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.
Here’s Signorile’s take:
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
While Gannon, who is pushing the same right-wing talking points against McClellan as the rest of the conservatives, said that his supposed closeness to McClellan was purely from working in the White House, and that he did not know him previously, he did not deny the rumors long on the web that McClellan is gay — said he didn’t know.
I found this odd, considering that Gannon has been outraged in the past at even the speculation about his own past, calling it horrible prying
…
Perhaps this backs up the observations of some that the Bush supporters are now going to get back at Scotty — and try to smear him further — by floating information about his supposed “closet,” as Gretchen Carlson of Foxy and Friends threatened.
While the right could definitely be trying to throw lavender light on McClellan, they’re going to have to come up with some evidence if they want to prove their point, whatever that may be.

Self-hating hangers-on like this Gannon piece of shit should not even be given the opportunity to express a comment on anything. His whole public persona is a lie, why should we believe anything that he says, or doesn’t say?

I agree with FoofyJim

Is ‘outing’ McClellan all they can come up with to smear this guy? Like being gay is the worst thing EVER? Does anyone really need to know anymore about why Republicans are our enemy? Please.

And outing McClellan is going to prove or disprove…what?

Poor cute Scotty. He should talk to David Brock at Media Matters about how conservatives love the gays until they don’t need them anymore. Then out come the long knives.

Who gives a shit if Scotty is gay or not? Repeat after me: It’s not my business.

I saw his interview on MSNBC with Obermann and well, he looks ALOT better/thinner and rested…seems he musthave been REALLY stressed wrking for the Bush Mis-Administration…the pic with this article makes him look tired and older then he is..and then he looks now…
wow...this is news?
okay so some people think that McC is gay and that outing him is bad. Do you think someone of McC’s stature and those around him did not think of the consequences of the smearing that would go on if he were gay based on his book’s revelations?
Of course, he knew… and if he’s gay, he knew exactly what would come out of the smear campaign so he probably doesn’t care…like most of us..who cares!
