We welcomed David Brock into the fold when he saw the error of his ways, why not Gannonguckert? So sayeth Steve Clemons, and it's an interesting idea:
Kurtz is wrong, by the way, that Gannon's nude pictures are what is keeping this story going. What is important is the revelation that the "leaker" in the White House pushed the Valerie Plame story on Gannon.
As an example, David Brock used to work for the more thuggish wing of the Republican right, and came around of his own accord. He now runs "Media Matters" and seems to be doing a great job.
Perhaps those who want to get to the bottom of the Plame scandal should try and turn Gannon. If he said what he knew, he'd become a star -- on every talk show and reality sitcom -- and probably make a fortune. That may be incentive enough.
Maybe rather than villifying this guy, we who want to know who undermined American national security and divulged the CIA identity of Joe Wilson's wife should help him repent and reform and help him get on a better path.
So, Mr. Guckert, if you're reading this, think about it. Imagine...you could do something truly patriotic and reveal who it was that committed the crime of revealing the identity of a CIA NOC and become a hero instead of a goat. AND, you could come out and stop "trying to pass". We don't give a shit about your personal life or your sexual proclivities. The only reason John Aravosis has made it an issue is because you look like the worst kind of hypocrite. And if you think your friends the Republicans are on your side, fugeddaboudit. The Republicans to whom you've hitched your wagon will jettison you before you can say "Bulldog". Believe me. You've embarrassed them, and they want no more part of you. You've outlived your usefulness. So why not try being real for a change? You might like it. Ask David Brock. I'm still mad at him for the amount of damage he did, but I'll at least give him credit for trying.
