"Jeff Gannon's" incredible access salon.com There's evidence he got into White House briefings before he was a "reporter." - - - - - - - - - - - - By Eric Boehlert Feb. 17, 2005 \| James Guckert's mysterious career as a White House correspondent for Talon News just took another strange twist. And once again, the newest revelation raises the central question: Who broke the rules on Guckert's behalf to give him access to the White House? Despite administration claims that Guckert simply followed established protocol in order to routinely slip inside the White House briefing room, it now appears clear that Guckert, who just months before his 2003 debut as a cub reporter was offering himself up online as a $200 an hour male escort, benefited from extraordinary preferential treatment, likely granted by someone inside the White House press office. Maybe its because Gannon had something to 'trade' for the press pass. I wonder who within the WH was needing the services of a male escort? ted
