In my view there is a pretty big difference between the instances of Weiner and Sanford. In Sanford's case, as clumsy as it unfolded, he cheated on a woman he loved, one who he is engaged to. For him, it was a situation of betrayal for love. In Weiner's case, he was texting photos of his body parts to women he didn't know. His situation was more of a perverted nature. Sanford did something that is becoming more and more socially "acceptable", which is he simply cheated. What weiner did on the other hand was just creepy. Your regular run of the mill sort of cheating can be overcome more easily than creepy texting of body parts to unknown women.

That was an opinion piece from a conservative columnist....Having said that, WAPO has had a few editorials (which is more of a reflection of the views of the paper than an opinion piece) that have come out criticizing the handling of the Obama administrations response and changing narratives regarding some of the scandals.

I have no sympathy for them whatsoever.

Yes, I could totally see the NyTimes defending the Bush's appointed DOJ for doing the same.

It's full damage control time.... Regarding the DOJ scandal, Asking schumer to pass the Journalist Shield legislation: Check Regarding Benghazi, releasing the W.H emails: Check Regarding the IRS, forcing the IRS chief to resign: Check

IRS Chief Miller resigns.

It's always MY fault

Let those !@#$ers fend for themselves. If someone wants to intervene, fine, allow Europe or Turkey to do it, but we should play virtually no role other than a humanitarian one.

That simply isn't gonna fly.

Not sure if that will surface. However, I found this to be interesting. http://www.cnn.com/2013/05/14/politics/irs-conservative-targeting/index.html?hpt=hp_t1 Now these details don't absolutely rule out what it was that you were saying, but it certainly weakens that argument. For one, we are talking about multiple offices were targeting conservative groups. Secondly, when they revised the original search criteria of "tea party" and "patriots", they then revised it to "political action-type organizations involved in limiting/expanding government, educating on the Constitution and Bill of Rights, social economic reform/movement." We know that the new criteria certainly implies that they are searching for conservative groups, if it was an honest mistake, they would of at least included along with the original or secondary criteria with key words such as "progressive", "middle class tax fairness and reform" or whatever key words that would smoke out any progressive groups. The searches were done exclusively to target conservatives.

The NAACP is a shadow of what it use to be...

We haven't heard of one left-leaning group that has come out saying that they were targeted. You have tea party groups, people who advocated for lower taxes, who "educated" people on the constitution, NOM, and even hawkish Jewish groups that were all targeted. In other words, all right-leaning groups. If there was a arguably disproportionate number of conservative groups relative to liberal groups, MAYBE I could possibly see that as the case, however, considering that the disproportionality is100% to 0%. Not to mention that now we have heard that it not only came from the divisions hub in Ohio, but now from California and DC as well. I simply don't buy it.

This is above and beyond anything that the Bush administration ever did, in respect to this topic. I believe just about any journalist would agree with this.

Make no mistake, this was all about the DOJ/W.H intimidating investigative reporters and whistleblowers.

Usually laying down with my eyes closed.

Ya, on the Republicans.

Great to see that Rogers had an exceptional day.

Monsanto Wins! Convincingly
