White House Press Passes, aka free passes given out to porn proprietors

The whole Gannon/Glickert thing is really quite amusing. A man solicits gay military porn sites (which as a liberal I couldn't care less about stopping), receives a White House press pass after being unable to receive one for Congress, has the president call on him for questions, gets to look at classified information and actually plays a role in the Plame affair, resigns after the '"left-wing blogosphere" threatens him and his family', and there's not much uproar about it.

What would have happened had this occurred during the Clinton years? Somehow I sense Ken Starr would have already issued a few subpoenas.

Now, I realize some, like Slaughter, have sent FOIA requests to get to the bottom of the press pass issue. The Plame side of the story, however, is just as important. Look what's happening to Judith Miller and Matthew Cooper. They're being threatened with jail time for not revealing their sources, while Novak, the guy who wrote the initial story, has had no spotlight shone upon his head.

DAMN LIBERAL MEDIA!!
