The smearing of Scott McClellan continues!

Gay escort turned White House lapdog Jeff Gannon caused a sensation yesterday when he wrote that he "knew" McClellan better than anyone on the right wing end.

The comment, of course, had people wondering if Gannon and his party peers were gearing up to paint the former Press Secretary pink.

In an effort to get to the so-called truth, homo-journo Michelangelo Signorile invited Gannon onto his radio show yesterday and, not surprisingly, Gannon did nothing to clear up the queer rumors.

It's official: former White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan's the official Republican whipping boy. With the right wing aligning against him - and their "body snatcher" argument - we suspected that Bush backers would begin to question McClellan's sexuality. And, according to Down With Tyranny's reading, former prostitute turned fake reporter Jeff Gannon's doing the dirty work:

…Today the first shot in that direction from the Bush Regime's in-house male prostitute, [Jeff Gannon]: "What I hear about the book does not sound like the Scott McClellan I knew for two years. I can say without fear of contradiction, that I knew Scott better than any other White House correspondent or Washington reporter."

We're not sure if Gannon's remarks are intended to queer McClellan, but they sure as shit don't help his situation. Well, not on the Republican side.

As for us - we'd love it if McClellan were a big homo. In fact, we'd prefer it!

This must be a proud moment for the Republican party: gay porn starturned GOP demigod Matt Sanchez talking with gay escort turned White House press puppy and author Jeff Gannon about shady Hillary Clinton.

Watch as Gannon wonders about where Hillary Clinton got the $5 million to loan her campaign. Old chrome dome Gannon also asks why the press glossed over Mrs. Clinton's contribution, while everyone picked apart Mitt Romney's $35 million.

Now, we know these guys have trouble with moral relativity, but we never suspected elementary economics would throw them off. Nor have they been looking for the Clinton critiques: at least 3,851 news stories reference Clinton's loan, according to a simple Google search. Meanwhile, some of those articles question where she got the money.

The working girls and boys of this world may all fuck for money, but that doesn't mean they get the same respect - or disrespect.

In a thoughtful and timely post, former AOL blogger Richard Rothstein uses Republican hero Jeff Gannon as a jumping off point to examine the wild world of male prostitution:

The ubiquitous and profoundly influential role of the gay male prostitute in American culture is a subject that deserves much more scrutiny and consideration. It should pose many more questions and generate considerably more discussion in the mainstream media and among pundits. Instead the politics of the gay male prostitute is just there, regularly rearing it's rather prominent head at odd times and in so many diverse way.

I'm fascinated by two questions in particular and the real lack of examination of both. The first, of course, is why the male prostitute plays such a prominent role in our culture and the second is why we don't really examine that role with a serious in-depth discussion.

Rothstein also points a finger at Dancing With The Stars' Albert Reed, who allegedly had a "compromising" encounter with George Clooney.

Warning: Rothstein's post has some NSFW bits, namely: Jeff Gannon's penis.

Former prostitute turned conservative press mole Jeff Gannon's new book doesn't have any steamy stories of late night romps. In fact, Gannon insists rumors of his sexual ways are greatly exaggerated:

Gannon resigned as White House correspondent from the conservative Talon News in 2005 amid charges of right-wing bias, inexperience and salacious accusations about his personal life. In the book, he admits nothing, referring only to his “perceived sexuality” and “photographs said to be me in various states of undress.”

“In actuality,” he writes, “my personal life was dull compared to the fantasy world created by the Angry Gay Left.”

"Perceived sexuality"? What about when Gannon reportedly came out to Michael Rogers:

When questioned if he was gay, Gannon said he "was a member of this community."

Rogers went farther: "Are you a gay man?"

"Absolutely," Gannon said.

Perhaps "perceived" doesn't have a bipartisan definition.

Former "journalist", gay sex worker and recent Tyler Whitney defender Jeff Gannon on his new book, The Great Media War: A Battlefield Report and general infamy:

I’m not going away. I’m here. These people created me, and now they’re going to have to deal with me.

Gannon also describes beloved White House correspondent Helen Thomas thus, "She’s little more than a heckler.”

Well, that's better than a little more than a hooker, huh?

• Final leg of federal investigation into Mark Foley's illicit instant messages is slow going. It turns out neither Mark Foley nor the US House of Representatives will turn over the computers. (The FBI's unconstitutional snafu with Rep. William Jefferson reminded people of a 200-year old precedent. That means Foley can now self-censor "legislative business" from federally requested desktops. Convenient.)

• No illicit info in Foley emails. (An independent House review claims they took a look at Foley's emails through September 29th, the day he resigned. No nudie shots, allegedly.)

Former fake reporter and hustler Jeff Gannon recently took a minute from being a charlatan to defend Tyler Whitney.

Of course you all remember Whitney - the 18-year old homophobe/Republican campaigner who works for Tom Tancredo. Speaking out against schmucks like us, Gannon blasted:

The angry gay left continues to practice the politics of personal destruction. These hatemongers are so threatened by an 18-year-old guy who doesn’t want to live his life on the pink plantation that they have to try to destroy him. Kudos to Tancredo and his staff for standing up for him. Maybe Tancredo isn’t as ‘anti-gay’ as the angry gay left wants its sheeple to believe.

Well, we suppose it's how you define "anti-gay," Gannon.

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.

Something tells us he didn't blow his way into this one.

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.

Hmm, we're not sure which we prefer, actually: being mentioned in the same sentence as a presidential or as a former escort turned fake journalist turned conservative mouthpiece. Quite a toss-up…

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

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!
