Hustler-turned-journo Jeff Gannon has found himself a new gig: event coordinator for the International Bible Reading Association's National Day of Prayer! Washington Post's Dana Milbank explains:

Gannon, actually a pseudonym for James Guckert, had earned fame in 2005 representing a conservative Web site at White House briefings until it was revealed that he posted nude pictures of himself on the Web to offer his services as a $200-an-hour gay escort.

Let us pray for the power to understand how Gannon made his way from HotMilitaryStud.com to the International Bible Reading Association.

Maybe the House of Representatives' pastor, Rev. Daniel P. Coughlin - who used your tax dollars to promote the James Dobson-endorsed event - took pity on his sinful soul.

People are still all sorts of pissed about Ann Coulter's faggot flinging, making the biggest stink since that Tim Hardaway thing. But gay Republican Jeff Gannon seems to think liberals deserve a little criticism, too:

"Faggot" is one of the nicest things the hateful Lefties have called me. There is no more vicious hate speech than that of the gay Left. I’m sure this column will prompt another wave of it.
...
If anything, faggots should be offended by being mentioned in the same sentence as the sleazy trial lawyer.

(PS: We can't wait to see what he has to say about Matt Sanchez.)

For more Jeff Gannon fun, check out Jack E. Jett's gay grilling.

We were absolutely astonished to receive an email from Jack E. Jett last night. As you know, we had a little fun with his Mike Jones interview, so we really didn't expect to be hearing from our favorite homo-journo television performer.

We hesitated before opening it, fearing some nasty tirade. Then we remembered that Jett's a totally sweatheart - a fact made all the more evident by his offering of an interview with Jeff Gannon.

We've had such a scandalous year, it's easy to forget Gannon's contribution to the annals of queer history: Gannon infiltrated the White House, questioned the President's conservative values, only to be revealved as an imposter and rentboy. While he no longer gets invited to the White House, Gannon's spirit lives thrives on his conservative blog.

After the jump, the boys discuss everything from politics to Anderson Cooper to Gannon's drink of choice. Seriously, it's packed to the brim. (Oh, it's worth noting that we've only edited two things: we uncensored the word "ass" and inserted the hypothetical "were". Way cutting edge.)

Thanks, Jack. We heart you like whoa.

Serial plagiarist/former hooker/Republican buttboy Jeff Gannon/James Guckert may be doing a panel all by himself in Philadelphia after Queerty friends John Aravosis and Pam Spaulding pulled out at the last minute due to a disagreement with the moderator. John and Pam wanted to discuss Gannon's sketchy past and the plagiarism scandal during his tenure as a "reporter" for Conservative rag Talon News. The moderator refused to make it an official topic, lending credibility to Jeff Gannon's new self-appointed position as conservative LGBT blogger/"journalist" (we will not link to his blog, but you can find it on Google).

Having already purchased her plane ticket, Pam plans to go to Philly and do something more fun. We applaud John and Pam's decision not to sit at a table with a notorious fraud and perpetuate the notion that his opinion matters.

We conclude our wrap-up of the year that was just So Gay! We’ve reveled in the queerest coming out stories, blogs, music, and everything else that made 2005 a big fat homo. Now it’s time for the crowning of the ultimate queen: the Gayest Gay of the year!

5. Marc Cherry. The man responsible for giving birth to those fabulous bitches Bree, Lynette, Gabrielle, Edie, and Susan. This year, thanks to Cherry, we were given regular weekly doses of Desperate Housewives, one of the campiest shows since that other Marcia Cross series, Melrose Place. We love him for his both his bitchiness and queeniness.

4. Jeff Gannon. A whore who slept with closet case politicians and then magically landed himself in the White House Press room. If you ask us, that’s pretty gay.

3. Ellen DeGeneres. Ellen’s career just keeps getting bigger and bigger. She’s found her biggest mainstream success by putting on her dancing shoes for her daytime talk show. Also, Her relationship with fellow small screen lezzie Portia De Rossi has kept her never dull love life in the public eye.

2. Ang Lee. Yes we know he’s straight. Still we had no choice but to include the man who directed Brokeback Mountain, the gay movie of the decade. Besides, you can’t get any gayer than directing love scenes between two hot sweaty twenty-something studs. Unless of course it’s a Jet Set video.

The biggest gay of the year after the jump!
