View Full Version : Bush's Barberini Faun

WASHINGTON

I am very impressed with James Guckert, a k a Jeff Gannon.

How often does an enterprising young man, heralded in press reports as both a reporter and a contributor to such sites as Hotmilitarystud.com, Workingboys.net, Militaryescorts .com, MilitaryescortsM4M.com and Meetlocalmen.com, get to question the president of the United States?

Who knew that a hotmilitarystud wanting to meetlocalmen could so easily get to be face2face with the commander in chief?

It's hard to believe the White House could hit rock bottom on credibility again, but it has, in a bizarre maelstrom that plays like a dark comedy. How does it credential a man with a double life and a secret past?

"Jeff Gannon" was waved into the press room nearly every day for two years as the conservative correspondent for two political Web sites operated by a wealthy Texas Republican. Scott McClellan often called on the pseudoreporter for softball questions.

Howard Kurtz reported in The Washington Post yesterday that although Mr. Guckert had denied launching the provocative Web sites - one described him as " 'military, muscular, masculine and discrete' (sic)" - a Web designer in California said "that he had designed a gay escort site for Gannon and had posted naked pictures of Gannon at the client's request."

And The Wilmington News-Journal in Delaware reported that Mr. Guckert was delinquent in $20,700 in personal income tax from 1991 to 1994.

I'm still mystified by this story. I was rejected for a White House press pass at the start of the Bush administration, but someone with an alias, a tax evasion problem and Internet pictures where he posed like the "Barberini Faun" is credentialed to cover a White House that won a second term by mining homophobia and preaching family values?

At first when I tried to complain about not getting my pass renewed, even though I'd been covering presidents and first ladies since 1986, no one called me back. Finally, when Mr. McClellan replaced Ari Fleischer, he said he'd renew the pass - after a new Secret Service background check that would last several months.

In an era when security concerns are paramount, what kind of Secret Service background check did James Guckert get so he could saunter into the West Wing every day under an assumed name while he was doing full-frontal advertising for stud services for $1,200 a weekend? He used a driver's license that said James Guckert to get into the White House, then, once inside, switched to his alter ego, asking questions as Jeff Gannon.

Mr. McClellan shrugged this off to Editor & Publisher magazine, oddly noting, "People use aliases all the time in life, from journalists to actors."

I know the F.B.I. computers don't work, but this is ridiculous. After getting gobsmacked by the louche sagas of Mr. Guckert and Bernard Kerik, the White House vetters should consider adding someone with some blogging experience.

Does the Bush team love everything military so much that even a military-stud Web site is a recommendation?

Or maybe Gannon/Guckert's willingness to shill free for the White House, even on gay issues, was endearing. One of his stories mocked John Kerry's "pro-homosexual platform" with the headline "Kerry Could Become First Gay President."

With the Bushies, if you're their friend, anything goes. If you're their critic, nothing goes. They're waging a jihad against journalists - buying them off so they'll promote administration programs, trying to put them in jail for doing their jobs and replacing them with ringers.

At last month's press conference, Jeff Gannon asked Mr. Bush how he could work with Democrats "who seem to have divorced themselves from reality." But Bush officials have divorced themselves from reality.

They flipped TV's in the West Wing and Air Force One to Fox News. They paid conservative columnists handsomely to promote administration programs. Federal agencies distributed packaged "news" video releases with faux anchors so local news outlets would run them. As CNN reported, the Pentagon produces Web sites with "news" articles intended to influence opinion abroad and at home, but you have to look hard for the disclaimer: "Sponsored by the U.S. Department of Defense." The agencies spent a whopping $88 million spinning reality in 2004, splurging on P.R. contracts.

Even the Nixon White House didn't do anything this creepy. It's worse than hating the press. It's an attempt to reinvent it.

Nothing new. Same old ****. Bush has had many scandals that should have been his so-called downfall. Yet he's still here. Instead, what is the scandal of all scandals in the press? ****ing Rathergate! And that shouldn't have really been a scandal to take Dan Rather down. It should have exposed Karl Rove and his dirty tricks. My, times have changed. Where the hell is today's Woodward and Bernstein?

This will fade into black like everything else about his administration does..I never got how he and his administration always get a free pass in the press. Lying about a sexual relationship was newsworthy for years, but lying to Americans about a war that actually cost lives is nothing...I guarantee this will do nothing to Bush---he's a saint, he does no wrong

I am a little torn on this one.

I truly think what someone does outside of work ought not to effect their job unless it afect their ability to do their job. I ger that this was a public position, a political plum, etc. But, what if say a popular newswoman (or even female member of the WH press) posted in a public chatroom that she had had an abortion because she could not be bothered with a child and then openly counselled on a public website for woman to use abortion as a birth control method - what if the right wingers picked this up and ran with it and she got fired. That would not be fair would it? In a very real way, what this guy did was similar because it was his own business and it angers me that he is all of a sudden a dirty person for it. I mean the liberal status quo party line is being gay is not dirty, it is no one's business what people do in private, if society is horrified at the leather dykes in the gay pride parade then society needs to get over itself, consenual sex is A OK, and so on and so on :shrug: So, the question is whether posing as a male hustler transcends all of the foregoing examples? I personally do not know the answer to that.

