In today's Salon ,
JOE CONASON goes at Gannongate from a new angle: Gannon's direct connaction to the Daschle smear campaign:
Long before "Jeff Gannon" became a household pseudonym in the nation's capital, he had earned considerable recognition among the political elites of South Dakota. During that state's closely contested Senate race last year, the Talon News writer -- whose real name is now known to be James Dale Guckert -- dug his claws deep into Tom Daschle, the former Senate minority leader narrowly defeated by Republican John Thune.
Ironic, isn't it, that he aided and abetted a fake "bloggers dirty tricks" campaign, and is now whining about the evil rabble of bloggers, out to get HIM?
They really don't see the hypocrisy, do they?
Here's hoping more such chickens come home to roost.
