Jeff Gannon, Jim Guckert, and... Prostitution?

If this were the Clinton administration, you'd be having a cow by now, McGentrix.

That explains why the escort I paid to accompany me to my senior prom kept trying to undress me on the way home. I've always wondered about that.

If that were true, why is it that escort services aren't illegal?

Perhaps they should be (or shouldn't be, if one is a libertarian), but do you really think, Tico, that escort services are simply what they purport to be?

Ticomaya:

Are you really that naive?

Were you going to answer my question, or just attempt deflection?

I've been told that some laundromats in New York are fronts for the mafia. If O'Bill were here, he would be quick to point out the name of the logical fallacy which would make the following logical leap: laundries = mafia fronts.

Dookie said Escort = Prostitution. That's flat incorrect. And instead of modifying that statement when I point out that it's incorrect, I'm asked if I'm naive.

Yep. You are that naive.

You do like to play loose with facts. I think that much is well-known. Goes to your credibility, IMO.

No, they just think they are being cute.

What exactly is it in an "escort" service that requires a disclaimer that one is "top only"????

Did your escort make that clear to you, Coastal Rat?

So, then, what services are provided by "escorts" who advertise on pornographic sites? Please, Ticomaya, do tell us the facts.

"Escort" services. May or may not involve prostitution. Clear enough?

Never mind the fact that WH security is so loose that a person can get a pass with a fake name. Lets discuss whether any "gay escort" services actually provided non sexual escorts for the Black Tie and Boot Ball. What is the point of Homeland Security if all you have to do is pretend to work for a RW blog to get into the WH?

I agree that's the most disturbing aspect. The gay escort is a head-shaking, can-ya-believe-it? sidebar, but the most important aspect of this is the astonishing breach of security and the "news" implications. (Especially coming hard on the heels of the paid NCLB-flogger.)

Actually I don't think she did. But then again, I didn't read the fine print.

You're even more naive than I realized. Ticomaya.

I would venture to guess that those individuals who advertise to be an escort on a college campus for the sole purpose of safety issues would not be equated to prostitution. Perhaps that is what you are eluding to. But they also generally don't advertise on pornographic sites, either.

Meanwhile, Jeff Gannon shows us his John Thompson on a gay, pornographic site, and tells us that he prefers the "top only."

It's really quite humorous watching the likes of Ticomaya try to spin this one.

Speaking of security, I wonder why Jeff Gannon/Guckert, whatever, was the only "journalist" to have access to the Valerie Plame files? Or did he really?

Once again, neoconservative bullshite and hypocrisy reign supreme in this regard.

Honesty and integrity have fallen to new lows with this administration. Answering softball questions from a male prostitute who works for a fake news organization would be unheard of in the past.

But not now. That's Bush's integrity in a nutshell.

I think you're confusing naivete with sticking to the facts.

What facts, Ticomaya? The fact that gay escorts who advertise on pornographic sites and who state that they prefer "top only" are selling their services for a good time?

Or are you totally fixated on another fact completely unrelated to this story?

My guess is the latter. But you continue to spin wildly on this one.

And so it goes with the party of family values moral majority, Dook.

While the gay prostitute info is interesting, the fake name, access to the president and McClellan, Valerie Plame outing, and fake news are more important aspects of the story as far as national security.

I'd even say that per chance Bulldog might really be hanging around the White House for other reasons. One would think Bush supporters might question for who and does that leave us open perhaps to blackmail? Espionage? Other threats?

It is a sorry testament to how Bush really feels about homeland national security, I guess. What if a terrorist, working for a fake news agency, could get access to a Bush press conference posing as a neoconservative shill for the administration?

I'm sure Al Qaeda is considering that scenario after this Jeff Gannon fiasco.

But then again, Bush and Rice have stated that they never thought for a moment that hijackers would fly commercial planes into tall buildings, either.

So, either this administration is extraordinarily stupid, or they truly do not care about the safety of this country.

Once again, I go with the latter...
