Well, it's looking like someone in the White House feed him classified information about the attack on Iraq, since he was using the "Shock and Awe" line days before the Pentagon announced the tactic. He's also been named in the ongoing investigation into who outed Valerie Plame.
Then there's the fact that his first daily press credential was issued when he worked for GOPUSA.. a lobbying group. Talon News didn't even exist.
Finally, we have mountains of evidence, most of it written by "Gannon" himself, that he's a male prostitute. An expensive one, catering to people with a military fetish. I don't have a problem with that, but for this guy to turn around and support to most anti-gay President in history makes me sick.
Anyway, it's Gannon who's threatening lawsuits because people dug a little and found out the truth. It's all hot air from the Hot Military Stud, since he would have to show that the information was not only false, but had caused him financial or professional harm.
The main thing about this scandal that amazes me is that either nobody bothered checking him out (I wonder if I could get a press pass) and allowed this person access to the West Wing with no background check, or the White House knew who he was, and kept him around specifically to pass lowball questions. Either way, it's bad.
