Why do you think that Linda Chavez had to withdraw her name? Why do you think that Bernard Kerrik is not heading Homelanad Security? Do you not remember the DUI that almost got the President de-railed?
If you go back 45 years, John F. Kennedy could nominate his BROTHER for attorney general, and the press was mum on cronyism. Kennedy could do all sorts of scandalous and reckless things, but not a word was ever printed.
This type of scrutiny and character destruction has been increasing since the Reagan era, and the press has perfected it. The minute a nominee is named, reporters comb through school records, courthouses, and church registries. They pretend they are "just trying to let people understand who the nominee is" but what they are doing is digging for dirt. They interview everyone from the Sunday school teacher to the barber. They ask schoolmates to tell about times the candidate got in trouble. Heavens, Roberts' home town in northern Indiana was attacked because it was too white!
Back in my childhood, Supreme Court nominations were no big deal...they made a 30-second mention on the nightly news and that was it. Now, because the left has politicized the courts, every single nomination seems like a constitutional crisis.
His COMPLETELY AND TOTALLY UNQUALIFIED brother, you mean?
She broke the law in hiring illegal immigrants to clean her house. I much admire Linda Chavez, but facts are facts.
Why do you think that Bernard Kerrik is not heading Homelanad Security?
Because he can't be faithful to his own wife and he took kickbacks.
Do you not remember the DUI that almost got the President de-railed?
I think you're exaggerating the voting publics' concern with this. Voters know he drank and that he snorted coke. People make mistakes. GWB quit and moved on, became a Christian.
Marple, I'm not contesting what the MSM are: a sordid pack of immoral, lying, unethical, rabid, mangy dogs. I'm just saying that they didn't become this way only after the Clinton presidency.
