Now that ABC News has the list of phone numbers given to them by the "Washington Madam," the question is: Whose names will they publicize if they find out that there are public figures whose phone numbers are among those they have?
Let us suppose, just for the sake of argument, that these names include Karl Rove and Ted Kennedy. Are both names equally likely to be revealed?
And, if only one of these names is revealed, do you have any serious doubt which one the liberal media will reveal?
That is the problem with Washington scandals. In fact, the very definition of a "scandal" by the media differs radically, according to who is involved. That is a bigger scandal than any particular scandal the media report.
Before the Washington Madam surfaced, the big scandal in town was the Bush administration's firing of eight U.S. Attorneys. But it was not a scandal, as far as the media were concerned, when Bill Clinton fired every single U.S. Attorney in the country.
I commented on this HERE. So far, ABC has "outed" two Republicans. I suggested that Democrats don't have sex outside of marriage ... except for Bill Clinton (and oral sex is not really sex, right Bill?)
