Blogs abuzz

Militantly homophobic "journalist" Jeff Gannon from Talon "news" has resigned after charges of military prostitution. This guy's the Bush administration peon who sucked up to McClellan and threw softballs when White House press conferences got too hard-hitting and uh, actually adhered to some semblance of a journalistic standard. There's also questions about his ties to the Valerie Plame scandal, in which the covert CIA agent's name was leaked by the press, allegedly in retaliation for her husband's charges that the Bush administration exaggered the Iraqi threat.

It's cool if you want to be a prostitute (though I'm thinking it's especially illegal to solicit yourself to the military), whatever floats your boat, but don't be a hypocrit by bashing gays in unison with (my favorite Senator) Rick Santorum (you really must check out that link...heh), and ESPECIALLY don't act like you're an honest objective journalist when you're really Bush's bitch. Great opportunity to knock the Bush White House off their moral highground, but I doubt the "liberal media" will jump on it as much as they did that stained blue dress.
