A hireling, a fraud and a prostitute

Guardian Unlimited | Special reports | Sidney Blumenthal: A hireling, a fraud and a prostitute: "'In this day and age,' said press secretary McClellan, waxing philosophical about the Gannon affair, 'when you have a changing media, it's not an easy issue to decide or try to pick and choose who is a journalist.' It is not that the White House press secretary cannot distinguish who is or is not a journalist; it is that there are no journalists, just the gaming of the system for the concentration of power."

Even with what we know about the duplicity and incompetence of the current leadership, this is astounding.
