Comments on: Dual Standards http://chicagoboyz.net/archives/6221.html Some Chicago Boyz know each other from student days at the University of Chicago. Others are Chicago boys in spirit. The blog name is also intended as a good-humored gesture of admiration for distinguished Chicago boys including those pictured above.

The same media that has ignored Obama's ties to Rezko, Ayers, <i>et al.</i> will ignore any other scandals that arise. They count on it. Unfortunately for the Dems and the media, the MSM can no longer control the narrative. Here's an illustration: Search Google News for 'Obama Rezko' (with no quotes) and you'll get 2531 hits. Querry all of the intertubes and you get 1,530,000 hits. Like a cat hiding under a thin bedspread they're not fooling anyone but themselves. Why should the Democrats worry?

I spend way too much time pondering how it is that Democrats apparently <i>don't</i> know these things. <i>How</i> could they not know these things? How? Hoooowww??? When the media do eventually cover the stories, how do they nevertheless end up down that rabbit hole? I don't get how the Democrat side claims that <i>it</i> is the victim of unfair treatment in the public sphere. How?! Rhetorical question. Sigh. I’m in a bubble, I know – because I know these things.

People tend to self-select (to the extent conditions allow) themselves into professions/careers most congenial to their personality types. We conservatives will just have to grind our teeth and realize that it will always be an uphill slog as the conservative mind-set/personality-type does not easily lend itself to the news profession.
