Showdown: Weiner vs. Palin

  What a difference between the treatment of Weinergate and Palin's bus tour.
  Weiner has now pretty much admitted he has taken some pictures like the one that was tweeted. 
  When asked if the pic was of his tweeter, he replied that he could not say with certitude. What does that mean? 
  If he were sure, he'd say no. He's not sure, therefore we can infer that pictures like it have been taken.
  The press is sorta giving up on actually defending him just now, until the truth comes out when they can circle the wagons and act like it's just about sex and therefore unimportant because it's a Democrat, and not about matters of national security and predatory behavior on the part of yet another politician, however liberal.
  Meanwhile Palin is off running around the country on a bus tour while the press complains that she's treating them like paparazzi and it's become quite a dangerous situation because they have to follow her in their cars, like puppy dogs waiting for dinner.
  So they have to resort to claiming her tour is illegal or something because she has a flag painted on the side of it and that ain't right because there are strict federal codes about using the flag for "profit."
  Um, maybe they haven't seen the hats, t-shirts, bags, potholders, neckties, key chains, car emblems, notepads, bookmarks, cd covers, drink stirrers, beach towels...need I go on?
  This video is particularly amusing and revealing.

  A bus versus a crotch photo.
  A flag versus a denial.
  Hm.
