Gannon fodder

If this were a movie, the revelation that a potential GAY PROSTITUTE was posing as a White House journalist and had access to classified CIA documents would be the smoking gun needed to bring down a corrupt government, drunk on its own power. And everyone would say, "That's so contrived. That could never happen in real life."

Well, welcome to real life.


It's too bad that the left has jumped the gun on this story - as our friend Paul notes, we've blown our load. Not enough main stream media interest had been generated yet before EVERYTHING we had was on the table. Way to go, poker face. The Monica story took some time to build steam, forcing then-President Clinton to address it on National TV. AND THAT'S WHEN THEY GOT 'IM. We haven't forced ANYTHING. And now they know what we've got. The White House and the GOP have disowned Guckert faster than you can say Talon News, and still, does the average Joe and Jane American know who this douchebag is? Nope.


Meanwhile, Guckert is keeping his mouth shut, so there goes any chance that we'll get him to further incriminate himself.

And while Daily Kos tells us why this all matters and Media Matters spells out his connection to the "Plame Leak", the Wingnuts are already 'tsk-tsk'ing the bloggers for "ruining" this poor man's life. Cry me a river.

It's hypocrisy revealed. It's state sponsored propaganda and the majority of Americans are content with allowing this to happen. It's 1984 and the Ministry of Truth, but instead of rebellion against Big Brother, most people are scrambling to get a job with The Party, hoping to take credit for punishing free-thinkers like Winston. We are living in an age of Doublethink, where contradictions are accepted and we don't let facts get in the way of our perceptions.

Have fun at Joycamp.
