Didn't our media follow and film Rep. William J. Jefferson everywhere he went for months?

I even posted about it last year. Shouldn't they be following and filming Vitter for a while now if they were fair?

1. Vitter is a Republican---there is a double standard

Gop almost get a pass.

Another Example: When the Republicans pulled "ALL-Nighters"
this was serious Business for MSNBC and CNN. The Reporters
went into pretzel shapes to keep things framed favorably for
GOP.

Last night according to these same reporter the Democrats
were pulling a silly stunt . Again they kept the stories
frmaed to favor GOP.

They expect the American to respect them???

Vitter is GOP.

2. It's "political theater" when Dems try to help our troops ...

but it's "serious business" when the Repukes fly into Washington from all over the country to have an emergency session on Sunday to pass meaningless, non-binding "Save Terri Schiavo" legislation which Bush signed in his pjs, having flown in from TX ... that's not "political theater" ...

Oh, then they complain that Dems are wasting taxpayers' money with "massive amounts of overtime" - despite the fact that they are salaried workers, not paid by the hour ... and actually wasted the taxpayers' money more last year by scheduling far too few sessions.

3. Right on.

All that money Haliburton , Blackwater absconded with
is not waste.

Then the 9 billion unaccounted for by Iraqi Government.

The double standard or brain dead Media is enough to exasperate
the best.
