That is a purely partisan sentiment because, much like in the IRS case, the players in this drama who are stage Left have come to learn over the course of five years that the press has given them a blank immunity from actually giving answers to questions that are uncomfortable to the Left. It is your perception that it is a witch hunt, but it is not mine for several disturbing trends are at work in both of these cases, not to mention Treyvon Martin and Dr. Gosnell, or to go back a little bit, Dr. Gosnell.
If we learned nothing from the Scooter Libby incident, it is that reporters salivate over the thought of getting Republicans, fact-finding to the nth degree and speaking truth to power, but when their party does it (and survey after survey has shown that especially the national press votes 90% Democratic) then they tend to go after those who wish to report the truth, find the facts, and hold power accountable.
If this were George W. Bush, most of you would be screaming bloody murder about plastic turkeys and banners with messages, real important shit that got no one killed or sent the clear and totally understandable message to those at war with us, we are not at war with you, we are at war with ourselves.
Shorter AJ: We haven't had a scandal in a long time, and we will not be denied our scandal! Facts be damned!
