To the mainstream media, there is a difference between Democrats and Republicans so vast that it requires different standards of reporting. In the case of sexual misconduct the media treats the story differently depending upon the party affiliation of the miscreant. Barney Frank’s live-in boyfriend ran a homosexual whore house out of Barney’s house, but the press just smiled. And we are all aware of the peccadilloes of the Kennedys, Bill Clinton and many others of a Democratic persuasion whose activities were covered by the press with a wink and a nod. But let a Republican slip off the reservation once, we never hear the end of it..

 

 

Bill Clinton was a scalawag

A charming, roguish imp

He lined the women ‘gainst the wall

And left them feeling limp

And JFK we will recall

Had White House full of whores

And laughed as we all chuckled at

His claim they’re just on tours

Now Lucy Mercer lived upstairs

But no one did object

The press protected FDR

By being circumspect

And everyone just shook their heads

And laughed and said that’s cool

When Wilbur Mills and Fanne Foxe

Jumped in the Tidal Pool

John Edwards, we all know that song

Ted Kennedy as well

The press would always look away

No story there to tell

Yet should a GOP guy try

The very self same thing

The headlines and the anchor screams

Would make the welkin ring
