Bizarro Parallel Universe?
RECEIVED Fri., March 4, 2005
Dear Editor,
Remember a few years ago when the morally correct got their panties all in a wad because the president was having an affair with an intern? Remember those 70 million tax dollars spent “investigating” every blow-by-blow detail of this shameful and embarrassing incident? Remember the grueling, relentless media blitz-a-thon of novella-style coverage? And remember the televised impeachment that followed?
Now we have a gay military-fetishist hooker, who proclaims to be a “devout Christian” but whose beefcake pictures are spread-eagle all over the Internet, posing as a journalist and covering the homophobic White House. James Guckert, using his hooker alias, Jeff Gannon, advertises his eight-plus “cut” inches for $200/hour on HotMilitaryStuds.com while working for a GOP-funded fake news organization and writing gay-bashing articles on the side.
Curiously, even with heightened post-9/11 security, he was vetted and issued a daily press pass for the last two years using his fake name.
Give me about two minutes on Google, and I can tell you exactly when Clinton inserted that cigar, but the mainstream media won't touch Gannongate with a 10-inch pole. Why? Even with evidence that Gannon was leaked critical news before the rest of the press (yawn). There is a possibility that he might have been the Valerie Plame leak (yawn/stretch). And for the few who have dared, the spin is all about the unfairness of these activist bloggers delving into a fake reporter/hooker's private life. I mean, isn't that just going too far?
Have I slipped into a bizarro parallel universe where a presidential affair with an intern is an impeachable offense and a yearlong soap opera, but the family values administration has got a kinky, born-again gay prostitute coming into the White House on a daily press pass. And it's not even news? God Bless AmericaBlog.com.
