I was going to say “Sorry for the typo,” but you just had so much fun with it, didn’t you?

Fact remains, when Republicans are caught in a scandal, the right wing response is “Democrats get a pass.”

When a Democrat gets caught and is plastered over the news 24-7, the right-wing response is “They didn’t identify him as a Democrat.”

Reality is, Spitzer resigned within 48 hours and Larry Craig is still in office. I’d sure hate to tell my wife I paid $4,000 for a hooker, but I’d hate a lot more to tell her I got caught cruising the men’s room at the airport. I suppose I could say that Republicans get a free pass for anonymous gay sex, but that would be pretty silly, wouldn’t it?

Let’s not forget that the “objective” news media wanted to bury the Clinton-Monica story altogether, until Drudge broke it and they had no choice.

LOL, and then they had “no choice” but to rub our noses in it day and night for the next two years.

LOL, you’re a major shareholder in Maytag, right?

At least at the mayor’s press conference, he had his lawyer and not his wife standing next to him.  No matter which party he belongs to, in the future if a wife is dragged on stage to stand next to a cheating husband, I’d like to see:

1. Him with a black eye; and

2. Her carrying a large cast iron frying pan.

And just once, I’d like to see the press cover it fairly--but I’m dreaming.

But, BUT ...

At his FIRST press conference (not really because he took no questions) after the text messages were made public, he DID have his wife by his side as he acknowledged the sexual affair with his “chief of staff”.

Left OUT of all of this is the fact that the CITY will now have to pay off a NINE.TWO MILLION DOLLAR wrongful firing lawsuit won by the cops King Kwame fired for investigating the party at his city-provided mansion.

ALSO ...

Left out is the fact that the stripper hired to perform at that very same party mysteriously turned up DEAD a few weeks later - MURDERED, thus rendering HER unable to testify against the “Hip-Hop Mayor”.

I TOO ...

Was born in Detroit.  Thankfully, my parents had the foresight to move the family to Arizona prior to the ‘67 riots.  Detroit has TWENTY TWO THOUSAND vacant and burned out HOUSES that serve as crack dens, whore houses, etc.  It is a disgrace.

So much for black leadership.

Already a thread on this, but I guess the Bot doesn’t really know that.

Well, yea.  But there are already more than eight thousand whiny, leftist comments from you on this board, but that doesn’t mean that there is not always room for one more.

I have to tell you Chuck, I have Vlad on ignore and I try to avoid it when someone quotes him, but in this case...you gave me my biggest laugh of the day! Thank you!

Susan, it gives me great pleasure to see that my charm is so great that even McCain supporters are occasionally unable to resist it. [grin]

You know your city is a complete and utter s@#thole when…

Hip-Hop Mayor

Rocky,
I missed that press conference.  It was touching, in this one, to hear the man who had time for thousands of steamy text messages to his girlfriend, now declare his first concern is to get back to working for his constituents.
