Gannon never became a "reporter." Anyone with an ounce of objectivity can see that.

It will not do any conservative any good to take this guy's part - and most folks here have the stones to admit that. While y'all are whining about the "attacks" on Gannon, why not stop and think about how geared up you would be if a male prostitute was regularly admitted into the CLINTON WH press room after being denied Capitol Hill credentials and did nothing but lob t-ball questions whenever the going got a little rough for Lockhart. Think about it, and be honest with yourself about what you would be saying and doing. Then come back and explain why you think you should protest in this guy's corner.

Actually, I'd say they're the definite minority here.

Since when was being a hooker a private matter, unrelated to professional concerns? If it were to be discovered that I had at any time in my past sold that particular type of "service", I'd be fired in an instant. And that's regardless of whether I had an actual criminal record.

I wonder what types of questions Gannon would have had to answer from the FBI if he had applied for a "hard pass"?(What an awful term in this context!) Isn't lying to an FBI agent a crime? Is that why he serially renewed a daily pass for two years?

That's odd of you to say, since I've been reading his Talon News articles for some time, long before this all came up.

I'm sorry, it might be helpful if you could you remind us all of how we reacted to the NJ Governor's pal?

But that's different.

Thank you! And I love the earlier posters who suggest that "this" could have happened to any of us. Any of us, that is, who posed in extremely flagrante photos on gay porn websites. Those are conservatives we can do without.

Wow, intellectual honesty. Getting harder and harder to find these days!
