I Suppose The MSM Will Be As Gung-Ho To Prosecute Democrat Mary McCarthy As Republican Lewis Libby, Huh?

Yeah, right.

Here comes what I like to call "The Weekend of Important Distinctions."

Libby leaked something that hurt a Bush critic. Bad leak; one that was completely illegal and improper; he should rot in jail and/or Hell, not necessarily in that order.

McCarthy leaked something that hurt Bush himself. Good leak; one that was necessary for the public to fully understand the dirty and illegal actions the government is taking in its name; the investigation of McCarthy is nothing short of an, um, McCarthyesque witch-hunt, possibly to distract us from the war in Iraq and Bush's flagging popularity.

Everyone will be saying the same fucking thing.

And it's not the DNC talking points. There's no coordination here. The MSM just all think exactly alike, and precisely the same as the DNC's communication squad.

You don't have to send the MSM the DNC talking points anymore. They don't need to be told what to say to help the Democrats any more than a pimp needs to be instructed how to peddle his whores.

No Pulitzer For Ace Update: Steven Macklin proves to be a real f'n' buzzkill by noting that the NYT noted McCarthy's 2004 donation to Kerry, deep in the article about her.

Eh. Maybe I was the first to publish.
