Giuliani & Kerik? What About Hillary Clinton and Norman Hsu?

Newsbusters spills the beans on more of that utter hypocrisy coming from your liberal press:

The CBS Evening News, which has aired only one full story on the scandal surrounding Hillary Clinton's fugitive donor Norman Hsu, on Friday night ran its second full story on the impact on Rudy Giuliani of Bernard Kerik's indictments as Byron Pitts told Kerik that “people” say you're “a poster child as to why Giuliani shouldn't be President.” Back on August 31, in the newscast's only full story on Hsu, fill-in anchor Harry Smith didn't even mention Hillary Clinton's name in his introduction, but on Friday Katie Couric put Giuliani front and center: “Kerik isn't the only one who could face trouble. It's also bad news for his friend and mentor, Republican presidential hopeful Rudy Giuliani.”

In the Hsu story, CBS reporter Sandra Hughes didn't warn about any negative impact on the Hillary Clinton campaign or speculate about what Hillary Clinton knew about Hsu's criminal past or suspect bundling. But in the Giuliani piece, Pitts predicted: “Kerik's legal problems could mean political problems for Giuliani and the inevitable questions of the presidential candidate: What did he know and when did he know it?” In an exchange with Kerik, Pitts proposed: “There are people who say that you, forgive me, are a poster child as to why Giuliani shouldn't be President, because of your own troubles.”

As I've made it clear here several time, I can't stand Rudy Giuliani and everything he stands for. I pray every day that he'll never be President. But what's fair is fair and liberals all across the map are big-time hypocrites for making a big deal out of Giuliani's relationship with Bernard Kerik while saying little to nothing about Hillary (and Bill) Clinton's relationship with Norman Hsu. Funny too because there's so much out there to attack about Rudy (race relations, exploiting his role in 9/11, adultery, etc.), I just don't see what Bernard Kerik (who most people outside of NYC barely know) did in his spare time has to do with Rudy's "character". Rudy doesn't dump his friends the minute they go through some bad times, that's called being loyal, an important characteristic of someone you call a "friend". I know that quite a few liberals think that Rudy might be Hillary's strongest foe, but Giuliani's relationship with Bernard Kerik is not going to have an effect on the average American voter.

Person of the Week: Dianne Feinstein

Age: 74

Birthplace: San Francisco, CA

Claim To Fame: Democrat Senator from California since 1992, first & only female mayor of San Francisco

Why She's Person of the Week: for choosing common sense over anti-Bush, left-wing zealotry. In casting her vote in favor of Michael Mukasey as the new Attorney General, Feinstein took a big risk in turning her back to her party's "Bush is Evil" wing. Feinstein was one of two Democrats on the Judiciary committee to vote for Mukasey's nomination, a huge hurdle that would later clear the way for Mukasey to become the country's 81th Attorney General, filling a spot cowardly vacated by Alberto Gonzales.

Not that there should've been any debate about Mukasey's nomination in the first place, because he is certainly qualified for the position of AG and considering all how demoralized the U.S. Justice Department has been of late, its long been in dire need of a leader. But liberal Democrats beholden to groups with blind hatred for anything Bush, tried to use the issue of waterboarding as a means to vote against Mukasey. Not that Mukasey supports waterboarding (which he himself referred to as "repugnant"), just that he refused to say if it was illegal which was his right. Mind you, despite international bans on waterboarding as a torture tactic, the U.S. Congress itself hasn't even voted to say it it illegal, but idiot liberals like Ted Kennedy demanded that Mukasey condemn it.

Feinstein said she was voting for Mukasey because "Mukasey has forged an independent path as a lawyer and federal judge. He has presided over 1,600 cases in almost 19 years on the bench. He has extensive experience on national security cases — Judge Mukasey's answers to hundreds of questions were crisp and to the point, and reflected an independent mind. That's why I intend to vote to confirm him to be our next attorney general. I truly believe he will be a strong advocate for the American people." Good to see a Democrat putting the interests of our people first instead of the interests of the loony Left.

Michael Jackson Quote of the Day!

"I don't pay attention to that. In my opinion, it's ignorance. It's usually not based on fact. ... Every neighborhood has the guy who you don't see, so you gossip about him. You see those stories about him, there's the myth that he did this or he did that. People are crazy!"

