Gannon-Gate

Wednesday February 16, 2005
"The Daily Show With Jon Stewart" and "Real Time With Bill Maher" cover "Gannon-Gate" — the bizarre scandal surrounding fake White House correspondent Jeff Gannon, who in addition to being a Republican shill and lobbing softball questions at the president, ran Web sites titled Hotmilitarystud.com, Workingboys.net, and Militaryescorts.com.

"Jeff Gannon ... He is a White House correspondent who has been lobbing softball questions at the president and his press secretary, turns out he is actually a paid escort for wealthy homosexuals. ... He actually had two jobs — one obviously was sleazy and shameful and the other was a gay male prostitute. ... I think I know what Bush meant now when he said he has a mandate." —Bill Maher
