Why did the MSM cover speculation about a Kerry affair with an intern...

... without any evidence, but have failed to spend one second giving coverage to the alleged affair between * and Condi?

Doesn't seem fair does it?

3. Yeah, pretty much

Although, I should be fair to the media. They didn't specifically cover the alleged affair. They covered the Drudge coverage for a couple of days, then they patted themselves on the back for the next week over how they didn't devote more coverage to a story with no factual basis.

The effect and double standard is still the same.

2. I'm sure it's Kerry's fault

He should have known better than to ever speak to a female. And a Democrat marry a rich woman?? Well that was just flat out stupid. I really don't know why he didn't get on the Sunday morning shows and scream about Bush and Condi. He's such a weak dick, he can't get anything right.

5. What I've been wanting to know for years:

Clinton may've smoked pot in college. E-V-I-L.

W is a known, long-time coke-snorter. Meh. No big deal.

6. It's called misdirection

something must of happened with the Bushes, so they dragged out Kerry's alleged affair. Randi was saying that's why the NYT is so interested in the Clinton's marriage, they want to reflect what may be happening with the Bushes. She said NYT gets it wrong just about the same percentage as Madsen, so maybe he's right.
