The Raw Story | A rational voice � Democratic leadership joins call for Gannon inquiry; Whip calls on members to join push: Senate Democratic leadership joins push for Gannon inquiry – By John Byrne | RAW STORY Editor
The Senate Democratic leadership is privately circulating a letter calling for other senators to join a call for an investigation into discredited White House reporter Jeff Gannon, RAW STORY has learned.
The letter, issued from Minority Whip Richard Durbin (D-IL), calls on President Bush to order a full inquiry into how a fake journalist working for a sham news organization got access to the president.
The issue the New Yorker called “nothing-gate” now has the attention of Senate Leadership. Yee-haw! Will this be the beginning on the Nixon-like fall of Bush II? Again, it’s about the access gained by a fake reporter with a fake name from a fake news organization. The gay porn / prostitute angle is just the salacious icing that made the story sexy enough to catch the public’s attention. And to see the crew that campaigned on gay-baiting brought down by a gay prostitute in their midst would be an irony of O Henry-esque proportions.
