I have not mentioned this episode because I really, truly, don’t care. I do find all the shock and outrage on both sides a little amusing:
– You mean to tell me that some newspapers and newspaper reporters sometimes use press releases verbatim? Really- Democrats better not push too hard on this one, or they are going to put half of the media exposure from their activist groups ouot of business.
– You mean to tell me that Democrats are furious that there might be someone in the White House Press Corps who is not overtly hostile to everything the administration does?
– Really, I am shocked to learn the White House Communications office might treat someone who tends to give them favorable coverage with kid gloves. Really- I am just flabbergasted that might happen.
– You mean to tell me a few wingnut Democrats in the House and Senate are going to try to treat this like Watergate? Really, I am shocked.
– What? I don’t believe it. I find it unbelievable that Democrats and their partisan bloggers might gleefully out a gay man,simply because he does not adhere to the party line. They have never done that before. People that might do that might even call Condi Rice a ‘House Nigger’ or call Colin Powell and ‘Uncle TOm.’ That would never happen, you know.
Really- no one looks very good with all this faux outrage. And this will be my last post on the issue.
