I'm sorry. I just don't get why this is such a big deal.

Every day more questions are raised . . .

If this really bothers you, Louise, all you have to do is stop talking. Like magic, no more questions will be raised.

This Legend-of-Zelda-Gate requires a Congressional investigation, and the CBS fake memos, during a presidential election season, does not. Right.

As I see it, Gannon's crimes were:
1) Writing under a pseudonym. Yawn.
2) Being biased. Openly. No problem here, at least he's honest.
3) Having a questionable past. But how does that affect his journalistic career? Sure he's not squeakly clean, but he's not posing as a reverend--just as a minor reporter.

The only issue here is how he got the pass--I imagine that for the background check he gave his real name, and he wrote under his assumed name. Is there something more to this story?

I think they should pass legislation to dig skeletons out of the closet for all reporters and purge all the crooked ones out. Give them all the deep cavity search treatment. :^)

Gannon wasn't issued a permanent press pass, it was a DAILY one. What should the criteria be for issuing daily passes to reporters in, make sure they're all liberal and hate GW?

I guess the conclusion is that gay people should not be given White House press passes. As far as I can tell, that is the left's position on this issue.

"Guckert has also been linked to sex sites and a male escort operation."

Not that there is anything wrong with that!/sarcasm

Amazing response; given the presence in their chambers of former Congressman Gary Condit. . .and for how many years?

And, of course, let's not forget 'Barney' and his sideline business; and he is still there. . .and the list goes on.

Good Grief. . .will someone up there be bold enough to drag a big mirror onto the floor of Congress as these sick demrat twits make there rediculous assertions?

Investigating? In a pigs ear. . .

For two weeks, several Democratic members of Congress have pressed the White House, the Secret Service, the Justice Department and Department of Homeland Security for information about just how...

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

Has anyone started exploring the backgrounds of various lib reporters who have had White House access through the years?? That would be virtually the entire White House press corps, of course, but surely there must be many many interesting skeletons in the closets of the various libs who have been in and out of the White House over the past 45 years. Pick some of the more far left journalists who have been at White House press conferences through the years (especially in the Clintonlite years) and start picking apart their backgrounds. Maybe there'll be some real criminals, but at the very least there must be plenty with some very seedy aspects to their lives. Let the left enjoy some 'payback' for this non-scandal.....

It's time to pursue a "scorched earth" campaign against the media frauds that are making the Guckert/Gannon thing a mountain out of a tiny molehill.....

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!

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?

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?

an openly partisan organization.

Like, say, ABC, SeeBS, NBC, CNN, and most newspapers?
