Thursday, February 10, 2005 Liars and the lies they tell to cover up...lies Speaking of liars in the White House, Press Secretary Scott McClellan said today that Jeff Gannon/James Guckert/military escort stud was granted White House access b/c he "showed that he was representing a news organization that published regularly". How interesting that the news organization, Talon News, which came into existence on March 29, 2003, was granted access to the elite White House Press Corps only four days after being created. Also interesting is the fact that the White House claims that they had no idea that Jeff Gannon was a nom de plume. That's a testimony to the rock solid security checks our White House does before allowing strangers into the press seats at a news conference, huh? And let's not get started on Gannon's ties to the outing of CIA agent Valerie Plame, which he lied about on CNN. The only people telling the truth about this shill seems to be Susan G. at Daily Kos, Keith Olbermann and Aaron Brown. They have all seen Gannon/Guckert to be the hack he really is, and they have made no bones about the shady answers the White House coughs up when asked about it. Perhaps the letters presented to Bush and McClellan by NY Rep. Louise Slaughter(D) and NJ Sen. Frank Lautenberg(D) will finally give us all some form of honesty...but I won't hold my breath on this issue...I have a feeling I would end up with a face that is blue...but that color is A-okay by me. |
