Jeff, you made my day

The breaking news about Jeff Gannon (first seen in smutty blogs) seems to have been picked up semi-reputable dirt-digging blogs. Like this one at Americablog -- the format is not what we are used to for journalism, but it definitely seems to have the raw facts. God I hope this gets picked up by mainstream media if it is a real story.

When I first read about this story, I had the reaction "Who cares what he does in bed? That is what conservatives care about not me." But then I read this passage at Americablog:

This is the Conservative Republican Bush White House we're talking about. It's looking increasingly like they made a decision to allow a hooker to ask the President of the United States questions. They made a decision to give a man with an alias and no journalistic experience access to the West Wing of the White House on a "daily basis." They reportedly made a decision to give him - one of only six - access to documents, or information in those documents, that exposed a clandestine CIA operative.

So, yeah, I do care. They should care about their press room - the fact that he appears to be a sham is what matters, not that he is snaky

Let the pen of a thousand journalists bloom!
