Former homosexual male prostitute cum disgraced former White House correspondent, James “Jeff Gannon” Guckert has decided to ring in in support of Ann Coulter’s recent posting of private information of a BRAD BLOG Guest Blogger on her website.
It’s been three days since Coulter posted a personal email address and phone number of author and actress Lydia Cornell on the front page of her website. The petulant act by the Republican talking head was in apparent retaliation for an article written for BRAD BLOG by Cornell which described her experience in trying to track down a copy of a fundraiser address Coulter had given recently for the Alachua Florida Republican Party in which she called for the repression of free speech by Democrats.
Cornell has received myriad threatening emails and crank callers in the three days since Coulter posted her private information online. She has asked Coulter to remove it and Coulter has so far refused.
In support of Coulter’s invasion of Cornell’s privacy, Guckert/Gannon, a shill who had worked in the White House for GOPNews.com until his secret background as a prostitute was exposed, attempted to defend the Rightwing polemicist yesterday on his website by claiming:
Gannon/Guckert presented no evidence to back up his assertion. His reported presence at the White House more than two dozen times when no press briefings were scheduled — as described in Secret Service documents obtained by RAW STORY — has never been explained. Gannon/Guckert had no previous journalistic experience before being granted access as journalist to the White House.
Of course, The BRAD BLOG has never posted any such information, as claimed by Guckert/Gannon, but we checked in today with John Aravosis who was instrumental in uncovering the Guckert/Gannon scandal when it first appeared on his AMERICAblog website. He was the first to post links to Gannon’s several military-themed gay escort websites (including MilitaryStud.com and MaleCorps.com) featuring full frontal nude photos which Guckert/Gannon had posted of himself online.
Aravosis, who followed the story as close as anybody, tells The BRAD BLOG that he’s unfamiliar with anybody having ever published Gannon/Guckert’s phone number, home address or medical records anywhere on line. Though he says that when he was alerted to a commenter at AMERICAblog having posted what appeared to be Gannon/Guckert’s Social Security number in the comments section, he removed it immediately.
Aravosis strongly disagreed with Gannon/Guckert’s claim. “We never knew where he lived. We still don’t!” Aravosis told us. “We never had his phone number. Nobody did as far as I know. All the top journalists that I know of had to contact him by email since he never gave his phone number to anybody!”
“As to his medical records,” he continued, “The only records we tried to find was his military records because he said he was a marine…and it turned out he was lying!”
Aravosis draws the difference between his work uncovering a phony journalist in the White House being “outed” by his own online websites featuring his own nude photos with what Coulter has done to Cornell.
“It’s kind of creepy,” he said, “posting someone’s personal phone number. When I saw his Social Security number come up in comments, I deleted it immediately. But Coulter is purposely posting that information herself on her own website. I’ve never used anybody’s home information…that’s just creepy.”
On her website today, Coulter claims she will be appearing tonight on Bill O’Reilly’s The O’Reilly Factor.
As Cornell pointed out in her initial public response to all of this, O’Reilly had slammed the Media Matters watchdog organization when he claimed they “violated privacy” by posting someone’s email address online. Though the email address posted was a public email address, O’Reilly characterized those who would do such a thing as “zombies.”
Thanks to the posters at Democratic Underground for alerting us to the latest chapter in this shameful saga. A discussion on this, and the continued unanswered questions concerning the Gannon/Guckert story is linked here.
O’Reilly will be hosting zombie, Ann Coulter tonight on Fox “News” at 8pm ET.
Ann needs all the credible support she can get right now. Quality individuals like these are what make up the Reich wing.
Nice job, Brad. I’m new to blogging, but this is the funniest post I’ve seen on a blog yet. Looks like another rightwing attempted hit job foiled.
The ability of these people to shamelessly lie is unprecedented. I was listening to Thom Hartmann today and he was saying he thought the Republican’s conscience is getting to them. This may be the case with some of the rank and file, but as for the leadership I haven’t seen evidence of it.
Dang. Their mods are quick at jeffgannon.com. My comments were expelled within 17 minutes. I wanted to know never whether he thought Deuce Bigalow 2 was better than the original.
Strange to hear from "Jeff Gannon" again. Nice to have support from such a reputable member of the Republican media echo chamber. I’m sure Coulter’s proud to get his support.
