Sept: Jeff Gannon sez tell-all book to come out!

Mon Aug 13, 2007 at 10:37:18 AM PDT

Take a break from Karl Rove for just a minute.

Of course, we know that everything is militarized in BushGooperWorld Except for GOP leaders' offspring, of course. Why, just a few days ago,  presidential hopeful Mitt Romney equated his sons' van junket through the no-man's land of Iowa with GI service in war-torn Iraq. And any person, place or thing not wholly owned by the GOP is an enemy target.

But really now. There's a limit. Self-styled former Marine (his actual enlistment never substantiated) James Guckert aka "Jeff Gannon," still carrying on his lonely Army of One battle against the Liberal Media, now refers to his stint in the White House press corps in 2004-2005 as working "behind enemy lines"!

Imagine, the "Talon News" softball questioner whom nobody granted the special daily press pass he used for over a year was fighting behind enemy lines while enjoying unprecedented, unvetted access to the  Bush White House under an assumed name! No place is safe any more.

Says the doughty crusading journalist and former male escort of www.hotmilitarystuds.com:

BOOK PLUG: I worked "behind enemy lines" in the liberal White House press corps for two years. In my book due out in September I "name names" of the political operatives among my former colleagues who pose as objective journalists.

(uh, speaking of posing....)

So Mr. Gannon, who's publishing this upcoming book of yours in which you "name names"? Nothing comes up under your name[s] in my searches on Google or amazon.com. Please let us know your publisher and whether your book-signing tour will come to any of our hometown Barnes & Nobles.
