Do those from the conservative end of the spectrum get more coverage and criticism than those from the left? Sure. There isn't much question that the mainstream media leans to the left. But does that mean that we should all get our shorts in a knot over what one of the looney tunes politicians from either political persuasion does? Or over the fact that the media, who leans one way, tilts their reporting to make the folks leaning the other way look bad? Not as far as I'm concerned.

Sorry, I can be disappointed that people in elected office can act so irresponsibly...even reprehensibly. But am I getting all exorcised over the reported events? Not even for a moment.
I agree VK, but there would be a national media uproar demanding the resignation of a Republican Assemblyman by the New York Times, The L.A. Times and similar venues in similar circumstances.

I would even support that, and I think the same should happen in this instance.