So, has anybody ever hear about Jeff Gannon/James Guckert actually being Johnny Gorsch (not sure about spelling), the original milk carton kid? I remember that the late great Andy Stephenson was on TV (MSNBC?) with Gorsh’s mom saying that Gannon/Guckert was Johnny. It involved a sordid tale of being snatched from the streets as a 10 year old (in the 80s) and re-appearing 7 or 8 years back to visit his mom for a few minutes, telling a horrible story of being molested as a child by the rich and powerful. After visiting his mom, Johnny vanished again. Andy knew Mom Gorsh and, thru a tip, heard that all the JGs were the same guy. On TV, Gannon would not give a straight answer as to if the poor woman was his mom.
All in all, a really horrible story…
Truth is making some of the right wing warriors behave very ugly.
It’s just TERRIBLE, TRULY TRAGIC, that male escort cum joke-journalist cum professional victim Gucket/Gannon/Gorsch or whoever the hell this guy REALLY is was the target of all those Oreo cookies that’ve been flying around the air like hordes of locusts lately!!!
What a liar!
badly.
I heard the story that Gannon was supposedly Gosch, and I think Gosch’s mother was on MSNBC quite awhile ago. Mainstream media never picked up on this story, and I never heard much more about it after the White House press core prostitute story died down.
OK, we had the Armstrong Williams, et al., paid propaganda B.S.
Now, we have the U.S. led – Iraqi paid propaganda – VIA THE PENTAGON.
So, we have the U.S. funneling the money to pay for it’s propaganda through the Pentagon. And, what’s my point you ask? Simple. Jeff Gannon/Guckert.
Now you ask, WHAT THE HELL DOES GANNON/GUCKERT HAVE TO DO WITH PAID PROPAGANDA?
Remember, everyone wondered what the hell was Gannon/Guckert’s source of income?
He was working(?) for Talon News / GOPUSA, which had virtually no financial backing other than it’s owner, Eberle.
This takes us to the following dailykos article:

J.D. Guckert/Jeff Gannon: These Are Your Lives!

If you page down to a grey box in the article, a fraternity brother was interviewed and states:
He also said that he would need security clearances for the DC job. The only job he ever mentioned to any of us was as a "contract negotiator" with a defense subcontractor. He never said what the name of that company was, although at this point I don’t even believe that it was true.
So, Gannon/Guckert told this fraternity brother that he:
1) needed a security clearance for a contract job with the federal government; and,
2) that it was a defense sub-contractor.
Of course, defense contractors are typically paid by — THE PENTAGON.
And, Gannon/Guckerts’ job was "reporting" propaganda from the WHite House!
WAS GANNON/GUCKERT ANOTHER ARM OF THE DEFENSE DEPARTMENTS’ PROPAGANDA WAR??????????????????????????
Two-faced is the term that comes to my mind when I hear any of their non-factual, uneducated, stupid ramblings and personal-paid-for opinions. Then I turn the channel.
Ann and Bill-the-barf will look so sweet and clueless together for all their 10 or 20 fans. Fox is leaning so damn far right, I don’t see how they’re still standing. When is someone going to start taking some polls about how we feel about the mainstream press? I haven’t seen any anyways. They are a joke with a capital JJJJJJJJ. Especially Fox. They no longer get any air time in my household.
We should give thanks to people like Brad, who fortunately have the avenue to be heard, as well as the connections to the real news. Brad works hours on hours on hours for us. We should all support Brad and send in a few bucks to keep him going. Just a few from a ton of us would really add up and make a difference!!
Lastly, why the HELL does Ann get any air time anyways??? Irritating, annoying and pretty clueless. Okay, I feel better, lol, jmho.
Info on the Gorsch /Gannon thing here.
http://www.democrats.com/node/4817
I was ready to get all hot and bothered and tell people to fire off complaints to Coulter’s host ISP, but I don’t see anything on her site that even comes close to abuse. I do see the professional contact info supplied by Lydia. I do not see any personal info whatsoever.
Perhaps Coulter removed the offending info in response to TOS/AUP complaints. If so, great. Perhaps someone misinterpretted the professional contact info supplied as personal. Whatever, it does no good to complain to her host at this point.
If and when she does cross the AUP/TOS line, complaints can be sent to her host at:
abuse@pair.com
You can find their acceptable us policy listed in the hosting contract, available at their webise http://www.pair.com.
Ann’s just jealous cuz Cornell is way hotter than her.
