And imagine any Republican being caught in fraud of that sort. It would be the kiss of hot smoking political death.
“And imagine any Republican being caught in fraud of that sort. It would be the kiss of hot smoking political death.”
It wouldn’t be their death, but would certainly be repeated on the nightly news for weeks. look, it’s not as if I don’t think it’s a legitimate story. It’s not as if had this been someone beside Obama it wouldn’t go in the scandal folder to be recalled whenever you want to score a point against them.
We see these double standards every day. Obama admits to doing drugs in his memoir, who cares? Bush hems and haws, and we are free to dog him with it at every campaign spot. Had he admitted it, it wouldn’t suddenly turn into non-news like for Obama. Oh, no, it’d be front page news, lead off the big three networks, and run 24/7 for a while on cable. You better believe Bush’s agent lying in an advertisement for his memoirs, likewise, would be a scandal.
The thing is, I don’t think it’s a smoking gun as regards his NBC status. I don’t think it’s much of anything as regards his NBC status. I don’t think he or anyone else should go to jail for it, and I defnitely don’t think he should be impeached for it. It’s yet another thing to add to the “Obama’s persona is an act” folder.
