Shortchanging Gannon
The David Margolick/Richard Gooding Vanity Fair article profiling Jeff Gannon is surprisingly obtuse, in political terms. Sadly, the cooperation of Propagannon principals in the article didn't make it any sharper. By Michael Dietz.

Vanity Fair: Bulldog's Fluffer
It looks like the Vanity Fair piece is long on apologetics but short on the things we already knew:
No real details on how Guckert got into the White House a full month before the Secret Service has him recorded as "logged in". Who was he working for between January 15, 2003 and February 25, 2003? What went on during that infamous meeting between Guckert/Gannon and Bobby Eberle in March 2003?

Is Bobby Eberle's long climb through the ranks of the Texas Republican Party over?
Those of you who have been here awhile know what
Bobby and I stand for, who we are, and what our values are by what you see on
this website and by the way we conduct ourselves.
This story involves the personal life of a former associate of Talon News and
further discussion would be inappropriate.
...Terri Hillhouse, GOPUSA Forum Administrator, upon hearing the news of Jeff Gannon's porn websites.
But, what are Bobby and Terri's values? We're supposed to determine that by what we see on their website.

Pro Wrestling Republican Coalition
This page is only available in archive.org.
Because archive.org often won't display the page, I'm reproducing it below the jump.
