The president’s top advisor is facing calls that he resign over comments he made in New York City Wednesday in which he claims liberals did not understand the consequences of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.

In remarks at a Conservative Party fundraiser in Midtown last night, White House Senior Advisor Karl Rove said liberals responded weakly to the 9/11 attacks, and later put American troops abroad in danger by criticizing their actions.

"Conservatives saw the savagery of 9/11 and the attacks and prepared for war; liberals saw the savagery of the 9/11 attacks and wanted to prepare indictments and offer therapy and understanding to our attackers," said Rove.

Democrats were outraged by the comments. Calling the statements “insulting,” Senator Hillary Clinton on Thursday demanded an apology from Rove and called on Republicans to repudiate his comments.

NY1’s Rita Nissan filed this report.

The president's top advisor has never been one to mince words, but Democrats say Karl Rove crossed a line at the New York State Conservative Party fundraiser Wednesday night.

"Conservatives saw the savagery of 9/11 and the attacks and prepared for war; liberals saw the savagery of the 9/11 attacks and wanted to prepare indictments and offer therapy and understanding to our attackers," said Rove.

Democrats call those words partisan and hurtful, especially because they say they were behind the president after 9/11.

“It’s appalling. It's saddening,” said Senator Charles Schumer. “It was clearly opportunistic what he said, but it goes way beyond that.”

Democrats say Rove must apologize or resign.

Senator Hillary Clinton brought Governor George Pataki into the debate. The two rarely criticize one another, but Clinton wants Pataki to speak up because he and Rove stood shoulder to shoulder after he made the comments.

“I would also call on Governor Pataki to repudiate these comments. He was at that dinner last night,” Clinton said Thursday.

But the Republican Pataki says Clinton is a hypocrite. He says she never condemned Democratic Senator Dick Durbin for likening the Guantanamo Bay prison to Nazi concentration camps, and Democratic Party Chairman Howard Dean for saying many Republicans never earned an honest living.

“Senator Clinton might think about her propensity to allow outrageous statements from the other side that are far beyond political dialogue,” said the governor.

While Pataki defended Rove, Mayor Michael Bloomberg said in a statement: "We owe it to those we lost to keep partisan politics out of the discussion and keep alive the united spirit that came out of 9/11."

At the White House, reporters bombarded press secretary Scott McClellan with questions.

“Karl was simply pointing out the different philosophies and different approaches when it comes to winning the war on terrorism,” said McClellan.

McClellan says Rove will not back down.

Michael Long says there's no reason to. He's the chairman of the Conservative Party, and invited Rove.

“I think it was on target, fair and appropriate,” said Long.

The crowd, which stood in applause, agreed. But Democrats will do all they can to prove Rove went too far.

Secret Service Papers Raise Issue of Propaganda, National Security, and Possible Sex Scandals in the White House; Bush, Old Media Hope No One Notices

Secret Service's Disclosure of "Temporary Appointments" Granted to "Jeff Gannon" Reveals That the Service Can Only Account for 49 Days of Security Clearance for Gannon Out of the More Than Two Years He Spent "Reporting" in the White House Press Corps

By ADVOCATE STAFF

We've covered the Gannongate scandal so many times in this space, we can't, in fact, easily or comprehensively link to our coverage of this enormous, stunning, and almost criminally under-investigated scandal without running out twenty or more links in the first paragraph of this article.

Suffice to say that if you begin reading The Nashua Advocate archives (to be found on the sidebar to the right) on February 16th, 2005, and continue reading the next month's worth of articles, you'll have a fairly good primer of where our story stands so far, to include a coordinated effort between "Gannon" and the G.O.P. to bring down U.S. Senator Tom Daschle last November; out-and-out lies from the Bush Administration and the Republican Party of Texas regarding the scandal; Democratic calls for a Congressional investigation which were gleefully ignored by the supposedly upright and national security-conscious Republican Party; and much evidence (see here, for example) that Gannon was a White House propaganda plant, if not much, much (and salaciously so) more.

[And that's just a taste of what's out there--to appreciate each and every mind-bending twist and turn in this saga, one really has to peruse the entire Advocate archives from mid-February to mid-March].

