AmericaBlog's big Gannon story...

Well, here it is.  It appears that Gannon/Guckert was, in fact, an actual male prostitute.

I have a hard time getting excited (a-thank you very much) about this, although I do admit that the fact that he appears to be a prostitute (with some confirmed liaisons) is much more important than that he was gay.

The fact is, it appears more and more clear that the White House allowed a person who they knew was using a pseudonym into the Press Room, and that person was a gay male prostitute. 

Can we get some work done on the Valerie Plame angle now, please?

Hope I'm not repeating: we've all read so much about
Guckannon that we can't remember who said what - maybe it
was I!? What's the matter with this scene: Gannon is
known to McClellan to be an extreme right-winger with
no credentials except for a body which he'll sell to any
guy, and a radio host's ability to talk, usually about not
much. Mac spreads the word and gets him into the press
room (with no press job!) Mac (or maybe Ari) knows of the
Plame memo and with the OK of Libby or Cheney or another of those nice folks, gives the memo of Jeffim, then calls
Novak to give him headsup - " you'll get a call from Gannon:
Listen to him, I'm telling you that what he's got is safe to run with." This happens with other reporters.
Grand jury asks if Novak has talked to Whitehouse people: he can deny getting the info from anybody there.
Nobody on grand jury will ask if Novak talked to Gannon:
they know nothing about Gannon's having the info about
Plame.
Make any sense at all??

That scenario makes a lot of sense to me... on the surface it might be a little too "deep-throat"-ish, but the more one hear's from this story, the more the implausible seems plausible.
