James Guckert is a (Media) Whore

Just didn't want anyone to forget that, for a guy who spent two years as a right-wing shill persecuting others, he's playing the part of a victim pretty well.

Witness the sad rantings of a man tormented and oppressed by the mean ol' liberals right here. Poor widdle fake weporter!

Read with delight the questions that have gone unasked at White House press briefings on his website.

Here are some questions I'd ask: why isn't this guy being questioned about the Valerie Plame CIA leak?! Hmmm? Why has the MSM abandoned this story, just when it was getting interesting? How did "Gannon" know about the beginning of the Iraq war hours before it happened? How did he get press credentials before Talon News was even created? And - seriously - why was a gay prostitute allowed to hang out with the White House press corps for TWO YEARS, without anyone saying anything? I mean, at the very least, don't you think being a male escort would raise some eyebrows? Especially in a White House that is so homophobic, Liz Cheney becomes outraged if her daughter Mary is referred to as a lesbian.

I'm all for second chances. But when you've proven yourself to be a liar, a hypocrite, and a shill, you sorta forfeit your claim to righteous indignation. Live by the sword, die by the sword, and all that...

And as AMERICAblog reminds us:
