"A piece of TAPE..."

If you thought the Gannon/GUckert tale couldn't get stranger, the semi-mysterious TRBNews site posted an alleged "scoop" from the Moscow Gazette:

The now-notorious Gannon, a well-known American homosexual pornographer and also a close worker with the Republicans in the White House, is revealing everything about the powerful ring of homosexuals that now are controlling the President Bush.

Gannon, made many secret tape recordings while he was a “front” reporter for the right-wing Republicans at the White House. These tapes, which clearly show the influence of powerful perverts inside the most advanced of the American political circles, were made secretly by Gannon over a two year period.

With the assistance of a literary agent, Gannon has offered these most revealing and very private conversations, to a Russian publishing company’s offices in Malaysia and it is confidentially stated that a very dynamic and revealing book will be produced in the coming future!

Gannon claims intimate connections with not only Mr. Bush himself but also with top leaders in the Republican party and most especially acting as a connection with the very powerful and controlling American Christian militant organizations. He claims that several very famous Christian leaders are also homosexual and that these work together with others in high political circles!
Yeah, I wish it were true too -- but right now, I see no evidence. A Rovian hoax...?

(By the way: Brownie points go to any reader who recognizes the Watergate reference in my headline.)

Is the "tape" a reference to 18 and a half minutes of missing recordings, or to the tape holding the door to the Watergate open?

Actually, I was thinking of McCord's strange and very rare book "A Piece of Tape" -- a book which doesn't reveal much but spends many a paragraph muttering gnomishly about "TAPE"...as though that single word somehow contained the secret of the universe.
