Dangerous Security Threat Jeff Gannon Still At LargeJeff Gannon just contacted me (at least I assume he contacted me, unless someone has hacked his domain and is sending out and receiving emails from his jeffgannon.com address), and has agreed to an interview. He's also willing to take questions from readers, which I'll select. I'll try to avoid duplication and, well, just plain dumb ones. If you have a question you'd like to ask, either send it to aceofspadeshq@yahoo.com or I guess you could post it here. But try to avoid posting embarassing questions in the comments; they'd be better handled through email, I guess. After all, he's doing me a favor. Incidentally, he seems to have a pretty good sense of humor about things, and called my Gannon coverage "FUNNY STUFF." He also wouldn't mind if I let through a few moonbat questions, so that could be fun. posted by Ace at 04:19 PM
CommentsOUR FALLEN LEADER!!! (peace be upon him) I can't tell if you're being serious or not, but if you are, I have to say this is extremely cool. Posted by: George at Snapshot on February 22, 2005 04:37 PM
Jeff, 2 Questions: 1) Can you understand why people may have a problem with your journalistic style? 2) W seemingly has a bald head fetish. He has been seen touching or rubbing many bald heads. Has he ever laid a hand on your bald head? Posted by: Ryan on February 22, 2005 04:39 PM
I'm serious. I'm corresponding with someone at the jeff.gannon@jeffgannon.com address listed on what I've always believed was his actual website. Unless I'm the victim of a very good spoof, it seems real enough. Posted by: ace on February 22, 2005 04:40 PM
... then again, if you're not being serious, it's still pretty damned funny, so you win either way. But if I were to ask Jeff Gannon a question, it would be this (these): 1. Did the administration ever feed you questions, plant you in the press pool, or otherwise do anything to make you any kind of shill, barker, etc.? 2. What's the deal with the Valerie Plame story anyway? Could you sum it up for us in, say, 50 words or less? And, do you think anyone will go to jail, and if so, who? Posted by: George at Snapshot on February 22, 2005 04:44 PM
I'm wondering if His Gannonness has plans for wreaking revenge upon those who defiled his mighty name? In terms of non-beliver suffering, on a scale of Al Franken to Conan, where would his plans fall? Posted by: Iblis on February 22, 2005 05:04 PM
1. Was being a White House correspondent a dream come true for you in your career, right where you wanted to be? Or are other positions you'd be just as glad to have? 2. Are you officially, eternally banned from the briefings, or could you conceivably just apply for a day pass and get back in there? And do you plan to? Posted by: m on February 22, 2005 05:09 PM
Jeff, What type of body type do you find more attractive? a) Oliver Willis pear shape b) Markos Zuniga stocky c) Duncan Black fit d) Andrew Sullivan bulky?? Posted by: Rusty Shackleford on February 22, 2005 05:09 PM
Mr. Gannon, When did you first know or suspect that other journalists were investigating you? Posted by: lauraw on February 22, 2005 05:10 PM
Jeff, one of the more recent (unsourced) allegations to surface regarding your time as a reporter is that you frequently had the scoop ahead of anyone else. In fact, it's claimed on Aravosis' blog (which, let me be clear, I find reprehensible) that you (1) were aware of the exact time of the commencement of hostilities in Iraq, (2) shared that knowledge orally with other reporters a full four hours ahead of time. Now, that's a pretty serious charge with genuine national security implications -- can you confirm or deny it? If it is true, can you tell us who gave you this information? Posted by: Phil Smith on February 22, 2005 05:16 PM
If true this is so cool! I'll have to come up with some seriously craptastic questions. Will check back later after my medication wears off... Posted by: fat kid on February 22, 2005 05:17 PM
James: 1. Many of the lefties have said it was right to out you because you and/or Talon News published "homophobic" articles. Have you or Talon published anything about gay issues? What? Posted by: J Mann on February 22, 2005 05:43 PM
Since I can't top Rusty's assininity (not that there's anything wrong with that, Professor), I've only got one real question: Did you (the Great Gannon) ever have any direct connections with White House or Administration staff regarding your work product (questions, articles, etc.)? Aside from that, there really IS no story. And sorry the Left-o-sphere has treated you so shabbily. I may disagree with your lifestyle, but I'd never use it to attack you (or others by proxy, which is really what they're doing) Posted by: hobgoblin on February 22, 2005 05:49 PM
Can you explain why the moonbats love a congressman who takes it in the bum, but not a reporter that does likewise? Posted by: Master of None on February 22, 2005 05:55 PM
Is he going to be in Oakland anytime soon? Posted by: jeff on February 22, 2005 05:56 PM
The big question I have is: Posted by: Eric on February 22, 2005 05:59 PM
