The thing is, "Jeff Gannon" isn't his real name.
He was given a White House press pass using an assumed name.
Jayne: We was just about to spring into action, Captain. Complicated escape and rescue op. Wash: I was going to watch. It was very exciting.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I just want the POTUS to have to answer questions about whether an investigation will be done on his own administration's leaking of CIA records of an undercover agent (Plame) to a GOP paid plant using a false name to hide his side business running a gay military escort service.
My cynicism is such now that I think what should have been a deep reaching scandal on the order of Watergate, will evaporate in a whirl of spin.

Well, not until they could link it into the Oval Office itself. Fuck, I thought Abu Ghraib was enough to take Rumsfeld out. I was wrong. Hence, the more cynicism. Then they made the guy who justified torture the new Attorney General, and cynicism seemed quaint.

This is also true. But at the time, they were all "I guess we need to send somebody to this."(As you remember better than I.)
