So, Bettylou, that 5 people from the media denied him access to the Senate press gallery means what?
How about a reporter that feeds questions to a GI to ask the Sec of Defense? That’s kosher, but asking softball questions (like many did at Clinton conferences) is not?
That, is why it’s a non-issue.

Its a meaningless issue, Bettylou. That’s why the only people wasting time on it are the lefty blogs trying ( and failing ) to cover for Eason Jordan.

But LaShawn it is not made up, The Standing Committee of Correspondents denied him passes. It is fact that he was using a phony name, all of this has been proven. I will check out your aforementioned posts however.

I am sick of the lies and i am not alone. I am from Missouri and we like to hear and see the truth. This isn’t New York, Washington and California where people like to live in fantasy.

Trevor,

I’m with you. I saw a post on another blog (forget which) that suggested using “-quiddick” as an alternative to “-gate”. I like it. Easonquiddick!

Bettylou (Is that your real name? If it is, I don’t mean to offend. I just have to be careful of not allowing on people I’ve just banned who come back under assumed names.), I blogged about Gannon on Easongate.com. Check the link in the Black History Month post. You’ll also find links to conservative bloggers who opine about Gannon.

I, personally, think it’s a phantom scandal made-up by liberals who want to create a blog swarm like conservative bloggers.

LaShawn, why haven’t you been covering Jeff Gannon? As a fair & balanced blogger that you are I thought you would be concerned, especially since the Standing Committee of Correspondents rejected his application for credentials in 2004.

LaShawn, you were very upset with Armstrong Williams but why hasn’t this also angered you? You are a fair person. As a Republican and a strong contributor to the party I am very distressed by these lies that have been rearing their ugly heads at every turn.

This man was able to gain access into the Whitehouse in close proximity to our President under an assumed name. This is about a bad as what is happening at our borders quite frankly and I am not happy about it.

A Rising Tide Sinks All Dopes
Keep at it people… it’s working: CNN on Thursday sought to quell the media frenzy enveloping executive Eason Jordan over remarks he made during a conference last month in Davos, Switzerland, suggesting that he believed U.S. troops were deliberately…

“- he is a Republican political operative
- uses a false name
- has phony journalistic credentials
- is known for plagiarizing much of the “news” he reports
- has ties to the promotion of the prostitution of military personnel”

Except for the avowed Republican this could very well be a description of Dan ‘The Legit documents’ Rather or for that matter ward churchill, another ‘piece of work’ from the far-far-left hate Ameria first crowd, keep at it Miquel you may make it yet.

But you got me there Prostituting the Military ? Sounds to me Miquel you are in way over your head.

I mean talk about plagiarism wasn’t it Senator Biden (D, for dumb) from Delaware who plagiarized President Kennedy during his short run at the dumocrat primary back in the ’70s, but oh I forgot he has a D after his name and excuses are made for him as they make excuses for the ‘honorable’ Senator Robert Byrd (Big-D for dummer)from West Virginia, now there an oxy-moron for you, the honorable Senator from West Virginia.

“Military targets journalists”? But don’t “journalists” target the American military? By the Beard of the Prophet, may the wrath of Allah erase such miscreants! May the fleas of diseased camels infect their internal orifices!

In the spirit of Peace and Love, brother, I hereby suggest establishing a Sweepstakes to enable the consummation of Eason Jordan’s Gay Marriage to Ward Churchill, somewhere off in the Black Hills.

LaShawn..I tried to sign the petition & got a database error message. If that’s happening a lot, it’s cutting down on the number of signatories..

“Easongate” Ugh. Can we please do away with the “-gate” suffix to indicate a scandal?

Who the Heck is Jeff Gannon and Eason Jordon
If you are like me, a casual blog reader, you were hit by a dynamic duo today. Here is a bit of a recap from those “in the know.”

PlutosDad,
Pseudonyms aren’t allowed at the White House, its a security issue, ya know? This about this White House’s continuous use of propaganda. Didn’t Bush say that administration policies should be able to stand on their own two feet?

Apparently, someone in the press office doesn’t think so, or they wouldn’t have continued credentialing a sycophant from a fake news agency.
