Here's why Republicans live in a different world from the rest of us.
The NY Post has a striking headline today: "'We want the truth. Nothing but the truth, so help us God.' COME CLEAN." Is this about the pack of lies Alberto Gonzales has been feeding Congress? Of course not. It's about NY State Senate Majority Leader Joseph Bruno, a Republican, calling for "multiple investigations into the role of [Democratic] Gov. Spitzer and his top aides in an unprecedented dirty-tricks campaign." Gonzales's testimony merits no coverage at all. In fact, his name hasn't been mentioned in the paper, according to a search of the NY Post site, since June 11, when a two paragraph story said Bush was shrugging of Congress's no-confidence vote about Gonzales.
Here's another word that hasn't been mentioned in 30 days in relation to the Bush Administration: contempt. Some more: perjury, Miers, Bolton. So what has the Post been focusing on? See below.
Here are today's headline's for the Post's "National News":
