Like beauty it is in the brain of the listener (actual meaning: complete and
utter balderdash).

Not really.  Fox is happy to jump on any politician equally.  This is
what makes me laugh when I see/hear people complain that Fox is
"conservative" or "a republican mouthpiece."  The only reason it appears
this way is that most of the media is so slanted to the left, one gets
shocked to hear that Democrat politicians screw up at least as much as
the Republicans.

Hypothetically (which is how you make the assertion below) the converse
could be said of Fox, et al?

He's a Democrat.

Remember, you are reading the New York Times.  If something shameful
happens to a politician, the NYT times rules are as follows:

If it makes the person look bad AND the party is Democrat do not mention
party affiliation and soften the blow.
If it makes the person look bad AND the party is Republican, gloat about
the party affiliation, place it in the headline (for example, the NYT
story would have read: Republican Gov. Mc Greevey Resigns after
Homosexual Affair is revealed.)

Look for continuing obfuscation on the news this evening.