Peter, the problem is Lydia "accidentally" gave Coulter her personal number in lieu of her office number. (Hence lack of professionalism to begin with)
How was Coulter supposed to know this information was personal? It’s Lydia’s fault for including it in the first place.
Ann’s way prettier than Cornell, I’m sorry. More intelligent as well.
Ann’s not jealous, she didn’t even know of Lydia Cornell until Lydia pulled out her can opener to expose a bunch of non existant worms.
LOL, funny this post talks about a gay hooker with a gay.com ad posted just to the left of it.
I think I’ll write gay.com and let them know this (as their site provides links to many "escorts").
This entire blog, Lydia included….is UNPROFESSIONAL….bad for business…bad for business.
LOL
I doubt Jeff Gannon and Johnny Gorsch are one and the same, although they might be.
However, I do suspect that Jeff Gannon is the long lost, black-sheep son of E. Howard Hunt. Further, that Ann Coulter is Hunt’s daughter by a heretofore unacknowledged liaison with Margaret Thatcher, who had not yet entered menopause but almost had.
PeterPrinciple – Nope, the personal information is still up there. And none of it was an "accident". If so, Lydia followed up to ask her to remove the information, and Coulter has still refused to do so. Three days now running.
Brad you need to become more well informed.
See Lydias blog, she says herself that she accidentally gave her home number.
See "The Coulter Mess" another amazing writing by the impeccable Lydia Cornell.
Furthermore, if Lydia had been more honest in her email to Coulter, instead of baking her a cake and delivering her an unfair bomb and comparing her to Stalin…the utter height of Slander…., she got exactly what she deserved.
I suppose Coulter could have written about Cornell as a rebuttal but again, it would have been attacked as hate speech inasmuch as nobody would care because nobody (other than political types) knows who she is. Ann wouldn’t have much to write about.
Hey people! Wake up!!!!
The STORY here isn’t about whether AC accidentally or deliberately posted someone’s personal phone number on her website.
The STORY is that Jeff Gannon is making crap up agasin and publicly claiming that all sorts of his personal info was posted by liberal bloggers, and so when AC does this then it’s fair turnabout.
Don’t you GET it? Jeez…
"she says herself that she accidentally gave her home number."
But Coulter PURPOSEFULLY posted her personal email, phone number and professional contact info. Why is any of that necessary to post?
The fact that you think, LAC, that Coulter is even remotely attractive makes me question your manhood. I already question hers.
This is like something out of a really bad 1980’s Hollywood movie about high schoolers.
Somebody, please locate and publish Ms. Coulter’s HOME address and phone number and then we can call it even.
Isn’t "Jeff Gannon" like the evil cheerleader’s little bitchy gay friend who will do ANYTHING to stay in the good graces of the cool kids clique?
I’m an American currently living in New Zealand. I came across this story thru the ‘Raw Story’ website.
This is the sort of stuff that is embarassing to have to explain to my Kiwi friends.
Please, all of you, grow up. People are being blown to bits in Iraq, young American soldiers are being forever scarred by this experience. "Jeff Gannon", fake porn soldier, really is not worth all this. I dare say, if Ms Coulter is so gung ho on this war, why isn’t she over there fighting. She appears to be young enough to join up and fight. The same goes for "Mr. Gannon".
"Iraq war = Gas station heist by trust fund Thug"
I think Gannon is Goeshe, and keep hoping he is going to expose the whole sorry lot of ’em. I’m surprised he hasn’t commited suicide. I don’t say that lightly, It’s a sad commentary on our govt. that if anyone is a threat or just wonderful democratic leader they have a very big chance of being killed by lone gunmen or going down in a small plane. How many republicans can we say they about? Raegan was shot at but the only person who stood to gain anything by that was Bush Sr.
JN #21 … amen, brotha. if only half the energy expended on this topic were brought to bear on the looming wholesale takeover of our elections by private corporations, we might actually get something done in this country.
btw, please, no one post Ann Coutler’s personal info. it’s just plain wrong, so don’t do it.
Why would anyone take Ann Coulter seriously? For such a pretty girl she has unusually low self esteem.
Clearly, Daddy didn’t provide Little Ann with enough attention, so today, she goes about saying innapproprite things to get the boys attention. (let’s face it, politics and law, as much progress that has been made by women, is still a game dominated by men) If it were not for politics, Little Ann would probably be running around, lifting her skirt and saying naughty things to frightened little boys in order to get the attention she so craves.
