"Propagannon" confirmed : Fake reporter in WH press conferences.

I don't see what the big deal is with this Whitehouse plant. Personally, I think it's double-plus good. At least.

Well, for me, I enjoy the sweet effervescence of the exposed, blatant hypocrisy inherent in this administrations behavior.
For example, in his 1/26 press conference, Bush said, "Our agenda ought to be able to stand on its own two feet." His VERY NEXT QUESTION came from "Gannon."
If the President's agenda is so strong and righteous, why does he need to defer to scripted partisan lap-dogs for follow up?
The double-plus for me is the possibility that this guy was an established front used launder potentially damaging stories for this administration. If he can be linked to the Plame memo...we'll find the leak inside the WH (that Bush claims to be searching *so* hard for).
I doubt it'll go that far, but, Aaahhhh...A man can dream....

Dude, seriously, you need to have a beer and start thinking about ways to improve things rather than make them worse.

I've had a few beers. (I definitely drink more heavily under this administration.) Beyond starting threads in an arcade forum, I am working on as many other ways to improve things, given what my livelihood and my time will allow. (I ain't rich, I need to work) I post on this forum for fun and discussion...I don't consider *this* highly effective activism, but it does inform others, and the continued debate helps me develop framing for issues outside of this environment.
Furthermore, I see bringing malfeasance to light, and removing the 'wrong doers" as one of the best ways to improve things. My political allies will see many failures, as this admin continues to wiggle out of it's responsibilities...but all they need is one success*.
Gannon existence in the WH was a tremendously huge breach of security and a tremendously huge breach of ethical standards. I know those that support Bush would love for the story to be as insignificant as they think it is, but hopefully the cover-up will not continue any longer.
