Thick as Sludge

There is no doubt in my mind that the story of Jeff Gannon could not have been invented even by our most intrepid writer. Now this tidbit has come to light from Kos:

White House-credentialed fake news reporter "Jeff Gannon" from fake news agency "Talon News" was cited by the Washington Post as having the only access to an internal CIA memo that named Joseph Wilson's wife, Valerie Plame, as a covert CIA agent. Gannon, in a question posed to Wilson in an October 2003 interview, referred to the memo (to which no other news outlet had access, according to the Post). Gannon subsequently has been subpoenaed by the federal grand jury looking into the Plame outing.

So, this guy who turns out to be an idiot, who can't keep a job, who owns a gun but lives on Capitol Hill (illegal), who got a daily pass to Scotty's press conference and could always be counted on to ask the softball question, who did ask the softball question to Bush recently, is now implicated in a serious breach of national security. Jeesh!

The most intersting thing, though, is that Kos has his Kossacks running around like ten thousand Sherlock Holmes getting the skinny on this turd. Wow!
