Liberalism: Why think when you can “feel”?

Foley’s replacement facing his own sex scandal

From ABC News:

West Palm Beach Congressman Tim Mahoney (D-FL), whose predecessor resigned in the wake of a sex scandal, agreed to a $121,000 payment to a former mistress who worked on his staff and was threatening to sue him, according to current and former members of his staff who have been briefed on the settlement, which involved Mahoney and his campaign committee.

Mahoney, who is married, also promised the woman, Patricia Allen, a $50,000 a year job for two years at the agency that handles his campaign advertising, the staffers said.
…
The affair between Mahoney and Allen began, according to the current and former staffers, in 2006 when Mahoney was campaigning for Congress against Foley, promising “a world that is safer, more moral.”

The outrage at Mahoney from the left is about as loud as a gathering of Air America listeners (both of them).

From Matthew 5:7: “You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother’s eye.”  May God be with Mahoney’s family through this personally tough time.

Night and Day, “Obama’s ‘disastrous’ economic plan” edition

The One in February:

In San Antonio on Tuesday, Obama said that Clinton’s foreclosure freeze was potentially “disastrous,” rewarding “people who made this problem worse” by benefiting banks that profit from high mortgage rates.

That One today:

Obama today rolls out another set of proposals for dealing with the economic crisis, one focused more on the human consequences of the crisis.

The plan includes helping out states and localities, allowing people to cash out part of their retirement savings without tax penalties, and an arrangement with banks that would include a 90-day moratorium on foreclosures for many homeowners.

The plan is a striking sign of how far this crisis has moved, and a sign that Obama has shifted toward a more populist approach. In February, after Hillary Clinton proposed a similar foreclosure moratorium, the Los Angeles Times reported that Obama condemned her plan…

Why, if I didn’t know any better, I’d swear the man doesn’t stand for anything and is just making up crap as he goes along, saying things that he thinks people want to hear.

CNN to black McCain supporter: Hey, why aren’t you on the plantation?

The CNN deathbed media mouthpiece says the brother should support Obama “in light of the recent tone” in McCain’s campaign.  In other words, McCain pointing out Obama’s shady friends and his economic ignorance is “racist”.  Nothing nearly as racist as, say, implying that a black man should just de facto be voting for Obama.

Nope…no liberal media bias!

MSM discovers “right rage”

The MSM has been noting the amount of palpable “rage” at McCain rallies from his supporters, most of whom are angry at his anemic attempts to fight back against the Obamaliar.  The MSM is “disconcerted” that such so-called “rage” exists on the right.

If only the MSM were interested in the mountains of examples of leftie rage over the last eight years, including this election cycle.  Yeah…if only.

Nope…no liberal media bias!

Quote of the day, “Deathbed media” edition

Excellent short column by Jim Treacher.  Money quote:

These geniuses [the MSM - Ed.] used to be a lot better at crafting a narrative, right? There was a time when they might have worried about ruining their own reputations in the process of advancing their political views. They’d at least make an effort to seem impartial. But if their whole industry is swirling down the toilet anyway, why keep pretending?

One last chance for glory before they check out for good.

The Deathbed Media.

Nope…no liberal media bias!
