Jeff Gannon/James Guckert,

[milord]

If I recall correctly, this Gannon, a fake journalist and male prostitute, was frequently signed in to the White House press conferences, even though he had no experience as a journalist. What stands out in my memory was that no one was ever pinpointed as the person who authorized his admissions and, even more fishy, he signed in on 23 occasions when there was no press conference scheduled. Who did he see on these visits? And for what purpose?
This was just swept under the rug in the Oval Office, which by now must look like a pitcher's mound. Well, I'd still like to know the answers.
Another problem that was never answered, to my knowledge, is What the Hell Happened to the Missing Nine-Billion Dollars in US Funds in the money pit of Iraq?
Why does the American public let the Bushies get away without answering these questions, pretending that if they wait long enough, the problems will just go away? Why do we let them do it? And get away with it?
Enough! Old as the questions may be, we're entitled to some answers.

1. 2.3 trillion

And what happened to the 2.3 Trillion the rumsfeld announced was 'unaccounted for' in the pentagon budget? Oh more important things to deal with I suppose, pressing issues such as steroid use by old jocks. (rolls eyes)

3. speaking of

gannon, google WASHINGTON TIMES HOOKERS TOOK MIDNIGHT TOURS OF WHITE HOUSE. bush senior and malke call boys, made the mainstream news and also NBC nightly news. Gannon is an extension of that, with bush junior instead of bush senior at the helm. B arbara bush gthen comes out the next week and responds to the story, saying it doesnt bother her. true story., you can read the original online.

9. Read all about it

[ljm2002]

2. All excellent questions...

...and by the way, welcome to DU!

One of the answers to "why do we let them do it?" is, the Bush-boot-licking media whores. In fact I'd say that's the main reason.

[elizfeelinggreat]

27. YES!

And the corporations who OWN the media.

Follow The Money ...

5. we haven't come to the bottom of this yet!

[lifesbeautifulmagic]

6. personally, I think it is a national security issue

solely based on what we know -

We know he was an escort for pay, we know he was at the White House a lot - it just seems that this could be a scenario for blackmail, and i think it needs to be investigated, if only to vet him and his visits, and to eliminate the possibility of any chance of him holding secrets over someone's head.

7. it is a national security issue

8. Three words embody the answer to all your questions

10. I'm hoping (yes I still do that)

it's all about building an ironclad case against the criminals. Yes,I'm still hoping because w/o hope I'm useless.

[Octafish]

11. This issue goes right up to the Oval Office.

12. Anthrax...then Guckert.

[Rosemary2205]

13. Who fucking cares.

he was obviously a personal guest of the White House. Quite frankly, if GANNON is what keeps you up nights then I hate to see what thoughts of Bushco shredding the Constitution does to you - seizures?

[NNN0LHI]

14. Repigs in NY were going to impeach Eliot Spitzer if he didn't resign over his prostitutes

But prostitutes that visit the White House is no ones business?

Whats the matter with this picture?

Don

[milord]

17. reply to apathetic rosemary

Yup.

[arikara]

19. Whoa, somebody didn't get their morning coffee...

Male prostitutes with special passes floating around the religious righteous white house? Billions or trillions of dollars unaccounted for? Just the tip of the iceberg to be sure but valid questions that aren't answered.

Welcome to DU milord!

[SpiralHawk]

20. The hypocrisy of republicon family values is an ISSUE

Obviously not the prime issue, but an underlying issue of importance.

Because republicons are hypocrites who lie about their sexuality, and much else, they must be exposed. Americans must know the truth so they can respond accurately.

So I care. The Bush White House infatuation with a notorious B & D male prostitute is important. Not because Commander AWOL apparently has a kinky side -- that's his private business -- but because he is (in so many crucial matters) portraying himself and his cabal as some sort of Moral Paragon based on phony propaganda that has no relation to truth.

The truth matters. Remember the WMDs?

[earth mom]

21. You should give a damn-because the Gannon story would have led to the Impeachment of *

if the public had only heard the story on every news station like they did about Clinton and Spitzer.

But the corporate media whores choose to cover it up for their own selfish and greedy purposes.

BTW-Anyone who really gives a damn about the Constitution knows it's way past time for Impeachment of * & Cheney.

But you knew that already.


You just love to stir the pot, don't you? :puke:

[Rosemary2205]

25. Snort

Impeachment over gannon? With a puke congress? LOL

The whole point of impeaching Big Dog over a blow job was to set it up for the next Puke to go hog crazy. Bush could slaughter those Iraqi kids with his own bare hands on national TeeVee and Congress won't toss him out.

And if we are going to talk corruption of the independent press, I can think of MUCH better examples to be all outraged about than freakin Gannon.