New Jersey Voters Say No To Stem Cell Research

NJ liberals applied typical bully tactics, but New Jersey voters just weren't having it:

New Jersey voters rejected the state‘s plan to borrow $450 million over 10 years to finance stem cell research, one of the most closely watched questions on state ballots Tuesday.

The multimillionaire governor (Jim Corzine) campaigned heavily for the measure and spent $200,000 of his own money on TV ads for it. He argued the money would help find cures for conditions such as spinal cord injuries, Parkinson‘s disease, sickle cell anemia and multiple sclerosis while also luring leading scientists and research firms to the state.

"It‘s a reinforcement of our values and a rebuke to the governor," said Steve Lonegan, a conservative Republican who led opposition to the question. "The taxpayers are saying enough is enough."

Congrats to the people in New Jersey, at least those who weren't duped by ads featuring Michael J. Fox begging them (a tactic that worked in Missouri last year) to approve a ballot initiative that would've okayed the use of living embryos for "experimentation". Again, embryonic stem-cell research has yet to produce one single cure for any disease, not one. It's nothing but a front for liberal special interests groups who, despite what the liberal press tells you, are moving along nicely regardless of the limits President Bush placed restrictions on stem-cell research six years ago.

Rapist Kelsey Peterson Appears In Court

Not so shocking if you've been paying attention:

EL CENTRO, Calif. (AP) — A Nebraska middle school teacher accused of running away to Mexico with a 13-year-old to have sex with him appeared in court Monday to face criminal charges.

Kelsey Peterson said nothing as charges that she crossed the border to have sex with a minor were read by U.S. Magistrate Judge Peter Lewis. The judge scheduled a hearing for Wednesday to ask whether Peterson would waive extradition to Nebraska.

Peterson's court-appointed attorney, Diane Regan, declined to comment after the court appearance.

Peterson, 25, was a sixth-grade math teacher and basketball coach at Lexington Middle School, and the boy was once her student.

The subject of a weeklong search, Peterson was taken into custody Friday in Mexicali, Mexico, after the boy's relatives told police he had called home asking for money. She was turned over to FBI agents early Saturday and is being held at the Imperial County jail in El Centro, about 120 miles east of San Diego.

Authorities in Mexico said the boy told police of vague but romantic plans with Peterson to scrap normal teenage life for a life of hiding in southern or central Mexico. Investigators have said they have recovered e-mails and letters in which they both express affection.

Peterson is charged in Nebraska with kidnapping, child abuse and contributing to the delinquency of a minor.

You see, female teachers raping male students is literally a growing epidemic, but the liberal press little to say about it. No studies. No special reports. Nothing. And why is that? Could it be because the idea of female rapists challenges the stereotypes of women as victims not perpetrators? Most likely. And what about the lenient sentences given to these female rapists? Can you imagine a male teacher having sex with a student and getting off with virtually Scot-free as we saw in the more recent cases of Debra LaFave and say, Joan Marie Sladky? But liberals will argue that "it's different" for the Kelsey Peterson's of the world because women can't rape men, coolly ignoring the fact that in Peterson's case the victim wasn't a man, but a 13-year-old boy. But for liberals it's never about the child, is it.

Maryland County To Allow Transgenered Men In Women's Bathrooms

The city of Montgomery County, Maryland is about to consider banning discrimination based on "gender identity." Among other things, it would become illegal to deny transgendered persons their choice of whether to use the men's or the women's public restroom:

Council lawmakers in Maryland's Montgomery County are considering a proposal to give transgendered people protected status under law, and a local citizen's group is pledging to try to stop it, contending that, among other things, it would allow transgender men to use showers, lockers, and restrooms used by women and girls. Bill 23-07 would add "gender identity" to the county's existing non-discrimination laws, if passed by the Montgomery County Council at its upcoming Nov. 13 meeting.

Michelle Turner, director of Citizens for a Responsible Curriculum (CRC), a parent's group in Rockville, Md., said the bill would basically allow males to have open access to women's restrooms. "I am dumbfounded," Turner told Cybercast News Service. "They are saying, 'If you are a man but you feel like a woman, then even if you still have male genitalia, you would have access to restrooms and locker rooms and showers used by women and girls."

So remember ladies, screw your privacy and safety (like the the risk of sexual predators invading your bathroom), after all this is about "progress", not you.