So what a story this is: a practicing gay hooker infiltrating the White House press corps after being hired by a fictional conservative news service, despite having no journalistic experience or professional credentials whatsoever, despite using an alias, and despite failing every possible measure for legitimate entrance into the hallowed halls of the Bush Administration's secret lair.

That is, the White House--which, in fact, we own, not Bush.

Now the U.S. Secret Service has revealed damning documents which blow this already stranger-than-fiction (but wholly true) scandal entirely out of the water.

1. Secret Service Access Control Records which establish that so-called "reporter" "Jeff Gannon" (real name "James Guckert," "working" name "The Bulldog"; yes, we're serious) entered the highest-security building in the world--The White House--on dozens of occasions when there was no journalistic reason for him to be there, because, in short, no press briefing was being held. That's right, a practicing, alias-using gay hooker roaming the halls of the White House, doing God knows what for God knows what reason. Repeatedly. And what's even better, the Secret Service can't locate many of his "in" and "out" times for his hours-long forays into the People's House. Scandal?

2. The Secret Service has also now answered written interrogatories submitted to the agency by Democratic Members of Congress. These answers contain irrefutable proof that Gannon received extraordinary and entirely inexplicable special treatment from members of the Administration in accessing the White House under the dubious--even incredible--circumstances in which he pitched tent there for more than two years as a phony reporter and "professional" Bush Administration propagandist.

3. Top progressive news agencies like Raw Story are already starting to put together some of the pieces of the puzzle in response to this new evidence from the Secret Service.

And the picture isn't pretty.

Consider this excerpt from the article linked to above:

Guckert made more than two dozen excursions to the White House when there were no scheduled briefings. On many of these days, the Press Office held press gaggles aboard Air Force One--which raises questions about what Guckert was doing at the White House. On other days, the president held photo opportunities.

On at least fourteen occasions, Secret Service records show either the entry or exit time missing. Generally, the existing entry or exit times correlate with press conferences; on most of these days, the records show that Guckert checked in but was never processed out.

In March 2003, Guckert left the White House twice on days he had never checked in with the Secret Service. Over the next 22 months, Guckert failed to check out with the Service on fourteen days. On several of these visits, Guckert either entered or exited by a different entry/exit point than his usual one. On one of these days, no briefing was held; on another, he checked in twice but failed to check out.

"I'd be worried if I was the White House and I knew that a reporter with a day pass never left," one White House reporter told Raw Story. "I'd wonder, where is he hiding? It seems like a security risk."

Indeed.

In fact, if this were the Clinton White House there would be a Senate investigation with full subpoena power being undertaken right now.

And indeed, the Ranking Minority Member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, U.S. Senator Joe Biden (D-DE)--a man who knows a thing or two about identifying and investigating grand-scale security breaches in the White House and in American government--has said publicly (on television, no less) that he thinks an immediate investigation is warranted.

And that was before this bombshell from the Secret Service, which establishes Gannongate as, at worst, a massive national security scandal, at least a stunning propaganda scandal, and quite possibly--as The Advocate has been speculating longer than just about anyone, since February 16th--a homosexual sex scandal involving top members of the Bush Administration.

Only the light of inquiry will uncover the filth, graft, media manipulation, and possible criminal activity which undergirds this story.

So, any bets on whether the Moral Majority in Congress will be willing to investigate a gay hooker with a false name traipsing through the maximum-security White House without A) a care in the world, or B) any reason whatsoever to be there, particularly since he's claimed publicly (which we now know to be a lie) that no one in the Bush Administration did him any special favors?

Oh, but you bet your ass they did him special favors, and not merely in allowing him to be one of the few reporters called on at the President's (ultra-rare) January 26th, 2005 press conference.

The Bush Administration, and no one else, made this now-discredited reporter famous and violated traditional, long-in-place White House credentialing and security policies in order to do it.

Why?

What precisely did they get in return, from a gay hooker with absolutely no professional credentials in any other sphere of operation?

Where's a rocket scientist when you need one?

Biden might not want to be the one to investigate this.

Guckert has hinted that he met PNAC Joe years before his stint imitating a journalist.

I'm only as offended as you are re: Dean's comments.

In other words, both are speaking to - and raising funds for - their base.

Speaking of raising, have you ever noticed JesterStar's crotch whenever an image of Brad Pitt comes into his sight-line?
