I’m sure all the truth in the bizarre Jeff Gannon/James Guckert episode will eventually play out without any thoughts on my part, but I have some to contribute anyway. While there has been much speculation how a homosexual prostitute might “be subject to blackmail,” no one has turned that around into “might be inclined to blackmail.” After all, why would a man who sells his exclusive services at multiple websites have to hide?
The other big question is how he arranged to get daily passes to White House press briefings with no security checks? The answer is obvious one you suspect him of being the blackmailer instead of the “blackmailee.”
Somebody high in the holiest-of-holies, somebody in the inner sanctum, hired him for his non-journalistic talents, maybe for a weekend, then Jeff/James politely asks for access. Who, in this homophobic administration, would dare to turn him down?
Look at it another way. Suppose a really stupid blonde with large boobies and no journalistic skills had suddenly starting showing up at Bill Clinton’s Presidential press conferences, asking really dumb but flattering questions and maybe even breaking into an almost in tune rendition of “Happy Birthday, Mr. President.” What questions would the responsible press be asking then?
My question is, “Who’s living in a closet in the White House?” Maybe nobody is, but it’s the simplest explanation until something more likely comes along.
