LOL! Jeff Gannon calls Flynt a hypocrite (and Satan)!
Edited on Wed Jul-18-07 08:33 AM by displacedtexan
Edited to add: "And Satan"

I've posted the whole thing on my blog, so you don't have to give Gannon the click, but here's a snippet:


Flynt says he wants to expose the hypocrisy of politicians who advocate a virtuous lifestyle for others but conduct their own affairs by a different standard. He makes a good point - since Vitter’s rhetoric about the sanctity of marriage is a classic example of “do as I say, not as I do.” However, the elitist Washington culture is rife with hypocrisy on virtually every topic. Flynt’s own hypocrisy should not be overlooked simply because he points to someone else’s indefensible acts. Consider the absurdity of Larry Flynt lecturing about the moral failures of others.

Flynt is a purveyor of filth who would castigate otherwise honorable men seduced by the provocative images he is responsible for bringing into public view. The Devil works that way, too putting temptation in the path of men only to claim victory when they succumb to it. Flynt publicly reminded Vitter of his sins even though he confessed them long ago. The Devil does that, too. The name “Satan” comes from the Hebrew word meaning “the accuser.”


LOL! Consider the absurdity of Jeff Gannon lecturing about the moral failures of Larry Flynt.

3. I don't think he knows what "hypocrisy" means....
Flynt is not a hypocrite because he doesn't say people should lead "moral" sex-free lives.

Nice try at spin, Gannon.

7. Unlike Vitter et al., Flynt acknowledges that he peddles filth
I know of no statement on Flynt's business dealings where he says otherwise. Flynt is not a hypocrite, and Gannon is (yet again) making a pig bottom of himself.

10. Actually, "Satan" is the "adversary" or the "opponant", not the "accuser".
And Flynt has never pretended to be anything other than what he is. Can Gannon say the same?

12. You would think the guy who organized "The National Day of Prayer" would get that right.

Day of Prayer Is A Bust In Washington

No one showed up for the "Bible Reading Marathon" on the West Front of the Capitol on the National Day of Prayer. The part I like is this event was sponsored by a group that had that stout hearted Christian leader, Jeff Gannon, as their spokesperson. You remember, the hot military stud $200-an-hour gay escort that got press credentials in the Bush White House.



he article then goes on to talk about my good buddy Rick Wingrove.

Today is a real puzzle. I go for weeks without that much to post and then a day like today comes along and the list seems endless.

We have the Christians who object to passage of H.R. 1592, `Local Law Enforcement Hate Crimes Prevention Act of 2007' because it adds GENDER, SEXUAL ORIENTATION, GENDER IDENTITY, OR DISABILITY- to the list of offenses. I don't know that much about Christianity since I have never been a Christian, but really, Jesus preached about the need to spread hate filled speech in the Sermon on the Mount? Gee, what was Congress thinking when it passed this secular law and outlawed religious hate crimes?

National Day of Prayer never had a prayer

Several more prominent blogs have already reported on this, arguably making its coverage here superfluous. But it's just so hilarious that I couldn't not remark upon it. In Washington D.C., no one bothered to turn up to the National Day of Prayer event on the Capitol lawn. They set up 600 folding chairs, and a podium with a huge PA system. But there were never any more than four seats occupied. The official spokesman for the International Bible Reading Association responded to this ultimate in flopdom by saying, cryptically, "This isn't that kind of event." What kind of event? The kind where people turn up at all, you mean, thereby making it an "event" in the first place? Then why set up 600 folding chairs?

Now comes the hilarious part. The aforementioned spokesman is one Jeff Gannon (real name James Guckert), best known for having the most unusual career trajectory in all Washington. Prior to finding his way into the White House press corps, where he was essentially a plant whose role was lobbing Democrat-bashing softball questions at Bush, he was offering his services for $200 an hour at HotMilitaryStud.com, a gay online escort service. Now he's the spokesman for the International Bible Reading Association? Truly, the Lord works in mysterious ways. But then, I suppose He can afford the 200 bucks.





You think Jeff let Bush have that one on the house?

11. I thought Jeff Gannon was going to accuse Larry Flynt of being a monogamous, heterosexual & faithful
prude who only had sex in the missionary position.

Now that would be hypocritical.

14. Dear JimmyJeff, aka Military Top;
I saw your pornographic photos. I saw your ads whoring yourself (with the special full weekend discount).

You are the most wonderful example imaginable of true Republican values. (Listen to my pure words! Ignore my evil deeds!) Keep up the good work; you help make the situation that much more obvious to anyone suffering from some degree of myopia.
