Ignore that Democrat Scandal behind the Curtain

From ABP: (excuse me while I yawn, this is demonstrated so often) Nevertheless, the Larry Craig story demonstrates once again that the national media is obsessed with sex and Republican scandals, but dirty money and Democrats doesn’t interest them in the least.
