Jeff Gannon Can't Stop Stealing or Conniving or Lying
(Or urinating while taping and then publishing the movies online. Sheesh, it's bad enough that watching Congress on C-Span these last few years makes you feel like you're watching golden showers performed by men in toupees.]
From the Washington (Moonie) Times:
Former Talon News White House correspondent J.D. Guckert reportedly is implicated in falsely registering a political organization as a non-profit.It goes on to say that Jeff insists the FSF is "extremely legitimate". Well, he got the extreme part correct, anyway.
The Weblog dailyKos.com reported Thursday that Guckert, aka Jeff Gannon, who quit his job for the online publisher Talon News after media reports tied him to gay online prostitution and Republican Party operatives, was registered as the executive director of an organization called the Free Speech Foundation.
The Free Speech Foundation was registered as a tax-exempt non-profit with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service under code 501(c)(3), which prohibits the organizations from participating in or funding political activities.
Despite this, dailyKos.com charged, the organization was used to fundraise for a pro-Bush Web site, ProBush.com, that was facing a $5 million libel suit for naming an Arab-American senator on its ongoing "Traitor List."
Under his pen name Gannon, Guckert subsequently wrote an article about the lawsuit for Talon News, without disclosing his organization -- FSF -- had created a PayPal online fundraising account for a legal defense fund for ProBush.com's publishers, dailyKos.com said.
