Will Gannon 'Kiss and Tell'?
August 13, 2007
WASHINGTON: Karl Rove, long-time advisor to President Bush, announced his resignation today amidst rumors that a new book by a male homosexual prostitute would finger Rove as secretly gay.

Jim Gannon, former reporter for Talon News and rent boy, is publishing a "tell all" book in September tentatively titled "Behind Enemy Lines". Karl Rove apparently fears being exposed as a former customer of Gannon's or his military pron websites like www.hotmilitarystud.com

It has long been rumored that Jim Gannon gained White House briefing room credentials and day passes by offering his services to Karl Rove, including several overnight stays in the White House Buchanan bedroom.

10. If, by "writer" you mean
"has sex with men for money" then yes.
If you mean "journalist", no, they didn't have any of those.

11. Did you ever see his website?
I forget what it was called. Anyway, he wrote the captions under his photographs advertising his wares.

I guess that's what I meant by writer.

14. I did have a look at the sites he was trying to sell. I suppose
any third grader could have written things like:-
"8 inches uncut", "best on top", "$150 for 1 hour"
"outcalls available"
I am just remembering here, so the wording may be different.
You get the intent.

15. You got it right.
Literary flair wasn't his strong point.

6. Looks like a gag sight to me.
While far too sweet if true, I'll wait until I hear some corroborating evidence.

7. Not only Rove, but Gonzo, too, are "secretly" gay.
Just my own opinion, of course, but considering who I'm speculating about, conjecture is just as good as proof.

8. Oh indeed!
Let's giggle and plaster all over this board about what a total fag Rove is so the right wing noise machine has yet even more ammunition to portray us as intolerant bigots.
