"Gannon's" role in Valerie Plame CIA-Gate?
"White House-credentialed fake news reporter "Jeff Gannon" from fake news agency "Talon News" was cited by the Washington Post as having the only access to an internal CIA memo that named Joseph Wilson's wife, Valerie Plame, as a covert CIA agent. Gannon, in a question posed to Wilson in an October 2003 interview, referred to the memo (to which no other news outlet had access, according to the Post). Gannon subsequently has been subpoenaed by the federal grand jury looking into the Plame outing."
WHO IS THIS GANNON GUY?
**He has just QUIT per Markos, who has talked to Howard Kurtz about it. This is getting to be a weird story, people.
At JeffGannon.com, it says:"Jeff Gannon
A Voice of the New Media
The voice goes silent.
Because of the attention being paid to me I find it is no longer possible to effectively be a reporter for Talon News. In consideration of the welfare of me and my family I have decided to return to private life.
Thank you to all those who supported me."
Wow! I mean, why would he quit just because someone was "paying attention" to him?**
HOW WAS IT THAT HE WAS THE LONE PERSON WHO WAS ABLE TO GAIN ACCESS TO THIS MEMO?
WHAT'S UP WITH THE FAKE NEWS AGENCY? IS IT A FRONT?
WE MUST PRESS THIS ISSUE.

World O'CrapYes, we're talking about "Jeff Gannon, Washington Bureau Chief, Talon News" -- Talon News being the rinkydink wingnut "news service" chaired by the same guy who runs GOP USA (the wingnut site that is less upscale than Renew American, but slightly more professional than BushCountryUSA, and apparently run by various members of the Texas GOP).

Predictably and typical of his usual propaganda-pushing, Sean Hannity has called Gannon a "terific Washington Bureau Chief".
Bobby Eberle / GOPUSA - I had Bobby's "number" long before now. (See third comment on this post).
