tpmmuckraker.talkingpointsmemo.com — A South Carolina paper has used a public records request to obtain emails sent to and from Gov. Mark Sanford's office during the hectic few days last month when he had gone missing. They show, among other things, an effort by the right-wing media to curry favor with Sanford's office by dismissing the story as nothing but liberal media hype.

The WSJ has turned in just another Rupert Murdoch fish wrapper. Really is too bad. It used to be a really good paper.

falconear, I disagree. When somebody makes a truly horrible joke, like Pat Buchanan's "I hope Levi Johnston gets drowned" comment, it's not funny and it's not acceptable. Of course somebody with a sharp tongue like Olbermann should get all over that. That kind of a joke shouldn't even be said aloud and deserves to be criticized harshly.

We liberals don't care so much about the infidelity. It's (1) the hypocrisy ("we conservatives are more moral than those sloppy liberals", and then whoops) and (2) the dereliction of duty (the guy didn't even let anyone in his staff know what the hell was going on while he ran off for days, much less properly transferred power to his subordinate).

Thank you falconear for realizing that Olbermann's demand for Limbaugh and Beck and others to be charged with treason is ridiculous. I'm not a fan of Rush, but he just made a joke and Olbermann comes on demanding the DHS(which he used to oppose) charge him with treason.

NorthMass: It IS ridiculous. Rush and the others are a bunch of assclowns, but taking them seriously is almost worst. It's like getting hit by an infant and demanding he be charged with assault. Now, Keith rightly points out evil statements at times and demands some payback - like the guy (a terrorism expert) who went on Glenn Beck the other day and said our best hope was for Osama to attack the U.S. so we'd get our acts together, and was SERIOUS! Olbermann called for the guy to lose his job, and rightly so. But harping on everything Rush says and demanding he be investigated, or resign, or whatever? Silly posturing. Now, like I said, this MAY be his form of sarcasm, of putting it back in their faces. But, if that's the case, he needs to be a little more overt in it.
