So where's the reporting?
If there were a Democratic president's nominee that was blocked in committee by a Democrat the MSM would be screaming that the Democratic party was imploding. Why aren't they saying that about the GOP (re: Voinivich and Bolton)?

If there was a Democratic majority leader with half the number of fund raising improprieties of Tom DeLay and a Democratic-controlled congress did nothing, the MSM would be screaming about partisanship and doing their own investigation.

I know. Nothing new. I just need to keep repeating to myself "There is no bias in the media. There is no bias in the media."

1. It's "nothing new", but it should be repeated over and over and
over and over until we get a friggin' press that does its job.

Good job, Mabus.

2. May be better that way
if it's in the press, the Repuges will be going crazy like the freepers and calling and writing and calling him to scream...I just hope that the 2 weeks hold until next meeting doesn't give the other tow the line repuge Senators to threaten and tell him to stay in line. God forbid they may have minds and consciences, stay on message - vote the party line....

3. It is in the press
The press is leaning toward the "Bush deserves his nominees" horseshit.

No story I've seen is headed " Nominee Bolton in trouble".
