As you’ve likely heard by now, Jeff Gannon (formerly of the Talon News Service), has denied (in an interview with Editor & Publisher) that he was subpoenaed in the Valerie Plame leak investigation, or that he has any special ties to the White House.
But now lefty site AMERICAblog, run by Washington DC-based writer and political consultant, John Aravosis, is set to blow this story wide open. WIDE OPEN!
The clues thus far: a photo of a watch; a bulldog; mention of some “invoices” that Aravosis has procured.
Developing….
He sold his bulldog to buy a watch? Unfeeling bastard!
Gannon….Gannon….Gannon. Oh, that guy. Gay, huh?
Well, shit, I have invoices, too. Let’s see…rubber chicken….Three Stooges whoopee cushion…lifetime membership in the Right-Wing Hack Toadies of Jeff Goldstein Club…ten cases of Big-Ass ham….hmmmm…what’s this….oops (note to self: toss that).
ha. keyword: “away”
Is this guy’s blog actually an extended conceptual joke?
Because I can’t believe he’s serious about these cryptic, mock-paranoid posts. (“I HAVE THE DOCUMENTS! IF THE AGENTS COME TO MY DOOR, INFECT ME WITH TUBERCULOSIS AND BULK-ERASE MY HARD DRIVE, KNOW THAT MY FILES HAVE BEEN BACKED UP WITH FRIENDS! THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE! I AM A CITIZEN JOURNALIST!!)
As Compassionate Conservatives could we all just pony up to buy the guy a new tinfoil hat?
Holy crap… don’t tell me the reality-based-ers have actually procured the invoices!
Quick… itch-sway to an-plan ee-Bay! annon-Gay must be acrificed-say. They mustn’t find out about at-Bay oy-Bay!
Yoyu guys can laugh all you want–you know as well as I do that Gannon’s just a string, a thread and if these guys keep pulling it, the whole conspiracy will be revealed.
If that happens, we’re all toast. I’m closing my accounts and packing up and heading for the Ozarks, man. You’d be smart to do the same thing, only don’t come to the Ozarks, okay?
They’ll be expecting that.
This has me as worked up as Josh Marshall’s ‘I Have The Real Uranium-Niger-Yellow-Cake-Story … it’s Big, BIG, Just You Wait’
still waiting.
No doubt he got them from Lucy Ramirez.
(Turing word—I’m not making this up—‘rather’.)
Somebody really ought to write the poor guy a “Dear John” letter. Let him off the hook, so to speak. He seems to be leaking, and that’s not a good thing.
The VRWC must be shaking in their boots with the huge revelations coming out about this third-stringer for a fourth-string news service.
I mean, if they can get Gannon, who’s next? The society editor from the Ottumwa Gazette, who was paid by Farmer Brown’s wife to turn up her nose at her neighbor’s daughter’s nuptials, thereby retaining her place in the county pecking order?
And all we got was a lousy ol’ head of CNN News.
Not exactly a big victory.
Jeff who?
“Hey Eason! I got yer “kerfluffle” right here, bitch!”
Mark – of course “As It Happens” is a product of the CBC, left leaning, liberal government taxpayer supported propaganda.
There’s a decent internet link from 9-12 EST where you can listen live to some real dissent. I’m sure there are many more, so you’ll see we’re not really all whackjobs, just need a bit of time to turn this spaceship around. We were once proud!
Diana, I myself am descended from…ahem…
…not just Canadians: French Canadiens (my grandma was Quebecois). So I can’t really toss rocks without braining myself on that one.
Heh! Can’t claim Quebecois, but my grandfather was American.
Via “John in DC” at this “Americablog”:
“Even more photos show Jeff wearing the same silver watch with a black band that Jeff Gannon is known to sport. Some show that Jeff and Jeff Gannon have the same short and pointed eyebrows, same ears, same face structure, chest structure and nipples. Same wrinkles/creases in their stomachs when they bend forward. The resemblance is astonishing.”
Methinks “John in DC” needs a towel!
