Big Journalism "You would hope the people of California might catch on to someone like Stark, but if nobody in the press reports on behavior like this, maybe it never happened. After all, if a clown falls in the forest and there’s nobody there to witness it, does he make a sound?"
Which leads us, naturally, to this: Gore: 'Come on, Baby, Release my Chakra' The comedians of the world are avoiding the Gore debacle like flies avoid vinegar.That's what we call selective coverage. If you're a liberal, you can literally get away with probable murder (Teddy Kennedy), rape (Bill Clinton), children out of wedlock (John Edwards), association with known racists and terrorists (Barack Obama), involvement with the mob (JFK), pimping out gay prostitutes from your apartment (Barney Frank) and membership in the KKK (Robert Byrd), so long as you believe in bigger government and less financial freedom. If you're a conservative, you get ousted for complimenting a racist on his 100th birthday (Trent Lott) or having a consensual affair (John Ensign, Mark Souder, etc.). That's not to say that Lott and Co. shouldn't have resigned -- it's just to say that if they'd been Democrats, they'd be sitting secure in their seats, their brows bound with victorious wreaths.
Portland police: We messed up the Gore sex investigation
Sex, Lies, and Al Gore "And there's Al Gore himself, a puffed up version of his former self. As the Green Messiah, his head has swelled as markedly as his girth. Gore dismisses any notion that the numbers around global warming have been cooked. When he recently testified before Congress, his contempt for mere mortals was evident."

How in the world did we get from Pete Stark to this?
