I think we're all getting another demonstration of the right's hypocrisy with their whining about Weiner and silence about Vitter.

All I can say is that, as the democrats are writhing in pain and begging Weiner to resign, the republicans can finally stand by the side and smile, now that the shoe is on the other foot.

It's time to regulate the media, like in France, for example. It is truly required, as things have already gone out of control.
Wiener is only an embarrassment to himself. however, people are noticing the partisanship from the news media and dem politicians, who are doing their best to ignore Wiener Gate, or down play it.

Exactly, it was 14 days before Climategate was reported on the major networks. My local left leaning newspaper took similar time to report on it and in that case they were reporting on the investigation of Mann because I'm close to Penn State.

If this had been a story on emails and internal documents coming to light about <insert any company the liberals hate> it would have been front page news for weeks and that is just a fact.

All this backbiting, baiting, pigeonholing and stereotyping is making me downright sleepy.

There needs to be at least 4 choices to the poll. 5 would be better.
