Rove Attacks!

With the Republican corruption scandals spiraling out of control, spin master Karl Rove and his media minions have begun a counter attack on the Democrats. Spoken in the same newscast breath with the indictments, convictions, and ethics violations of Delay, Cunningham, Ney, Foley, et al. are the admonishments of Sen. Harry Reid. You make the call. Which is more pernicious an ethics violation - money laundering of millions, taking bribes of millions to influence legislation, sexual predation of children, or tipping workers at a convention. The $3,000 over three years that Reid paid out of his campaign funds as gratuities is not enough to cover one night's comped meals for Rove at Abramoff's Signature restaurant. An uninformed viewer will look at the news cast and think the Democrat's violations are just as bad. As usual, big corporate media which supports the Republican war machine, will give each violation equal air time while some are much more egregious than others.
