  that he's wearing a lanyard. Isn't that a fashion don't for the press briefing room?

  - lanyard (none / 1)
    
    I think he is. It's white, and blends into the light blue shirt.
    I'd rather that he was (aside from the basic security concerns). If he was issued a pass, a record must exist somewhere of it being issued. Not that we'd ever get a White House record of anything.

    check this tape to see if they are visible around the necks of the reporters? "Gannons" was clearly visible this year when he asked GWB a question.

    - Check March 5 briefing (4.00 / 2)
      
      Right at the beginning as the camera zooms in you can see the back of a bald guy's head, on the left in a dark suit. Looks like him from the rear though.
      Heh.
      I haven't watched the whole thing to see if he asks a question.
      BTW, you can also see the back of his head (again on the left) as the camera zooms in at the beginning of the 2/28 briefing.
      This might be a good way to quickly check the CSPAN tapes to see which ones should be watched in their entirety.

        I found a March 4 Question (4.00 / 3)
        
        by someone who sounds like Gannon, and exactly like a usual Gannon Question. No shot of reporters.
        It's at this Ari March 4th, 2003at 24:39 mark.
        Transcript read this: Notice the question thrown out after the Gannon question.
        
        Q (voice of Jeff Gannon on video) This is about Iraq. On Saturday, I interviewed Aziz al-Taee, Chairman of the Iraqi-American Council. He detailed a compelling body of evidence about the holocaust being waged against the Iraqi people. Why hasn't the administration focused on this aspect of Saddam's regime to justify intervention without U.N. approval? After all, it was the Clinton administration that used ethnic cleansing as a pretext to bomb and send troops into Kosovo.
        MR. FLEISCHER: Well, the administration has frequently pointed that out. And Secretary Powell, in his presentation up in New York, described at some length the crimes committed by Saddam Hussein against his own people. And this is something the President remarks about from time to time. What about the cries on the basis of human rights for the people of Iraq who are suffering under the hand of Saddam Hussein? That is an important issue for the world to face, as well, as the consequences of allowing Saddam to have weapons of mass destruction.
        Q Ari --
        Q What about going in order?

        Any idea who asked that? it may be someone who got disgruntled very early on that Gannon got special privileges.
        Further, it points out how quickly it was apparent that Gannon WAS getting special privileges.

        March 3, 2003 briefing
        It's right at the 35.10 mark. Watch the Zoom in with the camera when going for the girl. He's in a dark suit in the rows behind him. It zoom in on the photo ID in the end. He didn't ask any questions so there was no true verification. But I'm pretty damn sure it's him.

        I think you did a great job - looks like a photo-embossed hard pass to me.
        Maybe you should write a new diary summarizing Gannon's early access to the Press Room, with these photos - I'm afraid it's probably lost down here. That way, the media who comes by Kos today will see it.

        That surname looks like it's got some tall letters in it, which would suggest the pass is in the name Guckert, not Gannon. But I could just be talking out of my arse, giving the resolution.

        This confirms Dana Milbank's account (4.00 / 2)
        
        "You've stated that you think you've seen Gannon with a "hard press" pass. What is the visual difference between a hard pass and a daily pass?
        A hard pass has your photo and news org and name on it. A daily pass is just a brown and white striped pass that says, "Press," on it and comes on a dog-tag style chain. Note that the one Gannon wears in the footage on TV is a blue lanyard - not the sort of thing a day pass comes on."
        From SusanG's interview posted today with Dana Millbank. (The interview took place before the revelations of JG's escort service were up on AMERICAblog.) What "news org" would have been on that pass on Feb. 28, 2003?

        This information deserves a thread all its own! (none / 0)
        
        DU has a thread on this very thing. The person who started it has a series of screen captures where Guckert is identified in a wide shot and then a closer view of him behind a woman shows this hard pass.
        He added these two photos on his original post and then started a new thread with teh photographs.
        This is the BIG STORY today with Guckert because this photographic evidence proves that Scottie McClellan is a liar.

