If only the Republicans would actually attack, but they won't.

Our man-child President will be protected by the media like a mother bear protects her cub.

"Last week, Republicans were attacking Democrats with a vengeance for being corrupt -- unleashing a barrage of press releases..."

Oooooooo... attacking with a vicious "barrage of press releases!" The Republicans better find a better means of attack than press releases. Who do they think the frikin' press is?

Mr. Lambro, you're delusional.

Leftists are exempt from the punishments that mere proles endure.

You must have been asleep at Re-education Camp that day.

But Democrats who have won on this message of culture of corruption now find the tables have turned on them, and they do have to be very careful that it doesn't get bigger," Duffy told me.

They are corrupt by their nature. This will get bigger because their SOP leaves no other choice.

Recall that Newt Gingrich got Speaker Jim Wright’s scalp & that served as a catalyst for the Republican takeover of the House of Representatives. I’d say you’re correct to be skeptical about the Republicans taking action against corruption. But the opportunity is there for a new Republican leader with a little bit of vision.

I disagree. Republicans are attacking and with some success. The press has been forced to ask some (not so) hard questions with more to come. Two of Obama’s appointees are already tainted and they haven’t even left the starting gate yet. The comment in the article that this won’t hurt Obama may be right when talking about him personally but it will affect his ability to govern. Not only that, he’s been exposed as thin skinned. He’s bound to piss people off with his haughtiness eventually. These scandals could have an impact in the 2010 election cycle.

The Republicans should demand that Obama answer questions regarding Rezko, Blago, Jackson and Daley. It should be 24x7, at every press conference.

Run ads asking, “What is Obama Hiding?” and “Bigger than Watergate?”

Here would be a good one. “Democrats called Republicans the Culture of Corruption and because of it, the people listened and put Democrats in office. Now Obama is asking for change. Is the new Democrat Culture of Corruption the change Obama was speaking of?”

Recall Obama

The Chicago Tribune knew about the plot to sell Obama’s seat in October but sat on the story. They sat on it until someone was about to fork over money and make it a bigger crime.

And where was this dope smoking picture of OBambu before election day?

The MEDIA colluded with the DEMOCRATS to sell America on a notion of a GOP “Culture of Corruption” in 2006. It is the same media that colluded with the DEMOCRATS to get Obambi elected.

The writer doesn’t seem to understand that the MSM will run interference for the Dems while attempting to appear neutral.

Harry Reid is also involved with scandals.

As is Chris Dodd.
