I'm starting to think the Republicans are so insidious, that they've developed a methodology for scandal that involves building inherent "scandal fuses" into any potentially damaging situation. These fuses are then blown when the scandal starts to overload, and those who drew all the power are never damaged.
Like, "Hey, let's manufacture a media whore, who'll shill for Bus, re-direct the questioning of the WH press corp, and right hit-pieces on the opposition...but let's make him an *ACTUAL* man-whore, so if he's caught, no one will care about anything other than the OMGZ HE'S THE GAY MANWHOREZ!!!11"
Damn, stinkin' Rats.

ALL parties do that. That's what the Democrats did with Clinton, had the sex stuff come out to cover over the Whitewater investigations. THAT was the real political danger, yet 90% of the public has no idea how many people went to jail or were killed over Whitewater. All anyone remembers is that Clinton stuck a cigar in Monica and smoked it.

Yet the Republicans were allowed to organize a $70-million dollar tax-payer funded lynch mob and impeach him on it anyhow. What about this WH and the current sex cover-up? Where's our Ken Starr? Where's the justice? Hopefully it's coming down the pipe. I imagine this is *far* from over...
I hope they get to the bottom of this and I hope it doesn't stop at "Scott McClellan's gay lover got a cushy job lobbing softball questions to his beloved." /conjecture. Anyhow, that's a lot to hope for, given the things this administration has already gotten away with. They seem to reward incompetence and encourage chicanery, and no one seem to care.
The real question is, in a post 9/11 ultra-tight security laced WH, how/when did a male prostitute get the privileges to hear/see/read classified information about an undercover CIA operative? Pillow talk?

One cannot talk with their face jammed into a pillow.

THESE ARE HILARIOUS!! A satirist couldn't write better stuff. Too bad "Gannon" stopped short of, "Mr. McClellan...I have a follow-up to that last softball, why is President Bush so awesome?"
Some of Gannon's greatest hits, as featured in a video montage on Olberman's show last night:
May 10, 2004: "Q In your denunciations of the Abu Ghraib photos, you've used words like 'sickening,' 'disgusting' and 'reprehensible.' Will you have any adjectives left to adequately describe the pictures from Saddam's rape rooms and torture chambers? And will Americans ever see those images?
"MR. McCLELLAN: I'm glad you brought that up, Jeff, because the President talks about that often."
July 15, 2004: "Q Last Friday, the Senate Intelligence Committee released a report that shows that Ambassador Joe Wilson lied when he said his wife didn't put him up for the mission to Niger. The British inquiry into their own prewar intelligence yesterday concluded that the President's 16 words were 'well-founded.' Doesn't Joe Wilson owe the President and America an apology for his deception and his own intelligence failure?"
April 1, 2004: "Q I'd like to comment on the angry mob that surrounded Karl Rove's house on Sunday. They chanted and pounded on the windows until the D.C. police and Secret Service were called in. The protest was organized by the National People's Action Coalition, whose members receive taxpayer funds, as well as financial support from groups including Theresa Heinz Kerry's Tides Foundation.
"MR. McCLELLAN: I would just say that, one, we appreciate and understand concerns that people may have. I would certainly hope that people would respect the families of White House staff."
Feb. 10, 2004: "Q Since there have been so many questions about what the President was doing over 30 years ago, what is it that he did after his honorable discharge from the National Guard? Did he make speeches alongside Jane Fonda, denouncing America's racist war in Vietnam? Did he testify before Congress that American troops committed war crimes in Vietnam? And did he throw somebody else's medals at the White House to protest a war America was still fighting?"
Is Drew really Jeff "Gannon"...and how did he get a job in the WH? Is he still renting himself out? If so, how much for a weekend? I could use a hand building my cab...
