Harry the Extortionist

From Boortz this morning. So true:

Imagine if this had happened during the Clinton administration, Trent Lott had issued an ultimatum to Bill Clinton: give us access to secret national security documents or else Bill Richardson will not be confirmed as UN Ambassador. In fact, imagine if Lott even made the statement: "no documents, no Richardson."

The Democrats, the media and other assorted leftist groups would be outside the Senate with pitchforks, demanding Lott's head on a platter. The Republican party would be derided as obstructionist, unreasonable and "dangerous." The story would not go away. It would be front page for days and days.

Yet, that's exactly what's happening today .. but the players are reversed. Senate Minority Leader (or as he likes to say "Democratic Leader," as if it makes him sound more important) Harry Reid is demanding the White House hand over records of communications intercepts from the National Security Agency. Now keep in mind that Bolton's nomination has cleared the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. It's time for an up-or-down vote. But Democrats, fearing he might win and wanting to stick it to George Bush, aren't letting the vote take place.

Said Harry Reid: "You can't ignore the Senate. We've told them what we've wanted. The ball is in his court. If they want John Bolton as ambassador to the United Nations, give us this information. If they don't, there will be no Bolton."

The worst part? The media is letting him get away with it. More good old-fashioned media bias. Don't you love it?

How about the response if the leader of the RNC made some comments simular to what Dean has been saying????

The double standard is there for all to see

it will be because we destroyed ourselves."
