On "Gannon"-gate
It's important to now ask the questions that have been hanging over this topic since this whole "Gannon"-gate scandal began to erupt.0 comments
Who inside the Bush White House has James D. Guckert been fucking?
And just what state secrets has that person been telling?
Whoever it is, they brought Guckert fully into the warm and fuzzy White House family. With all due powers and protections.
He has a powerful sponsor somewhere within this administration who has cleared the way for him every step of the way. This person has also been whispering sweet little national security nothings in Guckert's ear.
Simply put, someone in the Bush White House has been passing state secrets to J.D. Guckert.
Who was it?
The Bush administration owes the American people full disclosure on this nationally damaging development, possibly the greatest breech of American security since the months before September 11, 2001.
What is most notable about this entire mess is that it's not akin to simple White House Power/Sex scandals a la Warren G. Harding, or the Clinton-Lewinsky affair, but rather a Sex-for-Secrets scandal a la Britain's Profumo Sex Scandal of 1963.
This is the type of scenario over which governments topple and careers are ruined.
The facts of Guckert's bragging of the "shock & awe" Iraq invasion approach days before the Pentagon announced it; his knowing that the president was going on the air in four hours to announce the attack before anyone else in the press corps had any idea or inkling of such a thing, and his illegally having access to the sensitive CIA-Valerie Plame operative information, which was known by only 5 or 6 individuals within the White House itself—along with his hatchet job on Tom Daschle, and his now notorious inabilities to keep his mouth shut or tell the same story the same way twice—makes this a pillow-talk scenario of the most horrific kind.
It now clearly appears that Guckert has had access to untold amounts of sensitive national information through a sexual relationship with a White House figure(s).
None of Guckert's activities would have been allowed to proceed unhindered without direct approval from on high within the Bush White House. Ask Ari Fleischer.
The quaint Sixties' Homosexual Blackmail Theory—once thought to be a relic of an antique world—rears its ugly head once again.
What if Guckert had threatened to disclose the identity of the WH member(s) involved?
More damning: What if some other country or terrorist group had decided to blackmail Mr. Guckert into becoming its operative within the White House?
The dark possibilities are endless and mind-boggling for the future and safety of this great nation.
All this from a White House where cojones are particularly prized.
Perhaps now we see why.
I'll post the URLs that have followed the story most closely in the next post.