Question 1 Question2 Posted by: Sean on February 22, 2005 06:03 PM
Did you (O mighty Gannon) have any previous experience as a writer before you began working for Talon News? Posted by: Sean M. on February 22, 2005 06:24 PM
Jeff - I realize these questions are of a deeply personal nature, but I'm sure many of Ace's readers would like to see them addressed: When did you first become aware that you were "different", i.e., that you were a "journalist." Did you candidly discuss (uncloset) your "journalist" tendencies with family and close friends, and how did they react when they found out? Posted by: on February 22, 2005 06:38 PM
Damn! "At" beat me to my question. Posted by: HowardDevore on February 22, 2005 06:59 PM
I was so enthusiastic about my question I think I might have accidentally E-mailed it to Ace three times. Posted by: Jeff B. on February 22, 2005 07:04 PM
I wanna know if this muscular man's man is really a bone smuggler? Has he ever hid the salami? Has he ever shone another man's hitler helmet? has he ever had another man pack his shit? Is he a butt pirate? Does he enjoy the smell of man-ass? Is he a queer already? Posted by: Teh Fag on February 22, 2005 07:22 PM
Mr. Gannon: 1. In your absence, will conservatism survive or will it simply evolve into something totally unrecognizable? Follow up: Will you be able to remain the conservative 'straw that stirs the drink' now that you have lost your day pass? 2. Can my one's life have meaning in this new world Kos and Atrious have let loose on us. I mean, a meaning worth getting our of bed for in the morning? 3. Why does evil, exist? Are you not powerful enough to stop it or are bad things somehow part of your 'plan?' (Please do not weasel out of this by saying 'free will ' necessitates the possibility of evil choices. Why did you let bad EVENTS happen, ala the Tsunami, huh? Huh?) 4. What were all the other reporters like? I mean really. Who was always the first at the donut table grabbing the 'bear claw' or wouldn't contribute to the coffee jar but still was always helping themselves always saying they'll pitch in 'next week'? Is Helen Thomas as dreamy as she appears? Dish!

You know I love you guys, but these questions suck. :/ Medication still wearing off... Posted by: fat kid on February 22, 2005 07:35 PM
Sheesh, the fake questions. 1) What exactly does one do to get a 'Daily Pass' on a random day with no special events? 2) How intense was your background check if any? 3) Were you ever denied a daily pass? 4) What were the worst questions you heard asked? Why were they bad questions? Posted by: Al on February 22, 2005 08:01 PM
Mr. Gannon, Who is hotter, Mary Ann or Ginger? (huh? oh!) Never mind. Posted by: BrewFan on February 22, 2005 08:17 PM
Mr. Gannon, Could you please confirm the movie is already in the works? Posted by: Flowerbed on February 22, 2005 08:25 PM
Hi, this is Howard [not at] and I forgot to log in again: Mr. Gannon, I think I speak for many of Ace's readers when I say that I personally find your "journalistic" tendencies repulsive, but as good VRW Christians we've been taught to "hate the sin and not the sinner." On the other hand, Mr. Gannon, some of us have more difficulty accepting the notion that you have apparently accepted remuneration from Talon News in exchange for your "journalistic" skills. Please help us recocile this concept of your uncontrollable urges with the whole "pay for journalism" thingy. Thanks, Posted by: on February 22, 2005 08:35 PM
Mr. Gannon? Mr. Gannon? Over here, Mr. Gannon? Thank you. (standing) Um... Ray Midge... Arkansas Gazette. Uh, recently, prominent leaders on the left, Kos, Atrios, among others, have announced a new policy of 'anything goes' with regard to those with whom they disagree politcially, going so far as to endorse 'open season' on unknowns, using their sexual orientation toward their 'opponents' personal destruction (despite claimed principles contray) and other hoped-to-be-verified-later claims regarding their past life. Some have even gone so far as to claim that a recent such wilding on an never heard of journalist represents a 'major victory' and a blemish, somehow, on the white house or even conservatism rather than on themselves. My question, Mr. Gannon, how to you propose to work with people so obviously divorced from reality? Posted by: Ray Midge on February 22, 2005 09:10 PM
Who is hotter: Mr. Howell, Gilligan, the Skipper, or the Professor? Posted by: BlkMktBabyDealer on February 22, 2005 09:18 PM
Confidential to "Flowerbed": The movie is already in pre-production. Working title: "Shattered Ass". Posted by: Paul Zrimsek on February 22, 2005 09:24 PM
God the left sucks. Posted by: Marty on February 22, 2005 09:36 PM

My question: "Did you ever dick Cheney?" Posted by: Squatch on February 22, 2005 09:44 PM
1. You have said that you only registered gay porn sites because it was a requirement of your employer. Is this true? 2. Are you gay? I don't really care one way or the other but so many people are making the accusation (and gloating over it, I might add) that I would like to get a direct answer. 3. Is it difficult to get a 1 day press pass? Posted by: PlacidPundit on February 22, 2005 10:18 PM
