Media hypocracy

The furor over the S Caroline Republican shouting at the Liar-in-Chief is once again the Media at its worst. The largely artificial outrage (unprecedented they charged) relies on the people having forgotten that in 2005 Bush was booed by Democrats when he recited statistics about the coming collapse of Social Security. The Media then cheered.

Also conveniently forgotten are the words of the Lightening of High Places (Barak o Bawmawh) in 2006: "Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership."

Of course, the deficit then was 150 billion/year, whereas it is 1.9 trillion this year, but hey...then it was Bush and now it is the anointed one.
