We're seeing the same media strategy that was applied to damage-control the Clinton scandals, namely, "it's all about sex." Not perjury, not obstruction of justice, not witness tampering, not abuse of power, not illegal Chinese campaign money. Nope. It's all about sex. And Ritter, the child molester, liar and turncoat, has the gall, the crowning arrogance to call for George Bush's impeachment.
Even Taliban Johnny isn't considered a "traitor" in the press. What does someone need to do to betray his country these days? The press didn't leave Tim McVeigh's actions on his shoulders, they tried to play him off as a victim of circumstance whipped up into a frenzy by "right wing radio".
Without a moral compass and some definitions set in stone, no one will ever be judged for acting against America.
