Good Thing Nixon Was a Republican

It would seem that someone had bugged the Office of Senator Mitch McConnell.  A recording of his strategy sessions in facing the b list actress Ashley Judd was found.  I would think that bugging a person's room is illegal.  Maybe I'm wrong.  I know that homeland security claims the right to do whatever it is they think that they should be able to do in the interest of "security."  Perhaps Big Sis thought that Ashley Judd carpet bagging her way into a Senate seat in Kentucky was a matter of national security.  She hasn't been able to stop the last few terrorist attacks, so maybe this is her strong suit.
Had this been the office of Harry Reid that was bugged, or Nancy Pelosi, or any liberal politician, I have no doubt that the msm would be screaming Watergate from the tops of the roofs.  The comparisons would go on into the twilight hours, and the indignation ( real or otherwise) would be thick.
I've read several books about President Nixon.  He seems like he had some genuinely good ideas, but he was more paranoid than a cokehead. It was a third rate burglary, and it was the cover up that killed him.
I can only hope that the msm shows the same zeal in ferreting out the person or people who bugged the McConnell headquarters.  I am not holding my breath.
Does anyone remember the big yawn that Slick Willie received for getting oral sex in the Oval Office?  The pathetic attempts to equate consensual sex with a waste of time were too numerous to count.  They queued up Carville to run the story into the ground, and the msm was only too happy to oblige.
They were all only too happy to ignore that it wasn't about having sex with some pathetic pudgy girl who didn't mind being used sexually.  It was about the perjury he committed. Perjury is a felony. One would think that with two lawyers in the room, that one of them would have realized it. Maybe they missed that day in law school.
Eventually, Clinton settled the case.  Eventually, it was proven that he lied under oath and was disbarred.  Maybe someday the msm will cover the story, but I'm not holding my breath.  Their double standard is hugely evident by the r or the d beside a politicians name.
President George W. Bush never had a honeymoon period with the press.  They were furious that he beat their boy, Al Gore, and they never forgave him for it.  Any mispronunciation was a field day.  Never mind 53 states. Never mind the Marine 'corpse'.
The folks who job it is to tell us all of the news, all of the time have been slacking off.  Luckily, they cannot control the internet (thanks algore) and information is still flowing freely.  That must be why the people who get their news from one of the big three networks is at an all time low.  But the people who are responsible for telling us what is going on with our government, our Republic, and our politicians are not doing their jobs.
Consider the naked bias in the news.  Think about all the vitriol that is spewed toward Fox News for not being left of center. What are they trying to hide from us?  Get the answer to that, and you can thank me later.
