I thought it was a bit much when Gannon made a production out of personally congratulating Scotty on his marriage. He was a bit over dramatic try to make this point in one of the press gaggles. In one of the interviews I think on NPR he brings up Scotty's marraige again
... These guys are such jackasses.

RAW STORY has been told that the White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan visited a gay bar in Austin, Texas, on March 19, 1995. The date was placed exactly as a local memorial service was held on the same day.
The source, who would only comment on condition of anonymity, reserved comment on whether McClellan was actually gay, but said he was frequently seen at gay clubs. Another source also confirmed this account.
"He was often seen in gay clubs in Austin, Texas and was comfortable being there," the Texan said. "He's been seen in places that normal people who are looking for heterosexual relationships are not seen alone."
"He was the mayor's son in town, everybody knew who he was," the source added, referring to McClellan's mother Carole Keeton Strayhorn.
At press time, a message for Strayhorn, controller for the state of Texas has gone unanswered. Strayhorn is considered a hot future prospect for the Texas governor's mansion.
Guckert joined the White House press corps under former White House Press Secretary Ari Fleischer. McClellan was Fleischer's deputy at the time.
Several calls placed to the White House and McClellan's office today were not returned. The White House transferred the call to various offices and took detailed accounts of the information in this story, but refused to comment.
The White House has been aware of the allegations about McClellan's sexuality since at least September.
