Sure he's a hooker with a penis, but he's a hooker with a penis and a heart of gold...
Hindrocket's laughable defense of the real Hind Rocket.
The presence of a Bush-friendly journalist in the White House press corps was taken by the left as a deep affront. A study conducted a few years ago found that the White House press corps is 90% Democratic; apparently the left won’t be satisfied until the figure is 100%. So liberals began “investigating” Gannon. They found that he was a homosexual and started posting photos of him on their web sites, along with vicious personal attacks. Gannon, stunned by the virulence of the left’s attack on him, quit his job at Talon. Subsequently, a low-life named John Aravosis who is a gay activist and has a web site, found nude photos of Gannon and posted them online.
Gay activist John Aravosis = "low-life"
Gay male prostitute and serial liar "Jeff Gannon" = "a poor guy"
Hindrocket writes:
That is really one of the stupidest things I’ve read in a long time. Just try to parse Aravosis’s logic: The issue is Gannon’s White House access. But why is that an issue? There was nothing special about Gannon’s access, he got it the same way as everyone else. His “access” is an issue, according to Aravosis, because “the White House wouldn’t let him in the door right now, knowing of his background.” Huh? That is one of the most stunning non sequiturs ever. First of all, what is the evidence for the proposition that the White House would deny access to a reporter who was once a gay escort? The proposition is absurd on its face; it wasn’t the White House that drove Gannon out of his job, it was Aravosis and his friends. Second, even if that claim were true, so what?? How on earth would the White House’s attitude twoard(sic) gay escorts justify Aravosis in posting nude pictures of Gannon? (my emphasis)
No. I believe Hindrocket's belief that the White House wouldn't bar a gay escort (whose profile is still active, I believe) as a "journalist" (and who the fuck does Hindrocket think he's kidding with that?) is one of the stupidest things that I've ever read. I mean, when we call Howard Fineman, Candy Crowley, Tim Russert, Howard Kurtz, Judith Miller, Brit Hume, Wolf Blitzer, and a cast of thousands "whores" we just kind of kidding. But Gannon was (is) a real-life "leave your money on the bedstand" blowmonkey. And it's not as if Aravosis broke into the Watergate to steal the super-secret gannonporn.jpg files.
Additionally Hindrocket writes:
The bottom line is that there isn’t any story here, other than the bottomless depravity of liberals in America. How any of their purported “grievances” against Gannon justifies posting nude photos of him is inexplicable.
You know, it's getting downright impossible to tell who or what is is the 'bottom' in all of this, but one thing is for certain; all it takes to dazzle Hinderaker is a guy just trying to put his sordid history (even if it's only a few weeks old) behind him.
That and 8+ inches...uncut.
