Dozens of Heads Were Bowed

Let us pray.

Let us pray that, on next year's National Day of Prayer, there is better attendance at the "Bible Reading Marathon" on the West Front of the Capitol.

Organizers put out 600 folding chairs on the lawn -- the spot where presidents are inaugurated -- and set up a huge stage with powerful amplifiers. But at 9:30 a.m. yesterday, not one of the 600 seats was occupied. By 11 a.m., as a woman read a passage from Revelations, attendance had grown -- to four people. Finally, at 1 p.m., 37 of the 600 seats were occupied, though many of those people were tourists eating lunch.

Where was everybody?

"This isn't that kind of event," explained Jeff Gannon, spokesman for the host, the International Bible Reading Association. Gannon, actually a pseudonym for James Guckert, had earned fame in 2005 representing a conservative Web site at White House briefings until it was revealed that he posted nude pictures of himself on the Web to offer his services as a $200-an-hour gay escort.

Let us pray for the power to understand how Gannon made his way from HotMilitaryStud.com to the International Bible Reading Association.

1. From one scam to another...

Once a con man, always a con man.

[TlalocW]

3. He saw the kind of money you can make in religion

And decided that was chicken-feed compared to his $200 and hour side business of being a male prostitute.

2. Perhaps he is free to open "HotPreacherStud.com" for business now?

It would appear the website is available? http://www.hotpreacherstud.com/

[CrazyOrangeCat]

LOL!!!

[MO_Dem]

4. If somebody prays at the White House, and nobody

hears it, does it make a sound?


"at 9:30 a.m. yesterday, not one of the 600 seats was occupied."



:rofl:

[Stephanie]

5. Gannon/Gucker is BACK!

YAY!

[RamboLiberal]

6. I'd still like to know who he was servicing in the WH

Media sure let that one drop like a hot potato.

[mzmolly]

19. I'm gonna go with Scotty McClellan.

Remember Gannon/Guckert aka "HotMilitaryStud" sent Scott a wedding card when he married? How touching really.

[tblue37]

20. Come on, Jeffie-Pie--

Don't fade away. make a name for yoruself. Stay in the news. They owe you the spotlight!

[w4rma]

7. I think Gannon is Rove's Hot'Military'Stud. Seriously, has anyone ever seen Rove with a girl?

Would anyone want to see that maniac with a girl? Could anyone see Rove as a good loving father?

No. But, its not hard to picture Rove as someone who prefers male prostitutes to a committed relationship with anyone.

[Bluebear]

8. Rove is married (on his second) and is a father. nt

[w4rma]

9. No way? He is? Well I still think he's the one Gannon is getting down on.

I've never seen a picture of him with his wife or child and supposedly he's an insane workaholic.

[rasputin1952]

10. How come so many of these "family values" types have

multiple marriages?

I picked up on that years ago, and it seems that the "Religious Right" just seems to give these yahoo's a pass...:shrug:

I don't care if someone is foolish enough to marry Rove, Limbaugh, Guiliani, Reagan Gingrich, or any of the others that have become "icons" of family values, that is theior problem, it is just the hypocrisy that gets to me..:eyes:

[IronLionZion]

13. Karl's wife, Darby

[lies and propaganda]

15. scary!!!!!

omg!

[IronLionZion]

17. She must hate herself so...

I bet she's on meds of some kind. His son Andrew must be so ashamed of his father.

[w4rma]

16. Thanks! (nt)

[Solly Mack]

11. wonder if he worked for the DC Madam

[Catherine Vincent]

12. Poor Jeffy.

I won't bash him for this. There's nothing wrong with praying.

[NickB79]

14. Going from gay prostitute to Born-again preacher should be pretty easy for him

Both professions involve a lot getting on your knees and bowing your head over and over again :evilgrin:

[JenniferJuniper]

18. Actually, it's kind of refreshing

.... to find a Republican whore who turns into a wingnut preacher as opposed to the usual - A Republican wing-nut preacher who turns to whores.

You go, Jimmy-Jeff! You've done a remarkable job with those 15 minutes of yours. Of course, the question remains - who owes Jeff 50 bucks?

[spanone]

21. They just exposed this on Olbermann....Oh, the humanity.

[MisterP]

22. specifically 1 Kings 14:24, 15:12, 22:46, 2 Kings 23:7, Job 36:14

and Ezekiel 23:20!
