So I'm not the only one who noticed this
Posted by Jill | 9:36 PM

Just for giggles, I stopped over at JimmyJeff's blog today to see what kind of lunatic ravings he had up today and found this intriguing little tidbit:

I watched a clip of Sen. Joe Biden on Bill Maher's HBO crapfest. I wonder why he didn't mention meeting me some years ago. C'mon Joe, think...


Is Gannonguckert outing Joe Biden? And if so, what do we have to offer him to get him to spill the beans on everyone else? Is he the Official It's Not Gay If You're A Top Hooker of the entire city of Washington, D.C.? We already know that the BBC is reporting Time Magazine's White House correspondent Matthew Cooper as saying that Washington is eating the Gannonguckert story up (so to speak):

It's got everything that gets gossip going. It's got sex, it's got national security, how did he get so close to the president? The pseudonym, it's got intrigue, so it's the kind of thing that gets people talking.


Yet Neither Time, nor Newsweek, nor any other major publication, has picked up on it. You can bet that if the President's name were "Bill Clinton", they'd be all over it. Which kind of makes me wonder just how wide a net JimmyJeff cast, and who he entrapped in it.

And it's not just me....the King of All Investigative Bloggers, John Aravosis, who's been all over this story from day one, noticed it too:

Now, GannonGuckert is either lying or telling the truth. If he's lying, his already sinking credibility will sink even further. If he's telling the truth, however, then things get even more interesting with this story as "some years ago" would be at least two years ago, and it's only two years that Gannon has been covering the White House. That would put GannonGuckert and Biden's "meeting" smack dab in the middle of Gannon's known prostitution years.

And if GannonGuckert is suggesting he slept with a senior US Senator (who is one of the top Senators on foreign policy issues) for pay during war time, then all bets are off on this investigation. That would mean we were right to be concerned about the security risk of GannonGuckert getting access to the White House, senior staff and the president. It would mean we were right to be concerned about who GannonGuckert might have slept with as a client to gain and retain access to the White House, and possibly sensitive information. It would mean we were right to ask what connection GannonGuckert has to Senator Thune in South Dakota, to Karl Rove, to Scott McClellan, and more.

If Gannon really wants to go there, then have at it. Because he's starting to make the case for one hell of an FBI investigation.


I quote Robert Graves from I, Claudius: "Let all the poisons that lurk in the mud hatch out."

Whosever mud they're lurking in.
