"Jeff Gannon"—it's all good!
WaPo:
"Gannon" is gay. So? "Gannon" is an escort. So?
I cared because I thought the wingers cared. I mean, gays are second class citizens, right? And if you think about it, escorts aren't exactly reinforcing the sanctimony of marriage, are they?
But apparently, it's good to be gay.
It's good to be a gay escort.
It's plusgood to be a gay escort, funded by the Republicans, posing as a journalist.
And it's doubleplusgood to be a gay escort, funded by the Republicans, posing as a journalist who gets to ask Bush questions at His very infrequent news conferences!
It's all good! So, can gays marry now?
Move along people, move along! There's no story here!
Incidentally, one very good way for "Gannon" to show he knows he's been forgiven would be to demonstrate repentance. Somehow, I don't think going on a PR offensive is the way to do that, but what do I know?
Despite the battering he has taken, Gannon [sic] hasn't abandoned plans to work in journalism and hopes to generate sympathy by speaking out.
"People criticize me for being a Christian and having some of these questionable things in my past," he said. "I believe in a God of forgiveness."
