How Come O'Donnell's Flub Gets So Much Furious Attention In The Media and Phil Hare's Doesn't?

Oh I know the reason. The question is rhetorical.

Does the media itself know the reason? I think they do. But Howard Kurtz assures me none of this is intentional.

I sort of think it is intentional. O'Donnell's flub isn't being pushed so hard to sink O'Donnell (she's already behind) but to tell the public that Republicans are uninformed and have odd conceptions of reality.

And Phil Hare's statement that the federal deficit is "just a myth"? Might this perhaps suggest that Democrats are uninformed and have odd conceptions of reality?

Indeed it might! Which is why the media dutifully suppresses it.

By the way, Bobby Schilling is now seven points ahead of this fucking moron.

If you're in IL-17, hit this link to say hi and let them know you'll volunteer to turn out the vote against proudly-ignorant subcretins like Phil Hare.