I do know, however, that I am glad that the self-righteous R's have to deal with this because it makes them look silly. But, even there I am ashamed of myself for the glee because the argument still comes back to being gay is worse than say a female who had done this and that being gay is dirty.

If anything, I think I should encourage the WH to keep him because firing him for being gay and what he does in his private life is unacceptable in any instance :shrug:

That my friends is a hard pill to swallow but I have to apply the same standards to everyone right? lest I be a hypocrite - which I have already admitted to being (everyone is) so what is the point :laugh:

Also, I have not really thought this one out to a conclusion - so I am thinking out loud and welcoming suggestions :cool:

I know and agree that this will be very awkward for them because they are so self-righteous. But, shouldn't "we" be saying that this guy should keep his job and that firing him for this is unfair. Though - prostitution is a crime I guess - but many a liberal thinks a woman (in this case a man) ought to be able to do with her body what she wants, etc.

Anyway - I am just thinking out loud because this just rubs me the wrong way - perhaps it is because he has a small, perhaps average on a good day and with a pump :eek: , size penis and is not attractive - yet people are paying him :laugh: For that weak of heart - that was Strand being as catty as it gets :wavey:

But using abortion as an example that is similar though not directly analgous, what if a woman in this job had had a third term abortion for reasons not contained in those allowing such things - that would be a crime as well. Would we all say fire her - I do not think we would. Is being a gay hustler (BTW I think "gay for pay" traditionally refers to a straight actor in a gay role - this jackass appears to be gay - to the chagrain of the entire homosexual community I suspect) worse?

It is not a security breach to use a fake name. Maybe if you used it to provoke a terrorist act, but that is not what he did. Interestingly, he must have lied on the security screening application, assuming he completed one. That, is a big no no and may be felonious. In any event, it is a fireable offense - so I think he ought to be fired :nod:

Right. That news org he worked for, the Talon was known for gay bashing. Also, the guy was not using his legal name for a press pass which shows the "security" in place at the White House. It would seem he was planted to ask "soft questions" of the president and make him look good. Or at the very least he is a poser lacking in credentials and of questionable character.

Okay--here's what I don't get. This guy was interviewed by Anderson Cooper tonight on 360 on CNN. He tried to claim that the "liberal" bloggers had invaded his privacy. How did they invade his personal life? He was soliciting for BUSINESS--namely, offering his PROFESSIONAL services as a prostitute on the internet. That is invading your Professional life, not your PERSONAL life. I'm still waiting for someone to call bull**** on this pitiful argument.

My favorite was when he tried to claim that James Guckert was too difficult to pronounce so he needed to change BOTH his first and last names as a reporter. I heard the best rag on that remark tonight on MSNBC's Countdown. After reading the question and the reply Guckert/Gannon offered up for why he used an alias, Keith said, "Hello, my name is Keith OLBERMANN." Too damned funny.

I happened to catch both segments, and they were both hysterical.

The Bush administration is beyond distgusting. I don't care what this guy does in his personal life, what pisses me off is that he was allowed into press conferences on a regular basis to ask softball questions, change the subject and basically make the President look good. The White House knew exactly who he was and why he was there. When you take this story, along with the story of the three talking heads who were paid to promote Bush's agenda on TV, the Pentagon's fake news website, and then add the Republican party's PR machine, aka Fox News to the mix, you get a pattern of controlling the media that is very scary . This is the type of **** that happens in dictatorships and third world countries. Anyone, Republican or Democrat, who thinks this is OK needs to have their head examined.

I don't even believe that's possible.

Well I hope it all comes out then. Maybe he's got checks signed by Dubya himself? Rove? I'm sickened. I think I need a media break, how much of this bullsh*t can one woman take?

At my office we are having an art show. Art created by employees is displayed on the walls. One piece is a sketch of Bush in a cowboy hat with the title "Propoganda". It's great.

This story isn't going to go away. In fact, it's probably far uglier than we can imagine. Look who/what we're dealing with.

Have you read his actual escort ad?

"Aggressive, verbal, dominant top. I don't leave marks...only impressions."

And he claims to be 8 inches. I've seen the pics and...no.

If he got that - which is frightening in and of itself :eek: - he likely will have a date with the IRS for evasion because I am sure he reported all of that illegal income :rolleyes:

AND - I can assure you the IRS' member is FAR larger than 8 inches and they will NOT lube when they shove it straight up this "[a]ggressive, verbal, dominant top" with the full weight of the White House on top!!!!!
