From the mouths of conservatives

By Libby

I posted at Detroit News yesterday about McCain's questionable bundler, Harry Sargeant III, owner of an oil-trading company who is currently under investigation by Congress over the almost billion dollars in no-bid contracts he was awarded by the Pentagon. Surprisingly, even Marc Ambinder notices the hands-off policy of the elite media on McCain's dicey fundraisers.

If there were a group of questionable donations all with the name Abdullah, that were funneled through a guy in Jordan, who is a Jordanian national, who is under investigation for war profiteering, and it were Barack Obama, instead of John McCain, would this be a bigger deal?

They barely mention it in passing but you can sure we will be treated to non-stop coverage of the 'vital' story of John Edwards tawdry affair. As if who Edwards screws is more important than McCain's grand plan to screw us all over in favor of the interests of Big Oil.
