    Overheard on the Web, and other Web links

    Back to the Gannon story 

    This is incredibly weird, but just too interesting not to pass on: The Des Moines Register has a story about a billowing Internet rumor that Jeff Gannon/J Guckert is really Johnny Gosch, an Iowa boy who was kidnapped at age 12 in 1982, said to have been by a pedophile ring.
    Gannon, The White House correspondent for Talon News, was later revealed by bloggers to have had a male escort/pornography background and quit his job. He's lately caused a stir by being invited to a National Press Club event. Johnny Gosch seems to resemble Gannon, but would be several years younger. That apparently hasn't stopped dozens of bloggers from noting the coincidences.

    Comments:
    So the article says that some random person posted publicly a statement that they look similar. Immediately bloggers disproved they were the same person.

    No major blog even picked up on the story. At least none that I know of, and I think I know them all (DU is not a blog).
