Only one problem with your theory: the media is NOT reporting it.

That isn't a problem with the theory as I understand it -- it's the predicted outcome. In other words, taking the liberal position buys protection, so long as you remain useful (watch out once you become expendable though, as Bob Packwood found out). And that's precisely the point Ann made, well supported with evidence.

I think the point of the post is that the liberal media will look the other way about personal failings if the "convert" makes his mea culpas about his previous conservative positions sufficiently loud and contradictory.

In this case, the theory goes, they suppress the news about the arrest since he is parroting their political line.

Doesn't matter...more people tune into internet than CNN...

My Mom used to have a bumber sticker on her truck..."More people smoke than voted for Bill Clinton". maybe this is why they are trying to ban smoking, so they can change this possibility...I don't know...same paradigm I think though...

Anyway, I'm glad to see this guy exposed though...liberal media will now have to backtrack to repair from damaged goods.

That would support the theory. He has immunity as far as the media is concerned.

They like him. He could drive a car off a bridge with a blonde in the back seat. It wouldn't matter.
