Er... maybe I'm missing something here, but let's bring out our Scandal Scale (tm) and in one cup put Obama's "relationship" with this Rezko dude, and on the other put... oh, let's say George W.'s "fortuitous" insider stock dump that nobody really talked about during the 2000 campaign. How do they compare?
Let's see. Obama is associated with a guy who turned out to be a scumbag and is indicted on charges, correct me if I'm wrong, that are unrelated to anything Obama has done in office. George W. did something for which a less privileged citizen (e.g. Martha Stewart) would end up in jail. Uh huh.
A Republican candidate brazenly breaks the law because he can and the press is mum. A Democratic candidate has a connection to a shady character that may or may not mean anything, and oy gevalt, it's a scandal! Am I reading liberal blogs too much, or is there a liberal bias in the media?
