Corrolation does not equal causation.
The "outrage" here is over Spitzer. Not anything that happened (or, possibly, didn't happen) in Alabama. Do I think it's possible the DoJ has targeted prominent Democrats? I'll go farther and say that they probably did. Did those Democrats break any laws? Again, they probably did. Should the DoJ be going after more Republicans? Yes.
But this is about Spitzer. He broke the law. He pissed a lot of powerful people off. When they got the chance to hit him back, they did. And you know what? They were right to do so. Again, he broke the law. It sucks to be him.
Personally, I'd just as soon treat all elected officials with the same level of respect across the board. That means that I assume that they aren't dirty until I see a reasonable amount of proof or hard facts. There are folks on this board, on both the left and the right, that assume that the other side is dirty just because it's the other side. I refuse to play that game.
