Please don't crawl

The right wing noise machine is at it again. This time there target is Leon Panetta, who quite accurately stated that Cheney sounds like he wants the US to be struck by terrorists so he will be proved right. Perhaps not the most politic of statements, but certainly had the ring of truth. If you scan down headlines, all strangely from Fox, the read along the lines of McCain thinks Panetta should apologize, Panetta owes Cheney and apology, etc. Why is it that the right can say the most outrageous things, but no one calls them to account. Last night Letterman said that he had heard Mark Sheilds saying on the Jim Leher show that he had made an outrageous joke. Now you have Mistress Sarah saying that Letterman is a pervert and can't be trusted around young girls, but that is OK. But Mark Sheilds can waste time on an evening news program discussing a stupid joke by a late night comic. Just wait, there will be an increasing hue and cry over Panetta, but hopefully he will not crawl
