Citing the advice of his attorney on February 15, James Dale Guckert told the press he will no longer be speaking to media. His "attorney" must have bailed on him, because Guckert did a slew of interviews yesterday saying the darndest things.

Gannon chastised his critics, breaking a silence that began last week when liberal bloggers disclosed his real name, James Dale Guckert, and a Web page, which he paid for, featuring X-rated photos of himself. "Why would they be looking into a person's sexual history? Is that what we're going to do to reporters now? Is there some kind of litmus test for reporters? Is it right to hold someone's sexuality against them?"

James, or the much easier to pronounce "Jeff," may not realize it, but his "sexual history" was made part of his professional resume and credibility as a journalist by no one but James Dale Guckert himself. Most people choose to keep their personal sex lives to themselves. James Dale Guckert, on the other hand, shared his personal sex life with the public for the right price.

No one but James Dale Guckert published salacious details on the "Internets," complete with pornographic photos he himself had made and placed online as part of the pitch for his services. As Guckert is willing to admit, these are his "mistakes" and no one else's. For Guckert to now claim he's being attacked for being gay or that his privacy is being invaded is irresponsible nonsense.
