"but why don't the rest get it?"
I don't know. I think some of them (Laura I immediately calling for Hastert to resign and many of the screaming about the Dubai port deal come to mind)don't do the due diligence they should and/or don't think logically through a story. FReepers do more investigation than many of them - - and they have Staff to do it for them! They're like some in the DBM - want to be the first out of the box w an opinion/story. Or, perhaps some of them want to look like they're mavericks and don't always cater to the conservative/Pubbie point of view. All they'd have to do is look at the history of polling in the past couple of elections and the demographics and questions being asked in the polls to know something isn't 'right'. Guess it's easier for them to help the DBM spout their nonsense than to do a little work, formulate new and different talking points and expound on differences.
"It's never been more foolish than now to listen to the pap coming from the DBM."
You are so right!
"Also I am not holding my breath hoping that any of the Sunday shows will have dingy harry on defending how he made 1.1 million bucks off 400,000, ala hillary style, he stole it!!
That story is bound to be buried deep in the archives of the msm."
Quite frankly, I was shocked that AP broke the story and a few others included it. But, I don't expect it to get much traction and, agree with you, it will be buried. There was a female attorney being interviewed by Greg Kelley (I like Kelly Wright better). He pretty much let her go on about how Reid really didn't do anything wrong, just some technicalities, yada, yada, yada. It's always a 'technicality' if a Dim does it but if a Pubbie does something similar or less, they must be censured and/or kicked out of Congress. I hope the Senate Ethics Committee investigates it, but I'm not holding my breath.
