Will Gannon be the new Lewinsky?

[tallahasseedem]

With all of this information leaking about how Gannon was in the White House, it is possible that we may have a new Lewinsky scandal? If so, how big could this thing possibly get? (provided the msm pursues it)

1. One can only hope.

19. link to gannon's sex-web sites..jeff's sex parts are modestly blocked-out

jeff gannon's whole sordid story is well-documented at this link....all sex photos of jeff have 'covers' over the sex parts, so you won't have to worry about actually 'looking' at jeff's sex apparatus...HOWEVER, the site contains additional links going to his actual PHOTOS that jeff used to advertise....photos of naked jeff, posing bent over, full erection, urinating and more....so be careful....we must be careful not to offend anyone here on DU....some are very easily offended, and I recommend those CALL YOUR CONGRESSIONAL REPS about jeff gannon's visits to bush* White House, in the evening, on Sundays, on no-press-conference days, for hours and hours at a time, and staying overnight....

3. No, he won't. But we we can all pray this story gets more play.

I have a sick feeling Bush won't be touched by any significant scandal, despite how disastrous his eight years will be.

[FreedomAngel82]

22. Probably not

But who would go down then?? McClellan? In one of the many Gannon threads here there was a story where it was said that he (McClellan) was rumored to be seen at gay bars in Texas and Gannon lived there for a while. Where they there the same time? :shrug: How did Bush get McClellan into his administration anyways?

[LiberalVoice]

4. Nope

If it was it would have blown up like Lewinsky did...Its been months and already no one is talking about it but us.

[FreedomAngel82]

23. The thing to remember

is they control the media. Clinton didn't. Only thing we can do is get it out word of mouth and people like Olbermann.

[MADem]

26. Please forgive phrasing that appears rather like a bad pun

...but it did take some time for Lewinsky to "blow" as it were. There were rumors circulating well before the story got stolen from an editor at Newsweek and pasted on Drudge, because a lot of people thought it unusual that such a young girl would get such a good job working for Ken Bacon, when her only previous experience was xeroxing and stuffing envelopes in the East Wing. It caused a great deal of angst, though in her defense she was fairly diligent in her job, at least initially. Then, when she was seen buddying about with Tripp in the Pentagon outside in the smoking area there was more tongue wagging (Tripp had a rep of her own, talk about HATED--used to love to play her White House card).

Actually, if you look at the timeframe from when Newt shut down Congress (very late 95--and THAT was when Monica first flashed her thong at Bill) and when the story broke (Jan 98), it's more or less the same.

But I'd wager that there was way more 'action' involved in the JimmyJeff case.

According to the SS FOIA release, Gannon first visited the WH in February 03 (2/25/03 11:46 - 1:25 (briefing 12:26-1:03), and his last visit was February of this year - 2/7 12:10 - 3:00 (1:45-1:06).

Two years, give or take, of "fun" in both cases before questions started to be asked. But once the genie (or the GiGi) was out of the bottle, there was no putting it back in! I'd be VERY surprised if this doesn't slowly start to snowball--it took a while for Monica to gain mainstream traction too, a week or more, and then it was off to the races....

5. Some low-level grunt at the Press Office will take the fall for letting

Gannon in...and that will be the end of that.

[bigwillq]

6. Don't think the MSM will pursue it but

we as DEMS should make those involved accountable for their actions. How we go about doing this I don't really know at this point. Any suggestions?

[tallahasseedem]

8. I agree.

I too am unsure. I do believe, however, that the Lewinsky deal was in the works for a while before it blew up. So who knows?

[bigwillq]

16. Unless relations took place

from a White House insider (McClellen or the like) I don't think this story will go much further. But we need to pursue it still. We need to hold these fucking wacko right-wing nutballs accountable.

[FreedomAngel82]

24. Exactly

There's still a lot of mystery to this story. Like how some times he was logged in and out and other times not. Also why was he there when no other press person was? How did HE get invited to White house only parties and why was he there on election night?

[whistle]

7. Only if he blabs to Linda Tripp

[DearAbby]

9. I am really wondering if Lewinsky wasn't a GOP Set-up

It's not really the sexual aspect of this that bothers me, (although it can be used to bring this story to the top of the sludge, that is passed for news today) its the unlimited access this person had without Secret Service scrutiny that bothers me. How and why was this person allowed into the White House in this time of Heightened alert?

Why aren't there concerned citizens reporting this on MSM? :shrug:

[uppityperson]

13. It is the sex part you hypocritical liberal (that's sarcasm)

Concerned citizens either are yelling or believe the conserative BS that all this is is a bunch of hypocritical liberals protesting the sex part and ignoring the how and why did he get into the white house aspect. MSM is controlled by these guys so this is what is getting out. I get so darn mad at them. (I am trying to not swear today)

[FreedomAngel82]

25. I got that

idea popped into my head as well. Wondering if Lewinsky was a setup by the GOP. How she loved to tell her story too happily.

[gumby]

10. Calling 'Mickey' Isikoff.....

What? He's out to lunch? On vacation? Otherwise engaged? ....

[emulatorloo]

15. Doesn't fit Isikoff's agenda. . . .n/t

[EFerrari]

11. No. It's too scary for old baldheaded white guys.

Monica came off as a victim. There is no script were JimmyJeff could be a victim, even if he was one in fact.

[hector459]

12. No, but he should be. It's much worse than Lewinsky.

But the RW hypocrites will cover for him and get the MSM to ignore the story.

[KansDem]

14. Only if you have a blue dress. Or in this case, blue jeans...

The public needs a visual before it will truly understand this...

[Wizard777]

17. What do you mean "will?" I thought he was?

The real question is will the evangelical conservative christian right be able to heal him of his homosexuality so he and Monica can get married? Actually they should marry him off to Linda Tripp. They will need someone to keep an eye on him to make sure he doesn't back slide. But then again if he does marry Linda Tripp. Why wouldn't he back slide? Interesting conundrum.

[elehhhhna]

18. Way, hey, blow the man down, Jeffie.

[Maddy McCall]

20. No, because there isn't any Starr to persue it. But it should be.

[orpupilofnature57]

21. NO, because the Dem's don't have a kkkarl, and are preoccupied

with boring facts and figures on life for the other 87%, on the planet.

[diamond14]

27. YES.... jeff gannon has it all : gay-sex, blackmail, espionage, bush*

it's a made for TV expose on the rot in the bush* pResidency....


it's been all over the news for 2 months and includes SEVERAL Congressional investigations.....

[tallahasseedem]

29. We can only hope!

Someone has to have something. Hopefully they will break down.

[Mz Pip]

28. Unless there were

blow jobs in the Oval Office, I kind of doubt it.

Who cares if he was blowing Scott McClelland, or Ari Fliescher or Karl Rove. It would have to go to the top.

Now maybe some stains on one of Laura's dresses... hmmmmm. That could work.
