"“We have recently become aware that a Republican activist, with a potential criminal past,..."

Let's see, potential (in the future) criminal past (in the past). What the hell sense does that make? Prime and classic definition of ex Post Facto!

Great catch. Plus a terrorist, a killer of JEWS, was the most frequent GUEST of the Clinton's...Arafat.

“We have recently become aware that a Republican activist, with a potential criminal past, gained access to the White House press briefing room and presidential press conferences and was allowed to work under an assumed name,”

The operative words here are "Republican activist".

Does anyone believe that all of this furor would come to light if the "activist" had been a liberal?

How was it a security breach? The fact is that everybody that enters the White House press room almost certainly goes through a metal detector. What are they afraid of, that Gannon might have yelled something hurtful??? President Bush was never in any danger and these deceiful democrats know that. This is a patently dishonest display of fake concern. And the issue of the "assumed name" is a big red herring as well. The real fact is that Gannon applied for his "daily" press pass (a good for one day only pass, apparently not as hard to get as the democrats are acting) using his real name. He did not try to fool anybody at any time about his identity. He uses the name "Jeff Gannon" when he writes his column, as sort of a pen name. He is by no means the first journalist to use a pen name. Can you say Jerry Rivers (Geraldo Rivera)?

It is easy to have outrage for all possible positions when you have no moral foundation.

You see, that's what I don't get, how it was a security breach. They had to go through some sort of search to get in. Colmes even asked Ari Fleischer about this on H&C tonight, and Ari kept saying Gannon had a press pass and was not felt to be a security risk.

Wish the dems would have felt that way when the Code Pink "ladies" got into front row seats at the inauguration. What if someone who meant harm to President Bush "accidentally" got one of the tickets?

What sticks in their craws is that Gannon supposedly asked a "soft" question - oh, like most of Clinton's questions weren't softballs?

Lots of the WH staffers during Clinton's time couldn't pass an FBI check and refused to be drug tested.

But now, of course, the Democrats are in high drungeon about national security. RIiiiight.
