Faux Reporter Scandal

The right are making lots of noises about how the left is unfairly digging into "Jeff Gannon's" past as an alleged male prostitute, as if suddenly now a public figure's sex life is rather beyond the bounds of good taste to bring up (yes, despite the fact that any services Monica may have performed for Bill were presumably gratis and therefore prefectly legal....) Check this lengthy-but-worth-it blog post for background on why the fact that Gannon/Guckert was a male prostitute may be extraordinarily relevant.

The link is to the blog of Jeff Wells, who describes himself as "cautiously pessimistic," but who I'd describe as a slightly more paranoid conspiracy theorist than Richard Belzer on a coke binge, but I also think he raises some really good points.
