Jeff Gannon scandal finally covered in the New York Times
These folks (the NYT) should read my blog so they can report things in a timely fashion. At least they finally reported the Jeff Gannon scandal, even if the article is (as they say, whoever "they" are) a dollar late, kind of buried, and a little understated. Understated because an uncredentialed stooge was able to waltz into White House press conferences and use them as a bully pulpit for several years, while also being involved in marketing X-rated Web properties, allegedly working as an escort, and possibly outing a CIA operative. For more on the CIA leak allegation and Jeff Gannon, see the Daily Kos article.
If this administration regards you as a "friend" -- and that largely means you are a self-declared Christian fundamentalist with a big "C" -- you can do no wrong even if you are a fake, involved in the sex business, and arguably a criminal.
