WASHINGTON -- A conservative writer who quit his job covering President Bush amid criticism for his pointedly political questions visited the White House 196 times in two years, the Secret Service has disclosed.

James D. Guckert, who wrote under the name Jeff Gannon, was Washington bureau chief for Talon News, a conservative online news outlet associated with another Web site, GOPUSA. Guckert posed questions with conservative overtones, attracting scrutiny from liberal bloggers who linked Guckert with online domain addresses suggestive of gay pornography. Guckert resigned in February.

Democratic Reps. Louise Slaughter of New York and John Conyers of Michigan filed a freedom of information request and were given Secret Service records of Guckert's visits to the White House.

How does this compare to visits from the real reporters? Do they visit as often?

SUGGESTIVE?! Why do they fail to mention that Guckert was a male prostitute and that there WERE gay porn photos of him online? I saw his salami, I don't see how the Washington Post could have missed it.

:laugh: I just did that giggle in your cubicle think, AKA, HEY EVERYONE, I'M NOT WORKING RIGHT NOW! :laugh:

I thought they went a little easy on him myself. I think 196 visits is an awful lot. He was a special friend of someone there and when is it going to come out!
