Hey, Media

Hey, listen, if you are a member of the elite media, like you are Chuck Todd or Bob Schieffer or Jake Tapper or George Will, please take a moment to pop over to Memeorandum and check out the reaction of various media outlets to the Anthony Weiner scandal. Now, after you've done that, I want you to come back here and answer me this: why didn't you assholes treat David Vitter or, especially, John Ensign this way?

Why did David Vitter have an easy time getting reelected without having to listen to you guys question his morals 24 hours a day? And why wasn't John Ensign run out of the village on a rail for making a mess of the place? Aren't senators more than four times as powerful as congressmen? Isn't it a juicer story when the sex-scandal involves hypocrisy as well as lying?

The press might have a liberal bias in the sense that they actually paid attention in college and learned something, but they treat liberals like shit and give a pass to the most disgraceful and even criminal behavior by Republicans. How is Marco Rubio even a senator? Isn't it because you didn't do your jobs exposing him as a crook and not letting him wiggle away?

Tom DeLay ran an openly corrupt and criminal enterprise right in front of your noses for years and he never got the Charlie Rangel treatment.

I'm all for relentlessly pursuing corrupt or immoral politicians and humiliating them as an example to others. I just want some consistency. Why isn't Tom Coburn getting hounded for serving as Ensign's bagman? Lemme see 24/7 coverage of that dirtbag.

Also, too, Whitewater.

Do your jobs.

2. of course you are right.

I'm not too fond of the stupid Wiener today, but you are certainly right that the Blitzers are like ravenous dogs on this almost non story.

4. 1. Incriminating photos. 2. Twitter. 3. Lying in wall-to-wall press meetings.

Weiner raised the bar.

6. Whoa @ the new photo....

He *really* raised the bar. I have now seen my first blurry photo of a sitting congressman's erect, unclothed, penis and testicles.
