Do you suppose that some rational Democrats, (I assume there are a few
around), saw such childish, moronic behavior as embarassing to their
cause, and chose to ignore it?


I don't know why the press ignored it. Perhaps the Washington press corp
was afraid to offend a new president, perhaps the press thought it best to
supress news like this because it was best that we put a contentious
election behind us and "move on", maybe its even the reasoning you've
twisted up above (the only time I can recall that you've ever accused the
"left-wing" press of restraint). In any case, its not the press's
responsibility to filter news, other than for veracity. They report it, we
interpret it.


Grow up Scott.



George, even though there are clearly strong feelings on both sides of the
election that just passed (or is this a process that passed for an
election?) I try to keep my discourse noninflammatory, at least on a
personal level, and I'm sorry you choose not to do the same.

I'll ask you the same question I asked Tim. Did you see this footage? If
you did, perhaps you'd understand why I'm upset and shocked by the fact
that news coverage was so shielded. If you didn't, perhaps you should
consider reserving comment.
