Gannon Update

Of course, nobody's coming here to find about about the Manchurian Beefcake, as James Wolcott has taken to call him. But I think this is very interesting. Gannon was definitely getting slipped inside info, as a reward for asking softball questions in these press conferences, presumably. AmericaBlog is reporting that Gannon knew about the "shock and awe" attack on Baghdad four hours before it happened.

Plus, he seemed to know about Mary Mapes very early into the game:

Hannity just said a story will be filed later today that from sources inside CBS that the source of the documents is also the one who provided the Abu Grihab prison photos.

It may just be SOP for this White House to reward their conservative bretheren in the media, or it may be something more sinister. It does seem to demand more investigation, though.

(There, i got through a Jeff Gannon story without saying "gay hooker"!)

(Damn!)
