>>>Who exactly first cleared Guckert.<<<

Good question. And who introduced him?

>>>What background checks did they do on Guckert.<<<

Good question. And who introduced him?

>>>What background checks were done on the Talon news outfit which Guckert worked for[?]<<<

Good question. And who was familiar or tied into the Talon news connection?

>>>Why was a guy with no news background who was working for a very small time news website which has direct links to staunchly republican organizations allowed into press briefings and even a presidential press conference[?]<<<

Good question. Would they let the Buzzflash.com folks into such press briefings? Are Mother Jones reporters allowed in? And here's a really good one: Does Drudge himself ever get in?

>>>Were there other more qualified journalists who were turned down for a daily press pass while Guckert was getting one every day.<<<

Good question. But, hey, why let objectivity get in the way of a fine scheme of manipulation.

>>>Are either of George Bush, Karl Rove or Scott McClellan gay and were any of them blackmailed or coerced in any way to get the press pass for Guckert? This goes for all involved.<<<

I'm not sure that's a good question. But, hey, why not ask it? I'm sure the matter is simple. Bush is a terrible speaker, a scripted speaker and never saw a teleprompter he didn't like. There are no teleprompters at presidential news conferences. He needed a bucket like Guckert to empty into when confused or hard-pressed on points he couldn't handle. I'm waiting to see the review of the what the questions were just ahead of the ones Guckert asked.

And there's one more question you left out. Is Guckert's behavior in any way similar to how good Republicans should behave? Geez, no wonder we never hear from the Ripon Society anymore. Does anyone even know anymore who or what the Ripon Society once was or is today in rather limited form?