Do you feel that there is a place for homosexuals in the Republican Party? Do you feel that the Log Cabin Group is doing justice for gay Republicans? Posted by: Jim on February 22, 2005 10:47 PM
I've been trying to break into the gay escort business for a few years now, with no luck. How much did you charge? How effective were your internet ads? Should I photoshop my gut and massive body hair away, or just put my face on some other dude's really hot bod? As an aggressive, dominating top, how do you handle requests to be a bottom? Charge more $$ and take it, or turn the business away? Posted by: John on February 22, 2005 10:54 PM
I would like to vote for Jim's question. As a gay republican I rarely hear anything about the L.C. guys, but I do wonder if such a group is really needed. For me , being a republican always revolved around an understanding that I wanted a smaller federal gvt. I just don't see why the fed gvt needs to support a gay or a straight agenda. Just leave us all the hell alone. Posted by: Marty on February 22, 2005 11:06 PM
1. What were the security clearance procedures? 2. Did you use your real name to get a press pass? Posted by: W.C. Varones on February 22, 2005 11:23 PM
"at" it again-- Jeff, I know you're having tough times right now, but I can't resist the "told you so." Dammit, man, we tried to convince you you had a steady, secure livelihood pushing M4M bareback websites, and not a thing wrong with it, either. There was absolutely no need to spread yourself for the likes of Glass, Blair, Rather, and Jordan. We hate to see you become the "Mary Mapes" of the blogosphere, but that may well be the best you can hope for at this juncture. At least you're not Moonves.

Does he have any relation whatsover with Johnny D. Gosch (abducted 1982 in Des Moines, Iowa) or James D. Gannon (editor of the Des Moines Register when Danny was abducted)? Posted by: anon on February 23, 2005 04:08 AM
Jeff, why are you wasting your 8-1/2 cut on men? Come and visit me babe, you'll never go back! Posted by: Princess in Houston on February 23, 2005 04:12 AM
Jeff: Peanut Butter, or Crunch Berries? (I want to know... I like Crunch Berries myself, and I'm worried it may indicate latent journalistic tendencies.) Posted by: krakatoa on February 23, 2005 04:40 AM
Oh I just thought of something. What will Jeff do next? I hope he will parlay all this bad press into something lucrative. Maybe a book deal or some crazy blog money? Also Im very happy for you Ace, this exclusive interview could be your ticket to some insane blog money. Posted by: Marty on February 23, 2005 07:27 AM
Maybe ask him if he's aware of other journalists that use "stage names"? Ask him why *he* did? Posted by: BLT in CO on February 23, 2005 08:56 AM
Mr. Gluckert, Has Wonkette tried to get you a book deal yet? Posted by: J Mann on February 23, 2005 10:09 AM
I'm curious if Mr. Gannon could get me the phone number of the hot dude in those ghay "weight training" blogads (that are on 75% of the righty blogs I read). That is all. Posted by: zvi wolfe on February 23, 2005 10:25 AM
1) Did you feel your best season was with the Raiders? 2) What was it like playing with Jerry Rice? Posted by: TallDave on February 23, 2005 12:23 PM
This Can Gannon set the record straight on this point once and for all? Posted by: Jeff G on February 23, 2005 12:42 PM
Why does Helen Thomas, and by association the entire left, want to destroy the gay community? In what way is it even appropriate to focus on the sexual orientation of someone who's job involves asking questions and writing down the answers? Is gayness somehow linked to bad grammer or penmenship? Is there no limit to the massive hypocricy of the Democrats? Posted by: DG on February 24, 2005 02:47 PM
Ask him if the left devoted so much "ink" to his story because he strayed from the "lavender plantation" and if he thinks the left has decided that the private lives of gay conservatives are now fair game for their "exposés." Posted by: Dan (AKA GayPatriotWest) on February 24, 2005 10:23 PM

What is the UK Regime's plan for protecting the citizens from the savage criminals they've foisted on the populace? They offer NONE. They do, however, have a plan for protecting the savage criminals from the citizens: The citizens must STAY CALM and not get angry and not share videos of citizens being attacked by savage criminals. The public keeps saying "protect us from the foreign savages you have imported against our wishes and over our objections" and the UK branch of The Regime keeps proposing plans to protect the foreign savages from the public. Soclose to what the public is demanding, just, you know, the complete opposite. Just a thought: Maybe you wouldn't have to worry about the public attacking the savage criminals if you actually introduced a plan to protect the public from the savage criminals. Maybe they wouldn't feel as if it was necessary for them to protect the public through self-help.
