Today's lesson in political reality: It's not gay if Conservatives do it

ëLiberalí Media Silent About Guckert Saga

PRESS RELEASE: White House Contradiction

Proof that “the liberal media” is but a figment of right-wing mythology has now arrived in the person of one James Guckert, formerly known as Jeff Gannon. Were the American media truly liberal√≥or merely unafraid to be called liberal√≥the saga of Mr. Guckert√≠s short, strange, quasi-journalistic career would be resounding across the airwaves. The intrinsic media interest of the Guckert/Gannon story should be obvious to anyone who has followed his tale, which touches on hot topics from the homosexual underground and the investigation into the outing of C.I.A. agent Valerie Plame to the political power of the Internet. But our supposedly liberal media becomes quite squeamish when reporting anything that might humiliate the Bush White House and the Republican Party.

Anyone who has seen the video clip of “Jeff Gannon’s” question/cum ego-massage “divorced from reality” shtick knows what a freakin’ moron the man is. That “Gannon” was granted a notoriously difficult to come by White House press pass should be an indication of the degree to which BushCo’s propaganda machine will go to get their “message” across to a salivating, unquestioning American electorate.

Given the nature of the group handjob that passes for your average George W. Bush press conference, it’s surprising the “Gannon” was every actually exposed for the gay prostitute and overall fraud he in actuality is. Of course, this is the same Administration that paid Armstrong Williams something like a quarter-million dollars to trumpet the virtues of “No Child Left Behind” and also hired Maggie Gallagher to lend credibility to BushCo’s advocacy of the virtues of marriage. Honesty and integrity seem not to be high on this Administration’s list of priorities.

Not being able to push their agenda on it’s own merits, BushCo has resorted to using your tax dollars to purchase support. To call this corruption would be to give this Administration a free pass. This is a President who has endeavored to present himself as a moral, Christian leader with a functioning moral compass. Of course, anyone with a grip on reality would recognize this as patently absurd. The Bush Administration is no different from any other corrupt Republican Administration. They’ve simply been able to convince the White House press corps that it is in their best interest to act like sheep.

I dream of the day when someone (other than Helen Thomas) will stand up and ask Our Sainted President one simple question” “WHEN WILL YOU STOP LYING TO US?” When will you tell us the truth about Iraq, Medicare, Social Security, etc., etc., ad infinitum, ad nauseum?? Of course, until the American public demands that this take place, BushCo will have a free pass to continue to push their neo-Conservative agenda and passing off their propaganda as news.

If the example of “Jeff Gannon”, Armstrong Williams, and Maggie Gallagher don’t clue you in as to the moral vacuum that the Bush Administration operates in, it’s TIME TO WAKE UP AND SMELL THE CAT LITTER!! If you’re not angry, you’re clearly not paying attention…and that is EXACTLY what George W. Bush and his minions are counting on.

Evil thrives on ignorance. No wonder it’s flourishing in the White House.
