The Guckert/Gannon story continues to unravel. I'm sounding like a broken record, but I can't help being taken with this fascinating example of the extremes the Bushies will go to in hopes of manipulating the news. Frank Rich and Maureen Dowd weigh in today with typically well-written columns - Dowd's difficulty getting a White House press pass is essential reading to understand the special treatment Guckert received. But the bloggers are the real news hounds in this hunt. DailyKos has put together decent timeline answers, Media Matters has termed it "Gannongate" (knew that one was coming), and everyone with a computer seems to be commenting on the hilarious Daily Show segment on the story last night. You can watch it here - be forewarned that it's a sizable chunk to download.
Bush is getting ready to announce his pick for National Intelligence Director. If it's John Negroponte - currently our Ambassador to Iraq - I hope someone does a bit more on his background during the Reagan Administration and his part in channeling covert support to the Contras. Scary dude. Not the sort of person to have his fingers in everybody's bizness.
