Man, you are deeply committed to the worst possible interpretation of anything anyone has to say. I didn't say what you're saying I said;
you added that. By and large, human beings are blind to their own interpretive process, and I invite you to consider that you're no exception. I know I'm not--and knowing that allows me to (occasionally) catch myself and short-circuit my automaticity.
EDIT: I apologize if the above sounds condescending--it's just that I keep having the experience of talking to a mobius strip that torques my words out of all shape and pushes them back at me.

Your premise, as I understand it, is that there's a double-standard and that Democrats are getting away with something here. I'm saying there's a low standard across the board, and that while it's possible that these Democrats might get away with something, on the whole, Republicans have gotten away with a WHOLE lot more. Especially during their period of congressional domination in the early-to-mid '00s. I'm not tarring the whole party, here; I'm talking about individuals. But I think it's clear the GOP is denser with such individuals than the Democratic party, and I think you'd have a hard time arguing the contrary.
