In its upcoming issue, Vanity Fair has done an investigation into the current cause of the kooky left, the case of disgraced White House reporter Jeff Gannon/James Guckert. And reporters David Margolick and Richard Gooding have uncovered…nothing. No White House wrongdoing. No secret plotting or illicit Gannon affairs with White House staffers. No Karl-Rove-master-plan-to-undermine-democracy hijinks. Nothing. “As time passed, Gannon came to seem, to at least some of the [left-wing] bloggers, as more like a freelance zealot than the linchpin of some much larger conspiracy,” Margolick and Gooding write. “They now admit that for them Gannon emerged as less a target in and of himself and more of an instrument for venting rage and for building what Gardner and Keeler [two zealous posters on the far-left DailyKos website] have incorporated as ‘ePluribus Media,’ an Internet-based freelance investigative unit.” The investigating is far more important than the venting, because Gardner, Keeler and others are the Left’s pajamahadeen, smart and highly motivated, even if they had nothing of significance to probe in the Gannon matter.
