Doubly Standard Procedure Watch: Democrats in Power

Isn't it amazing? Now that Democrats are in power, what a change in Washington:

FEMA failure during a weather related catastrophe that is happening right now. No problem.


Of course, when it was Katrina...It was Bush's fault. NOT.

Two of the president's cabinet picks failed to pay taxes to the tune of about $150,000 dollars (that we know of).


They get a pass.


To say nothing of Charles Rangel and Chris Dodd (google them yourself). Think Foxes whoring out the Henhouse.


There is so much DSP going on I don’t have time to capture it all. But it’s easy to see. Just ask, “If it was President Bush or a Republican who said or did this, what would the reaction of the press have been?”


Quick examples:


“If President Bush was meeting to discuss a major economic stimulus package with the Democrats, and he rebuffed their concerns by saying, ‘Hey, guys, I won,’ what would the press have said?”


“If a Republican nominee for Cabinet had failed to pay 100s of thousand of dollars in taxes, would he have been given a pass?”


Doubly Standard Procedure: it is the New True.