Cat Fight !
mAnn Coulter has such a horse face ! ( picture )
Anyways ! nothing is too low for a she’man who
is not nearly half as intelligent or pretty as lydia !
It can’t be legal to do what mAnn Coulter has done !
Someone needs to seriously kick the skank’s ugly azz !
We never did have an investigation about How and Why ? Jeff Gannon / Johnny Gosch stay over at the W.H over two hundread nights ?!
Who was military stud servicing ? Dubya , Turdblossom ? Scott Mcmellan ? Ken Mehlman ?
I’m sure most closet flaming Republicans are good clients of the Gay Republican Prostitute –
It could not be better, a white house news whore linking up with another neoCon jerk.
They will do wonderful damage to the parties who do business with them.
That is good for us.
The only thing better that could happen is if they are both put on Diebold’s Board of Directors.
1. Jim Guckert is not Johnny Gosch.
2. In my experience, only fruitcakes and fanatics feel that they have the right to publish private email without first asking permission.
3. Gannon/Guckert is just telling another one of his many fibs when he claims that this blog, or any other, published his phone number. I would have acquired that info myself it were published.
I think we need to have a fund to hire PI’s to really investigate the Right-wingnuts. Many in the RNC are closeted Gay men or sexually repressed alleged heterosexuals. These self hating closet queens and people afraid of their sexuality need to be outed along with any other political foes who claim to travel on the moral high ground. Let’s just see if these people who claim to have "christian morals" are true to their public statements. I think it is only fair that a public figure be held to his or her word. They are the political celebrities and the paparazzi should follow them with the same intensity that they do Britney and Brangelina!
But check out his abs! Ol’ W must love licking the sweat off of those…
For JN: I’d agree with you except for one thing. Jeff Gannon had information about Valerie Plame’s identity at the time Robert Novak published it. If not for that fact, he’d be just another example of a prostituted reporter (in more ways than one) doing the White House’s bidding. The fact that someone gave this information to him (so top-secret that Robert Woodward kept quiet about it for two years!) can only mean that person, whoever it was, had untoward motives.
In other words, it’s not about Gannon, it’s about whoever tipped him off about Valerie Plame. The fact that Gannon, a reporter without credentials, was allowed to roam the White House at will in violation of Secret Service guidelines, coming and going without the proper pass, strongly suggests that people inside the White House are responsible for his having privileged information about a C.I.A. operative.
Any brouhaha regarding his private information vs. Ann Coulter’s is relatively trivial, I agree.
Just watched the video clip of mAnn Coulter on O’dldo Rilley !
The horse face claims Liberals want to rape her LOL ~
I have never ever heard that in person or online !
but mAnn Coulter many rational Americans do want you to admit you are a man !
Even Republicans & Real Conservatives think you are a she’man !
As for Jeff Gannon / Johnny Gosch ~ Ken Star never did investigate why the Gay Prostitute slept over at the W.H over Two Hundread times ?!
There are many flamers in the W.H Turdblossom , Scooter ( read his novels ) Scott Mcmellan ! and Definitely Ken Mehlman !
Jeff Gannon must stay booked !

The media have avoided "Gannongate" as if it were the black plague, I think because they think it’s about gay sex. It’s really about security violations and manipulation of news.
We assume Gannon was allowed to roam the White House at will because he was "romantically involved" with someone on the inside. Possibly, but by focusing on that aspect we convert an important issue into a National Enquirer-type story. Even if gay sex were the reason Gannon had access, by speculating on whom he was bopping we lose the forest for the trees.
Gannon didn’t have the permanent pass that most journalists have. He was using an alias. He roamed the White House virtually at will, in violation of Secret Service regulations, and even though he wasn’t a real journalist he was invited to White House functions along with the Washington hoi polloi. At some point he was told that Valerie Plame was a C.I.A. employee…this was privileged information to which he would not have been entitled, even if he had been a real reporter. So we have a violation of White House security rules and the further betrayal of a C.I.A. operative.
The gay issue has kept this from becoming a story, by itself becoming the story on the blogs. Revulsion against the press for having made Monicagate into a constitutional crisis has resulted in their no longer being willing to touch anything that smacks of sex, even when the sex is a red herring in the story.
Please try to revive this story. I think it’s absurd that Clinton was impeached for a private heterosexual affair but this breach of national security never even gets investigated.
