Talon News shuts down - Domain names for porn sites tied to reporter now up for sale
 
http://www.wnd.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=43057

Talon News, the website at the center of a scandal linking one of its reporters to the White House, has temporarily shut down its online operations, while explicit Internet domain names allegedly used by its reporter are now up for sale.

[...]

The scandal, known as GannonGuckertGate, involves Jeff Gannon ? by daylight a credentialed "reporter" covering the White House for both the Talon and GOPUSA.com websites, while allegedly moonlighting as a $200-an-hour male escort and purveyor of explicit websites like HotMilitaryStud.com and MilitaryEscorts.com.

It turns out Jeff Gannon was a pseudonym and alter ego for Jim Guckert, the name under which Gannon allegedly posed for pictures on those sites and advertised his services. He resigned his position with Talon and GOPUSA.com following the disclosures by bloggers.

Although HotMilitaryStud.com and MilitaryEscorts.com ? websites suggestive of homosexual pornography ? are no longer online, their domain names are now up for sale.

"This is the site you've been hearing about," says the ads for both sites which are listed in the "Adult/Porn" category.

The asking price for HotMilitaryStud.com is $15,000, while MilitaryEscorts.com is asking $7,500. Traffic figures claim more than 66,000 and 24,000 unique visitors to the pages, respectively. No previous offers had been made for either as of press time.

Well $22,500 is about enough to cover his Delaware state taxes...

And The Wilmington News-Journal in Delaware reported that Guckert was delinquent in $20,700 in personal income tax from 1991 to 1994.

I?m still mystified by this story. I was rejected for a White House press pass at the start of the Bush administration, but someone with an alias, a tax evasion problem and Internet pictures where he posed like the ?Barberini Faun? is credentialed to cover a White House that won a second term by mining homophobia and preaching family values?
