Man-whore finds new position

Not really news: as part of yesterday's National Day of Prayer, a Marathon Bible Reading was hosted at the Capitol by the International Bible Reading Association. Attendance numbered. . . in the very low double-digits, as most of six hundred chairs set up for the event remained empty throughout the day.

News: the spokesman for the International Bible Reading Association, Jeff Gannon/James Guckert of White House sleepover fame, defended the lack of turnout for the reading, saying "This isn't that kind of event." Huh?

Later in the day, "National Day of Prayer observance and news conference" for 3 p.m. was scheduled in front of the Supreme Court. Gannon, ever versatile, showed up to do "press outreach" for the single photographer and reporter (from different papers) who showed up.

If you haven't already clicked on the link above, read the whole lovely, snarky Washington Post article here. Princess Sparkle Pony and Wonkette also bring the snark amusingly.

The Neo-cons have been semi-successful in linking fundamentalist Christian religion to pro-war/militaristic values, pro-greed lifestyles, and anti-welfare positions, but they STILL haven't been able to make that 'polarity-switch' from anti-gay to pro-gay yet.. maybe that's Jeffy-boy's new job?
