"“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.
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)?
bttt
I remember Gary Aldritch's book in whih he described clearances being waved for current drug users and people with criminals backgrounds.
It is easy to have outrage for all possible positions when you have no moral foundation.
Rats are hypocrites with selective memories.
Let me get this right
pro abortion
dont ask dont tell
anti death penalty for violent offenders
but a reporter has to tell his sexual preference but not the former president
stoppp!!!
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.
The President doesn't credential the reporters, there is a special independent office for that... but the libs know the reporters won't point that out
They should be worried..
If Bush get snuffed, Cheney takes over and gives the State Department an enema.. as starters..
and THEN the fun would begin..
If this is what they have for spears to throw at Bush, they're in worse shape than we thought. People expect Democrats to throw spears at Bush, but when they get this petty they look impotent and stupid. What the Hell is a U.S. Senator doing bothering himself with low-grade mud like this? Stuff like this is best fired from the sidelines, by weasels like David Brock. Let the New York Times try to sell it. For elected officials to get caught up in it is ridiculous. |
Bring back Gannon to the briefings! Would be awesome.
I think this whole thing makes the Democrats look ridiculously small. Whoop-dee-doo, they found a gay guy with a pen name inside the White House. Call the Department of Homeland Security!
