Sue me, jerkoff.

Gannon's Enemies List

Jeff Gannon is considering suing liberal interest groups, bloggers and others for a "political assassination" that drove him from his job as a reporter for a conservative news outfit called Talon News, he told NEWSWEEK. Gannon, whose real name is James Guckert, singled out Media Matters -- a "well-funded" liberal group headed by longtime "attack dog" David Brock. ("Everything we wrote about him came from the public record," Brock replied.)

It remains unclear how Gannon got routine White House press access for nearly two years; he acknowledged he first began getting clearance to White House press briefings in early 2003 as a representative of GOPUSA, a group headed by Texas GOP activist Bobby Eberle-months before Eberle even created Talon News. Gannon said he had no access to White House aides outside the press room, nor did he try to interview any. When President Bush called on him at a press conference last month-during which he asked a question with false info about Sen. Harry Reid-"nobody was more surprised than myself," said Gannon.


"Gannon" is a male prostitute, Republican shill, and known liar.

If he doesn't like these facts, he can sue me. I'd love to see him on the stand, under oath, explaining a few things...

The post was about Gannon's intent to sue people for writing abount him, his lack of credentials, his escort service.. you know, facts?

Hence the title of my post "Sue me, jerkoff". A suit would be heard in a courtroom, and in a civil suit for libel "Gannon" would have to testify to establish the harm caused by people telling the truth about him.

Nobody ever even mention a criminal charge, although if he turns out to be Bob Novak's source on Valerie Plame, things change. Exposing a CIA agent is a felony.

So he sues. Refer to my comments about him being "punk-ass wannabe."

What I find interesting is the screaming about his being a homosexual prostitute. If he had being shilling for the other side and this much fuss was made over that fact, he'd have lawyers lining up to help him pursue a case of "Hate Speech" against him.
