I guess what is good for the goose isn't always good for the gander.

How sweet. How do you know who the husband was as referred to in the article. Is that a rotating position?

Blood clot in the lung. Hillary's aim is getting worse. She shot Foster in the head.

I will always be grateful to Gerry for the life we had together," Hara, who married Studds a week after same-sex marriage was legalized here in 2004, said in a statement. ''We truly were blessed to have what every married couple hopes for: to spend our days with the person we love.

Uh, Hara, were you a part of "the life" when he was doing the chicken-hawk thing? Or were you guys still doing it--together?

Democrat nails intern (Good thing. Patriot. Hero. Pioneer).

Republican writes to intern ("Evil". "Must be removed". "Criminal").

Has there EVER been a clear indicator of two different treatments of the same thing?

The word "Arkanside" springs to mind.

Now why would you suspect that? After all, "head injuries sustained while walking his English springer spaniel" is a common cause of death isn't it?

Democrats have no sense of shame about what they do and the MSM agrees with their position thus we get this type of adulation for a child molester... The same thing is happening with Harry Reid. He is defying anyone to prove that his profiting from a suspicious real estate deal was illegal. Same with Hillery's cattle futures deal. Are there any uncompromised "reporters" left?

He was probably expecting "head injuries sustained while loping his Arkansas mule"?

"After his 1997 retirement from Congress he became a lobbyist for the fishing industry and environmental causes. In 1996, Congress named the 842-square-mile Gerry E. Studds Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary."

---- and they wonder why the fishing industry in New England is in decline.

Love is everything for these guys. What about children?
