited," although I doubt someone truly straight can be recruited. The thing that struck me in this was the mention of CBGB's. I practically lived there during my college years (how I ever graduated with honors, I have no idea) and the public perception is that punk was really aggressively hetero. Actually, it was split between the really het bands like The Ramones and The Cramps and The Dead Boys, and pretty explicitly gay bands like Television, The Mumps and Wayne County. People like Danny Fields, who is a great guy and pretty much made punk rock with his work with the Stooges and the Ramones and a million other bands, really wielded the power, and they were almost all gay. That this guy knows this makes his theory more compelling. Contrary to popular belief, gay people are not ipso facto flaming liberals. They are on the whole a lot wealthier than straights and because a significant number are estranged from their families and have no families of their own, father figures, who are usually profoundly closeted, play a big role in the gay community. If you're a likely young man who got booted out of the house at 18, there are ways of getting college paid for. And a job at Lehman Bros. when you get out. By then, your provider will probably have moved on to a younger man, but he will still keep an eye out for you, as long as you never cross him. I think this guy's take is right. Gannon was a loose cannon. He slid in under the vetting process, and somehow got taken as one of those likely young men, when in fact, he was extremely out in his personal life. I crack up every time he or someone else says, oh, this is just using his homosexuality as a weapon to get at a wingnut (I will not call him a conservative, he's just plain nuts). This from a party that uses homosexuality as a campaign issue???? HAHAHAHA. If anyone lives in Pittsburgh, and has a lot of energy, a young DJ named Jeff Christie was arrested for soliciting an undercover police officer for homosexual sex in the city in about 1972. He was fired from his job shortly thereafter. His real name was Rush Limbaugh. He evidently paid a fine and left town. I think this might explain the three (or is it four) marriages with, um, zero kids and probably zero sex. I have friends who are very out gay, and they do fine. They know what industries will accept them (and it is a fairly wide scape, believe it or not), and they are pretty happy. I have a former friend who is vice-president of a large water utility, and he is the most bitter, closeted, hate-filled person I know. He is so desperate to hold on to his $200K that he has cut off relations with everyone who knows he is gay. I can just see him "mentoring" some young thing...
Interesting.. my take is the same re gays..at least from the ones I've known from dog shows... the ones that I know are not liberal and are financially well off.. well educated..they may be flaming but they are not flaming liberals.. quite conservative actually..
That pretty much sums it up.. if Gannon/Guckert is "hung" for this.. legally .. then he has a lot of people very nervous.. could take a lot of people with him..
Since Jeffy is a top, now we know how they met.
yep.. the only way this will go anywhere IMO is if the gay community has had enough of the hypocrisy.. and the constant attacking from the WH and stirring up the 'troops'.. they know the secrets.. so.. we'll see where this goes..
I've heard this rumor before, but never I've seen concrete evidence. If it exists, it would make good blackmail material. Contrary to popular belief, gay people are not ipso facto flaming liberals

This is a case where the internet, specifically DailyKos (including John Galt's interview), brought Gannon out in the open. Now MSM is trying to play catchup. Blumenthal's editorial "Midnight Cowboy in the Garden of Bush and Evil" is one of the better ones.
Gannon surely lied about seeing a top secret document that supposedly made Plame/Wilson liars. At a time, when Wilson was trying to get the real lies about uranium in Niger, that the Bush regime claimed made a case for invading Iraq. Jeff has done more than just pretended to be a journalist.
So, who paid him? Who gave Gannon state secrets, like the one he told the radio producer? This is serious stuff, but I fear it is being trivialized as a good joke.
