You'll never guess what irony we found while viewing a video of a bunch of U.S. stenographers masturbating about how good they are and how biased bloggers tend to be...
Ta da....
Allow me to parse the image for you. The left bigger image is from today's video of a National Press Club jerk-off with Tony Snow. The other smaller pic is the infamous White House prostitute / soft...um...baller, Jeff Gannon / Guckert.
Is it the same person? You be the judge.
The irony is that they were discussing how fantastic the American press tends to be and how bloggers tend to take things completely out of context for political gain.
Here's an excerpt:
...A lot of the blogs are unduly devoted to media criticism, which is itself fairly interesting given all the things you've commented on...and in my humble view, I think the press here does a fantastic job in general. And the interesting thing at looking at the political coverage -- as people try to guess -- is that they want us to play a role that isn't our role. Our role is to ask questions and to get information.
Too fucking funny!
Here's a blog entry from Mr. Gannon who was at a recent PBS event. The post at his website. (NOTE: as sgary points out, this entry was not, in fact, from the event above -- as was believed earlier.)
The best part of the evening for me came after the event concluded and I was in a one-on-one conversation with Downie. I was telling him how much I've enjoyed appearing on the pages of the Washington Post over the years when David Fanning, the producer of NEWS WAR bounds over to breathlessly tell Downie:
"Do you know who that was that asked the question about bias? Jeff Gannon!"
Then Fanning turned to me and I said:
"I'm Jeff Gannon and isn't this an awkward moment for you?"
Fanning was speechless.
Gutterboy gives us another priceless excerpt from the Press Club's itinerary:
