A scandal with legs?


At last, a scandal that the media can focus on.

The fact that the Bush administration lied us into war, a war that has killed hundreds of thousands of people, has been a nonstarter of a scandal. The media yawns.

The destruction of the Constitution, the turning of America into a near fascist state? A yawner.

Bush’s embrace of torture? Who cares.

Letting New Orleans die? Good riddance.

The destruction of the environment, global warming threatening all mankind? You’ve got to be kidding. That’s a nonstory.

All of it, ho hum.

But now!

A Republican congressman, Florida Rep. Mark Foley, sent a naughty email to an underage page!! And get this! It’s not a girl; it’s a guy!!!

The media is riveted!
