Total double standard. Anything happen to Bush because of it? Nope. Not a dang thing.

Of course it's okay, because it's totally relevant. It's yet another example of the moral double standard that occurs when someone on the right does something compared to someone on the left. The media gives a free ride to the right. And just to reiterate that, here's an example:

Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia used an Italian hand gesture when questioned by a reporter after attending church this past weekend.

The Boston Herald reported Monday that the justice made "an obscene gesture under his chin" -- which prompted some online reports that Scalia had used his middle finger.

Untrue.

The bold is my emphasis. Is this a news story or a commentary about the news story? This AP reporter has agreed with Scalia's spokeperson. Case closed... according to the spokeperson. Yeah, if we took the word of every spokesperson for the person in question no one would do any wrong...
