Good article, Kev. Thanks.

I don't deny for a second that the Press Room is a perfect place for opportunists to make a political statement, or make a name for themselves, etc. That's fine and dandy, and of course, I recognize that every human being is biased to one extent or another.

My gripe about this whole situation is that the administration was clearly complicit in Guckert gaining access to the White House. He was definitely a plant, definitely a pawn, and now he's certainly a patsy. He was part of the Bush admin's master plan of media control. He was intended to be a gadfly, and probably a leaker of info harmul to Bush opponents. He had access to shit that he should not have seen, and there can be no doubt that someone on the inside was part of it.
