Unlevel playing field and double standard (5.00 / 1) (#11)
by Ellie on Wed Mar 12, 2008 at 10:29:06 AM EST
The White House standard in response to scandal: We don't comment on ongoing legal matters (... till the trial is over ... the sentence comes down ... while the appeals process is occurring ... until all appeals are exhausted.)

Even Vitter and Craig had wagons circled around them. (Let's find out all the facts first yadda  yadda while the story cooled.)

In the Spitzer case, within hours, his opponents thugged an immediate resignation. The (R) Senate Leader Bruno couldn't wait to get out there and take over.

Leading Dems were nowhere to be seen or heard. One of the CNN stringers quoted unknown Dems as saying they were waiting for Spitzer to make his announcement.

Ridiculous.
