Gary Condit redux.

[travelingtypist]

I'm still hating the corporate media. Every show spent half their time today talking about Sanford instead of Iran or healthcare. Yeah, it's a great TV story -- sex, disappearance a la a spy thriller -- but don't we have more important problems than this guy's sexual obsession?

1. Humor is sound health policy.

2. I disagree

After a couple of days, this will wind down. The Condit fiasco went on for months.

3. Well, there are no missing blond chicks and no shark attacks

What are they supposed to cover? We don't understand health care and Iran is just too depressing.

Viola! Sanford steps up and rescues the liberal media.

10. When do we get pics of the mistress? n/t

4. Often we battle hypocrits on the right and this guy was high on that list

Today is the moment of revelation and we celebrate that the truth is out.

6. What I want to know is.....

When Spitzer was caught paying for a prostitute the MSM was up in arms, calling non-stop for him to resign.

Today's revelations about an international affair by a Republican Governor has brought little demands for his resignation by the MSM.

All I've seen are the MSM respectfully asking GOP talking heads if he "should" resign, with little or no follow up as to how other Governors were forced to resign.

7. I can focus on more than one subject at a time

The Sanford story is incredibly important, just as every other revelation of sexual impropriety by these Family Values assholes. It's more than just the rank hypocrisy - "fine for me but not for thee" - it's the devastation they have wrought on other people (gays, the poor, women seeking to control their reproduction) whose sexuality they don't approve. He would deny people the ability to visit their loved ones in the hospital or pass on pensions while treating his own marriage like toilet paper.

8. Calling repubs out on their incessant (and sometime incest-ant) hypocrisy is never in vain.
