New Jeff Gannon Interview
The New York Times Sunday Magazine has an interview with Jeff Gannon. This exchange told me all I needed to know, I didn't bother with the rest.
Scott McClellan, the press secretary to President Bush, called on you and allowed you to ask questions on a nearly daily basis. What, exactly, is your relationship with him?
I was just another guy in the press room. Did I try to curry favor with him? Sure. When he got married, I left a wedding card for him in the press office. People are saying this proves there is some link. But as Einstein said, "Sometimes a wedding card is just a wedding card.''
You mean like "sometimes a cigar is just a cigar''? That wasn't Einstein. That was Freud.
Oh, Freud. O.K. I got my old Jewish men confused.
Ok, I looked at one more snippet. Gannon looks to the future and says:
I'd like to get back into journalism. I'm hoping someone will offer me a job as a commentator or one of those political analysts that you see on the news shows all the time.
Don't hold your breath, Jeff. Or as Paul Simon would say (sing):
Just slip out the back, jack
Make a new plan, stan
...Hop on the bus, gus
...Just drop off the key, lee
And don't let the door hit you on the way out.
