Rove-Gannon Connection?

Dotty Lynch is on the story.

But Rove's dominance of White House and Republican politics, Gannon's aggressively partisan work and the ease with which he got day passes for the White House press room the past two years make it hard to believe that he wasn't at least implicitly sanctioned by the 'boy genius.' Rove, who rarely gave on-the-record interviews to the MSM (mainstream media), had time to talk to GOPUSA, which owns Talon.

GOPUSA and Talon are both owned by Bobby Eberle, a Texas Republican and business associate of conservative direct-mail guru Bruce Eberle who says that Bobby is from the 'Texas branch of the Eberle clan.' Bobby Eberle told The New York Times that he created Talon to build a news service with a conservative slant and 'if someone were to see 'GOPUSA,' there's an instant built-in bias there.' No kidding.

Update: Keith Olbermann has some thoughts.

Update 2: Eric Boehlert points out that the flakiness is all too clear.
