GuckertGate hits Le Monde



| Reddit | Tumblr | Digg | FARK

Good article from Le Monde. (Sorry, it's in French.)

The last paragraph is the best. It talks about a Washington Post reporter, covering the inaugural balls, who got into serious trouble when he stepped foot out of the "area reserved for journalists." Apparently, journalists were required to have an "escort" when walking outside of their dog-pen they were given by the White House at the event.

Le Monde concludes by saying: "It's not known if Jeff Gannon, who advertised a Web site for male escorts, also had an 'escort' at the ball."

Snap, snap, Le Monde! (And don't get picky with my translation, I'm close enough :-)

Le malheureux avait commis une faute : il était sorti de l'espace réservé aux journalistes. Au-delà de cette limite, ceux-ci devaient être escortés, "du buffet à la salle de danse et même aux toilettes". Il raconte qu'une personne avec laquelle il parlait s'est figée quand elle a vu qu'il était "accompagné". On ne sait pas si Jeff Gannon, qui a fait de la publicité pour un site d'escort boys, était au bal "accompagné".
