James Dale Guckert is an American conservative columnist better known by the pseudonym Jeff Gannon.
White House reporter
Between 2003 and 2005, he was given credentials as a White House reporter and (possibly at the same) time worked as a professional escort named “Bulldog”.[1][2] Gannon was able to bypass the standard clearance procedures for White House press passes, which later raised suspicions that he had received special treatment.[3][4][5] He was employed by the conservative website Talon News at some point during the period.[6]
Gannon first gained national attention during a presidential press conference on January 26, 2005, when he asked United States President George W. Bush a question that some in the press corps considered "so friendly it might have been planted":
"How are you going to work with [Senate Democratic leaders] who seem to have divorced themselves from reality?"
This overtly partisan question brought him to national attention. Reporters began digging into his background and revealed that he had been a male escort.
Johnny Gosch
William H. Kennedy suggested on Michael Corbins radio show that Jeff Gannon is the abducted boy who went missing in the 1980s, Johnny Gosch. By his account to see if the people in Washington are listening. Gannon reacted and threatened to sue.[7]