[milord]

26. Rosemary, speak to me.

Okay. What are the "MUCH better examples to be all outraged about..." Incidentally, I didn't say I was outraged. That's your word. I just want the answers.
It's not that I don't agree with you on this point. I'd just like to know what YOU consider the better examples to be.
Thank you.

[Rosemary2205]

28. Well

"outrage" was to Golden Rule, not you. Goldie has decided to be my own personal fan club and likes to follow me from thread to thread to express outrage at every word that eminates from my keyboard.

As for Jeffipoo - Gannon is so far from mainstream he's not even worth a discussion. You want to get upset (or whatever word you find acceptable) then why not stick with MSM. You know like the unholy relationship between Faux and the White House - or the fact it took the "pajama" crowd to even begin to expose the lies regarding Iraq.

This is ONLY obvious to anyone who hasn't been in a coma the last 7 years.

[milord]

29. Rosemary, dear

Why tell me what I should get upset about? You don't have that prerogative. You have not even a clue as to what the other 99.999% of my thoughts are about. And, again I ask you, what are the issues that you feel you would like to get answers to?

[Rosemary2205]

30. LOL

Dear? LOL :)

I love the smell of newbies playing games in the evening. :)

Welcome to DU. Enjoy your stay. LOL

[milord]

31. Rosemary, baby

Thanks, kiddo. And I notice that you STILL didn't give me any info on what you would consider wothwhile getting upset about. C'mon, you can tell me. Trust me, I'm a doctor.
(not really.) Bye now.

33. "You could always get outraged about my failure on 9/11. Smirk." - Commander AWOL

"Remember how I sat on my ass reading My Pet Goat for 1/2 hour after having been told TWICE that America was under attack on 9/11? Smirk. I -- and my republicon chickenhawk cronies, including VP Dickie 'Five Military Deferments' Cheny -- didn't lift a freaking finger to defend America. Smirk. Pretty outrageous, eh? Smirk."

- Commander AWOL

[SpiralHawk]

34. You republicon homelander AWOL Connectict preppy pretend-Texan cheerleader whimp, you

Any honest American who is paying attention is outraged at you, and your republicon cronies, for your MISERABLE FAILURE to do anything about 9/11.

[Bonobo]

15. Where hast thou come from, milord? Thou dost most verily speak the truth.

[Atman]

16. Two words. That's all it takes to understand how this happened...

THE MEDIA

Six years of 24/7 coverage of Bill Clinton's perfectly legal consensual blow job. Not 24 minutes to how an uncredentialed male prostitute was allowed into the White House and allowed to pose fake questions to the President. The media. That's all you need to know.

.

[Bluenorthwest]

18. Why does the American public let the Bushies get away without answering

It is not the American Public but the opprotunistic media. Left and right. Letting Bush/McCain go unhindered, so they can mock one Democrat over another. Because Demcoratic voters have to be bullied, I guess, into submission, and that is more important than truth or justice.

[KitchenWitch]

22. welcome to DU - those are excellent questions

Wish I knew the answers.

[riverdeep]

23. Historians are going to have a field day with this administration.

If America or the planet on which it resides is still intact by then, I predict they'll still be talking about these bastards in 50 years like we talk about the Kennedy assassination. Or historians relentlessly parsing WWII. By then these sons of bitches will be dead and buried and their spawn will be in the hierarchy. President Jenna Bush?

[riverdeep]

24. Oh, the reason why-

media- they've been building this thing up since the 1960's, see John Olin. They control the horizontal, they control the vertical...

our dems- not particularly brilliant strategists, by and large. outmaneuvered by the pubs when they held the majority AND the minority. and they are unwilling to turn the rock fully over, afraid maybe, of what it might expose

[Twist_U_Up]

32. The missing trillions

went up in smoke at the Pentagon along with a majority of the people investigating the matter. Meeting planned in that area just before impact.
Coinkydink ? I think not.

[dysfunctional press]

35. they own the media, they own the message. that's why.

the press only cares about the personal indiscretions of democratic presidents.

which white house SEX scandal got more press- boystown under bush1, or monica under clinton?

[libodem]

36. Because Richard Mellon Scaiff

didn't pour millions into a witchhunt fund on a fishing expedition to torment the POTUS. Those Think Tank Institutes do nothing more than sped time and money dreaming up ways to hurt Democrats. It doesn't work the other way around. It's very partisan politics out there. The Democrats don't seem to have the money or the ambition to pursue millions of dollars in legal entrapments to pester the Republicans with, up to and including impeachment. This is a sorely criminal bunch and they are getting away with sex scandals, torture and murder.
