If a liberal web site had a gay hooker as a "White House reporter" on their payroll, and the gay hooker got lots of White House access from Obama, what would the right-wing noise machine be doing?
Obviously they'd be screaming for Obama's head.
So why did this same right-wing noise machine let Bush off the hook for "Jeff Gannon?"

It's a shame Joe's not a VP who we get to hear from (media's fault, I know!) more often. I enjoy him.

(19,558 posts)I'd forgotten all about that one to tell you the truth. There was so much going on at the time it managed get lost in the rest of it over time.
I'd say this was a timely reminder. Where the hell was the media back then? They're so busy praying for a scandal now to boost their ratings/sales/advertising revenue they'll give credence to the least little BS, but back then the Bush WH was so rife with controversies that no one in the media gave a flip about!
Like Cha said, bloody hypocrites!
