I can't understand this. White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan said that "Jeff Gannon" was allowed access to the White House Press Briefing room because "he represented a news organization that published regularly."

Here is a picture of "Jeff Gannon" in the White House Press Briefing room a month before his employer, Talon News, ever existed much less published a single story.

Who did James Dale Guckert work for prior to Talon News? So far as we know, he freelanced as a prostitute. But who did he tell the White House he was working for on February 28, 2003, and did "Jeff Gannon" represent "a news organization that published regularly?"

How did a high-priced hooker gain daily access to the White House for over two years under the guise of a "journalist" and then obtain a highly confidential intelligence memo?

"He, like anyone else, showed that he was representing a news organization that published regularly, and so he was cleared two years ago to receive daily passes, just like many others are."
