Well good old Guckert doesn't have any wife or kids. Maybe the 'family' he referred to being threatened was because he lives with his parents. Possible?

Guckert, who said he was 47 years old, had never been married, and has no children, revealed that he'd used the Gannon name since 2001 and vowed to keep using it. "Absolutely; it is my professional name," he said. "I would be throwing away all of the things I built up over the past few years if I stopped using it."
more lies after the flop...
JD plays the "family" card...

"I was projecting out into the future at that time that I was going to be a journalist," he said. "I wanted to have a better name that is not difficult to spell or pronounce. For a little while, it protected my family from people who disagreed with me going after my family, but that was just a side consideration. I really wanted an easier name because people have gotten it wrong all of my life."
What a great journalism future for "theconservativeguy". Why not go with the fake name Mr. Conny Guy. Why not just change your name if you hate Guckert?
it was only after members of my family contacted me about being harassed that I decided to leave.
My mother and my brother and his wife in Pennsylvania were being harassed with phone calls and threats.
Guckert said that contrary to many press reports, he was never subpoenaed by the special prosecutor and has never testified before a grand jury in the case. But he said he was interviewed by two FBI agents in his home for about 90 minutes last year.
Guckert said he had recently contacted legal representation "for quite a few things," referring to the Plame case and the controversy over his White House access, but he would not elaborate. "I have always had an attorney on retainer, and now I believe I will have to put him to work," he said.
A laywer friend of Rove, no doubt.. Maybe a fellow TKE (Bush and Reagan are fellow fraters)
"I only met Karl Rove once, at the media Christmas party at the White House in 2003. I was waiting in line for my 'grip and grin' [photo] with the president and he passed by. I introduced myself to him, he said hello, and he moved on."
"Grip and grin" just sounds homosexual coming from Guckert...
Another priceless quote:
"If I am a Republican shill," he said, "wouldn't you think I am the least amount of a threat to the president?"
