Those Easily Scandalized Democrats

Don Surber attempts to show what a scandal isn't.

The New York Times lead editorial today tries to explain “Why This Scandal Matters.”

A true scandal should be self-evident and need no explanation.

The firing of a few will-and-pleasure employees by the Bush administration is routine. But it is another in a series of faux scandals dreamed up by desperate Democrats who are the sorest losers in American history.

It began with the lie that Bush somehow stole the election in Florida. Al Gore was allowed to drag this nation’s electoral process through the mud by an anti-Republican media, led by the oafs at the New York Times. An unprecedented recount by the media proved Bush won. It made the back pages of the Times.

Where is the apology to the nation from Gore?

Where is the apology from the New York Times?

Next was the auto pen “controversy.” The New York Times tried to create a scandal because some crook in jail received an invite to the inauguration.

Next was Vice President Dick Cheney’s “secret” negotiations with energy companies over an energy bill. The Sierra Club and others sued in court to try to get papers turned over regarding the meetings.

Next was Sen. Robert C. Byrd slamming the president for failing to take the lead on the Kyoto Protocols. This is the same Robert C. Byrd who sponsored the anti-Kyoto resolution that passed 95-0 in the Senate when Clinton was president.

Next was the Enron scandal. Bush’s critics swore up and down that Ken Lay would never be tried. Well he was tried and convicted and sentenced — for things he did on Bill Clinton’s watch.

Apology?
