Prostitutes and more!

Anybody remember the gay-escort-turned-reporter-for-republican-"news" organization, Jeff Gannon or Guckert, or something like that? I swear I'm not making that up...

He's the guy that had a "day pass" to the White House for press briefings for over 2 years.. Something smelled funny, and the tinge of blood hit the water, so the lefty sharks go right after it... with a FOIA request for Gannon's attendance records.

And boy does it smell like something very interesting was afoot..

Perhaps more notable than the frequency of his attendance, however, is several distinct anomalies about his visits.

Guckert made more than two dozen excursions to the White House when there were no scheduled briefings. On many of these days, the Press Office held press gaggles aboard Air Force One which raises questions about what Guckert was doing at the White House. On other days, the president held photo opportunities.

On at least fourteen occasions, Secret Service records show either the entry or exit time missing. Generally, the existing entry or exit times correlate with press conferences; on most of these days, the records show that Guckert checked in but was never processed out.

In March, 2003, Guckert left the White House twice on days he had never checked in with the Secret Service. Over the next 22 months, Guckert failed to check out with the Service on fourteen days. On several of these visits, Guckert either entered or exited by a different entry/exit point than his usual one. On one of these days, no briefing was held; on another, he checked in twice but failed to check out.
So what does that prove? Absolutely nothing.. but hell, it's a lot of fun to speculate..

My theory? Gannon was servicing somebody in the White House. You just do not get access to the White House that often, and that long, without being a reputable reporter and getting a hard pass, much less a gay prostitute.

Remember my mantra - everything revolves around sex. Somewhere in there, there is a sordid story. There's blood in the water, and the sharks need to feed.
