Gannon gate?

I found a summary of the whole Gannon thing on this modern world and Salon. The whitehouse apparently hired a (former?) gay male escort with an alias and a questionable court judgment against him to pose as a journalist and lob softball questions at cabinet members and the president. he never received any form of background clearance but got a ton of access to the president. read the Salon article. I can't begin to summarize all this stuff.

The Nixon'esque ploys that this administration has gotten up to just get stranger and stranger.
