WaPo's Dana Milbank: Republicans Went Easy on Kathleen Sebelius...
(wait for it)
(wait for it)
(Wait for it...!)
...Because She's White

James Taranto reports that, get this, the entire leftwing commentariat is now on board with the Democrats' acknowledged plan to simply racially demagogue in lieu running on their record or proposing any sort of positive agenda.

They take orders from the Central Planning Committee very well, don't they?

There is often a longing on the right that we too should be this hierarchical and slavish to the Central Planning Committee's various edicts. But this is inhuman.

In furtherance of the Democrats' Important Action Alert, the Washington Post's Dana Milbank suggests on Al Sharpton that she wasn't threatened with impeachment (as Holder was) because she's white.

From National Review:

Let’s compare Holder to Kathleen Sebelius, who has presided over Obamacare, which is the thing that has most antagonized the Right and the Republicans over all these years. You’re not seeing calls for her impeachment, you’re not seeing the same level of personal vitriol.

I think, that’s why, again, it’s fair to ask the question, and let every individual say why it is that they have that particular antipathy toward this attorney general, toward this president, and why not, say, toward Kathleen Sebelius, who they’re obviously much more at odds with.

Truth Revolt notes dryly that Milbank's own newspaper carried an article in October 2013 listing 30 Republicans who had demanded that Sebelius resign.
