Thanks. That seemed like the most likely answer. Most libs use that point as evidence of a vast Rovian plot--a plot so all-encompassing, so diabolical, it appears in the short term to be utterly pointless. Yes, the mighty Rove will use a conservative reporter to some little-known website to brainwash the world!

Did you ever watch Freakazoid? The libs' Gannongate theory reminds me of that episode in which that Evil Professor designed a fog machine, and used it to transform the residents of an isolated Swiss hamlet into clowns who could only talk by honking their noses. Brilliant and yet...dumb.

Has "Wolf Blitzer" ever attended White House briefings? After all, he works for an openly partisan "news" organization, and that can't be his "real" name!

They should talk to Dan Rather on the ramifications of beating a story to death.

That's a terrific idea, IMO. We should do some through deep research on all the White House press corps!

Slaughter and Conyers.....together their IQ's don't make a FEVER. Are there ANY dumber critters in the House than these two, now that Boxer and Wyden are in the Senate.

Liberals only defend homosexuality of other libs. Same goes for minorities. Bring on the Aunt Jemima and Uncle Tom jokes, anything goes for conservative minorities...

Whatever happened to Ex-Gov. McGreevey? I bet the liberals defended that homo crook to the end of the earth.

Am I mistaken, or is that old hag Helen Thomas just an editorialist? I don't recall the old sac of pus reporting from Iraq, or elsewhere. What gives her the right to sit in on Q&A?

It's not a big deal, the RATS are trying to make it a big deal to look like bigger hypocrits than they already are. They keep shooting themselves in the foot and seem to be enjoying it.

Liberals are acting like normal people act when someone without credentials is caught with top secret national security documents.

This guy was in a position to "ask the President questions". Why is that activity, in the left's perspective, what a spy getting caught having access to national secrets is to the right?

Pick some of the more far left journalists who have been at White House press conferences through the years

Helen Thomas is really Jabba the Hut in drag.

The MSM is kinda quiet about this, perhaps they don't want their undie drawer gone though.

I'm still waiting to find out who hired Craig Livingstone to be the head of White House security!

To be fair though, Craig Livingstone was only given access to secret FBI files on enemy Republicans, whereas columnist James Guckert was allowed to ask questions in the White House Press Room. You see, there's really no comparison.

Not that there is anything wrong with that!/sarcasm

The sites they are refering to had been shut down and needed a special search engine to find.

Source FR link

AmericaBLOG’s John Aravosis has discovered previous images of the site through an Internet service which keeps records of sites that have been taken down

" Has anyone started exploring the backgrounds of various lib reporters who have had White House access through the years?? "

The news orgs that sponsor White House correspondents are pretty cagey with their reporters bios.
The Washington Post has a list of the WH correspondents
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/politics/administration/whbriefing/correspondents.html

If a reporter has a journalism degree, that info is forthcoming. Otherwise, it seems the educational background of most correspondents is vague.
When a bio is officially listed, their background can be anything from English literature to philosophy , with an occasional journalism degree.
No official mention of the correspondents sexual orientation, history of renting x rated videos , extra marital affairs and/or familiarity with prostitutes.

99.9% of Hollyweird lefties should be summoned before congress to explain why they all have phony names. Do they pay taxes and child support under their real names, or their made up ones?

Good idea. Could also look at the questions they asked Bubba to see if they were any softball questions.....maybe it's just me, but I have a sneaking suspicion there may have been one or two ;-)
