Salon.com News | "Jeff Gannon's" secret life: "Last week, Republican activist Bobby Eberle, the man behind the now infamous conservative Web site Talon News, insisted that before hiring "Jeff Gannon" as his White House correspondent, he never looked into Gannon's background. If true, Eberle probably wishes he had."

...

"Guckert insisted his only involvement with the sex sites was as a software consultant and, he added: 'Those sites were never hosted. There's -- nothing ever went up on them,' as he told CNN's Wolf Blitzer on Feb. 10. In an interview posted Feb. 11 with Editor & Publisher magazine, Guckert made the same claim: 'They were done through a private company [Bedrock Corp.] I was involved with doing Web site development about five years ago. The sites were never hosted, and nothing was ever posted to the sites.' On Monday, John Aravosis posted on his liberal site AmericaBlog.org detailed evidence indicating that not only was Guckert personally involved with the Web sites, but he was also offering his escort services for $200 an hour, or $1,200 a weekend."

You can't make this stuff up. If I could, I would've made up much lower rates...
Also, be careful on the AmericaBlog.org link, the photographic proof provided is pretty explicit!
