Hail Alma Mater

Remember Jeff Gannon? He is the "reporter" in the White House press corps who falsely attributed quotes to Democratic leaders and then asked: "How are you going to work with people who seem to have divorced themselves from reality?" It turns out he is not a reporter but a gay prostitute posing as a reporter, whose job it was to lob softball questions to White House press secretary, Scott McClellan, whenever the press corps became too aggressive and hostile.

I just learned that he attended the college where I teach, Thiel College. Fortunately, he transferred and graduated elsewhere, but he does have a connection here. We all feel especially proud of our former students today.
