Wham, Bam, Thank You, Man.

Goldstein on media bias and "unnatural" acts.

Via Glenn.

Of course, if one wanted a more neutral example that doesn't involve sexuality (the media rationale being that we are such gay-bashers anyway, it's positively a public service to "out" members of the GOP, and it's much more relevant to assign an "R" than a "D" to those accused of sex acts), one might look at coverage of corruption among public officials. In those particular cases the trend is to either label the miscreant "Republican" or not to mention his/her party affiliation at all.

GPW (also via Insty): "Craig should resign." Yup. We're beyond the "dead girl, live boy" stuff, thank goodness—but I don't think it's too much to ask that elected officials get, you know—a room.

1 The Craig story is typical dog bites man, I think a scandal involving a republican senator and a women, now that is NEWS!

2 How about just the stories of all the rest and their wives? Will that do?

3 And because you do live in the Midwest, Azmat, and you might not be familiar with all our slang and jargon, I advise you to stay away from anything that involves the word "cornhole"--noun or verb. There is more than corn in Indiana, you know . . .

4 I think that Craig did the right thing, he did not waste the tax payer's money: by pleading guilty, he really never did anything other than tap his shoes, now some stupid Republicans want him out just for that! I hope he stays and fights, he is just a victim of the left wing conspiracy to out gays. And the homophobic right which cannot deal with its own repressed sexuality. I do understand what cornhole means, corn has this strange property it goes in and comes out looking and tasting the same. So for corn the input and output holes are the same. In other words the corn does not discriminate between input and output holes. Darrell obviously knows this distinction and maybe he picked it up in Indiana?

5 I'll take your word about looking and tasting the same, Azmat. I respect cultural traditions and all. And personal choices. I'll take a pass though.
