The John Edwards Hypocrisy

Ann Coulter makes some stinging remarks about how the mainstream media is ignoring the John Edwards mistress scandal. She has a good point - you hear almost nothing about it on the news but if it were a conservative:
I assume it would be jejune to point out that the MSM would be taking the wall-to-wall approach, rather than the total blackout approach, to the love child story if it were a story about Mitt Romney's love child or, indeed, Larry Craig's love child. They'd bring Ted Koppel out of retirement to cover that. Katie Couric, Brian Williams and Charles Gibson would be anchoring the evening news from Romney's front yard. They might even get Dan Rather to produce some forged documents for the occasion

Well, you can't pump up the populist constituency for Obama if your "two Americas" include the kids you have with your cancer-sick wife living on your palatial estate in one and your out-of-wedlock child and hottie-mistress living a kept life in a hotel in Vegas in the other.

You know I have done some thinking lately...."Freedom of speach" also includes the "freedom to not speak".
I get it now with the liberal media. They are not required to speak...because to do so would infringe on their "freedom to choose" when to speak and what to speak about..... whew.
I am so glad that I finally understand the liberal point of view.......to the degree that it makes me even more sick that I was.
The reason John's story isn't news is because it is not an issue with liberals. They don't go around talking about family values and stuff.....the only news is when someone who is conservative who actually "talks" about family values messes up. This is very clear to me

In related news, the Detroit mayor was jailed yesterday. No surprise that the news media didn't add "Republican Mayor Arrested" like normal because he isn't one. So here's a tip for you folks - if a politician does something horrible and nasty and they don't announce what party he belongs to, he's a Democrat. If it's a Republican, there won't be any doubt about it.

Ole Johnny boy was trying to keep this under the covers in hopes that he would be a VP. Hillary probably outed him.
IS their any, even the slightest, possibility that the media is trying to be careful for once? They have jumped the gun so many times and got bit. Some folks can't win for losing.
Just a thought.

Well, old John's lies finally caught up with him. He finally admitted today that he did have the affair. He still says he ain't the "baby daddy" though. Bull.
He'll be giving his mea culpa in an interview on Nightline tonight.
