To be fair dont you think that asking Dean what solutions the Dems have for any of the problems he whines about when he knows they have none is confrontational too? Dont you think that anyone watching Dean squirm with that question would understand that the Dems dont have any solutions. Also, refresh my memory, what current scandals do the Democrats have, especially involving their congressional leaders? Reporters work with a story line. Due to Libby and Frist and to Ronny Earle, the Republicans do have what appear to be a series of "scandals". So Republican scandals becomes the story line into which reporters try to force their questions and reporting. Get used to it. Until something new and big happens to change the paradigm most reporters will continue in the same vein of questioning.
First, the very fact that you refer to the partisan, political attacks on DeLay and Frist as "scandals" is revealing. They have not been convicted of anything.
Dem scandals: Durbin's false accusations concerning Americans at Gitmo comparing them to the Nazis, Pol Pot, and the Gulag; Berger's theft and destruction of national security documents; House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi filed a late report for an aide whose trip to South Korea was financed by a group that had registered as a foreign agent, which appears to violate House rules; an inquiry into whether Rep. John Conyers (D-MI) and his aides improperly conducted partisan political activities out of his Detroit congressional office; an inquiry into allegations that Rep. Jim McDermott (D-WA) violated House ethics rules and standards in handing over a tape of an illegally intercepted phone conversation to the press; and an inquiry into whether Rep. William Jefferson (D-LA) misused his public office for personal financial gain.
The scandals listed above are the most recent. However, it is readily apparent, "to be fair," that the MSM has a double standard when it comes to reporting them. Clinton's pardons of Rich and the Puerto Rican terrorists, the transfer of technology to the PRC, campaign finance contributions from the sale of the Lincoln bedroom and from overseas, the use of the IRS to attack political opponents, etc. are far more important than what DeLay, Frist, and Libby are being charged with.
Umm... the Plame/Wilson treacherous plan to sandbag Bush on the war ... the corruption in Schumer's staff ... the rewriting of history ... the role of the pardoned Rich in the oil-for-food scandal ... the insistence we need the approval of corrupt France or corrupt UN ... for starters.