- Listening to this... (none / 1)
  
  or to any other older clips of him that might come up, is it possible to hear if they (Ari in this case) call on him by name already back then?
  Plus, even if he had just gotten in, how did he start to get called on so regularly, so quickly?
  Another thing to listen for is if he ever qualifies himself as "Jeff Gannon of ..." at any time.
  And yep, no lanyard... so no pass?

    A search of the White House archives finds the first appearance of the word "Jeff" in a WH Press Briefing transcript on May 29, 2003. There's one other "Jeff" in a gaggle from Scotty in Crawford back in August 2002, but it's highly doubtful that's the same guy.

    - Speaking of Crawford -- (none / 1)
      
      has anybody confirmed that GWB/Laura really have a neighbor/friend in TX that GWB referred to as the "Gannons" during a photo-op from the McRanch?
      If so, does that Mr. Gannon appear on AFOne, in the WH or at Camp David?

        that was a Gannon who is the CEO of a grocery chain. I am no longer shopping at Shaw's.

        but would be interesting to see if he shows up in any of the WH logs.

        Better make that Albertson's (none / 0)
        
        But how would GWB/Laura be friends with this Paul Gannon? He appears not to have lived outside of NE, attended Boston Latin '70 (Richard Clarke is shown as '68 and he's only around 50 yrs old); so, he is much younger than Bush. And the grocery business is not exactly the industry that has personal ties to GWB.
        In that photo-op GWB definitely made it sound as if "the Gannons" were either long standing friends of theirs or neighbors. Paul Gannon former COO of Shaw's doesn't fit.

        thanks. Couldn't think of the name of the chain.
        This turns up in our first thread, as I recall, and there is some checking on it. I'll go back through my notes -- again.

        grocery Gannons (none / 0)
        
        Marie,
        This was my comment on 2/2 about the Gannons visiting with the interestingly-named "Prairie Chapel Ranch." I was working off this post by creve coeur.
        But I like him better as this Paul Gannon (had missed this post earlier), especially given the St. Louis connection. I am convinced that the Swift Boat people are in this somehow.
        I don't have time just now to do any more on this, so if someone wants to run with it, go ahead.

        Anybody else have any ideas about GWB/Laura's good friends the Gannons?

    - It would be amazing if it were him (4.00 / 2)
      
      Here's the question:
      
      Jeff.
      Q Scott, who is paying for all the travel of these individuals? Presumably, the CEOs and what not will be flying in on their own, but who is paying for the travel of these average working Americans?
      MR. McCLELLAN: I think -- actually, let me double check that. I think that I've heard reports that some -- we tried to cover the cost for some, but others paid their own way. Let me try to find out more information on that. I'll be around all day.
      Q Is there an example -- or an estimate of overall price for this whole forum?
      MR. McCLELLAN: I don't have it. I'll look into it, but I don't have it.
      This was during that ridiculous economic stimulus conference BushCo held at Crawford. The question seems too serious for JeffJim. But then there's the "I'll be around all day."

    - The White House Archives leave out names ... (none / 1)
      
      ...sometimes. Especially lately, if Scott said something like "Go ahead Jeff" the record would just say "Go ahead" or perhaps "Next question."
      It's important to realize that the White House "transcripts" are not verbatim.

    - Variant spellings (none / 0)
      
      Someone saw a spelling as "Geoff" in a transcript of a known "Gannon" press briefing, so you might search variant spellings/mispellings of "Jeff."

    The consensus was that this guy's lips are larger and his nose is different. (BTW, someone who watched the video said the guy seemed disgusted.) The thread turned into a gallery of photos of Bush rubbing the heads of bald men at press briefings, parties, visits to soldiers...

    - A Hug and A Kiss (none / 1)
      
      What will break this wide open is a picture/video of GWB hugging and smooching our friend Gannon. The piece we are looking for is a combination of Clinton's hug of Monica caught on video (was that after a SOTU?) and W's smooch of Lieberman... First one to find it gets a shiny nickle to add to your private SS account.

    I would guess that is Scott Reid (I think that is the last name) who works in teh Canadian government. There was a Globe and Mail article about how Bush had commented that he had a pretty face and was better looking than his Scott. I am pretty sure they mentioned that Bush rubbed the Canadian Scott's head.
