This double standard continued Sunday as the three broadcast network political talk shows all began with Hayward's yacht outing while ignoring the President's R&R on the links.

What follows are videos and transcripts of the opening segments of ABC's "This Week," CBS's "Face the Nation," and NBC's "Meet the Press":

Obama needs to be impeached, tried for treason and sent to Gitmo to rot with his Muslim buddies.

The usual media clowns gave Obama a pass. Chris Wallace brought it up to Mitch McConnell though.

I can't watch those shows on Sunday morning - they cause me to lose my religion. Hypocrisy, thy name is MSM.

Do these lefty shills have no contact with the real world? Do they live in total isolation? IS THERE NOONE WITH A BALANCED POLITICAL OUTLOOK WHO MEETS THEM AND CAN ACTUALLY CALL THEM OUT ON THEIR DISHONEST BIAS - IN PUBLIC IF POSSIBLE? NOONE?

Maybe I’m in the minority here, but what’s the big deal with Tony Hayward going to a yacht race? He just spent about the past two months working 20 hour days, 7 days a week, and just got demoted. He might should’ve been fired, but the whole point is, he’s not working as the point man for BP anymore. Why is the media jumping on him about it?
