Suppose evidence was uncovered that a Republican congressperson – no one in a leadership, just a Republican congressperson – was accused of making an overt offer to sell his/her vote for personal gain.  How fast do you think the media would be on top of it?

Now, what about if the congressperson were in a leadership position – say, head of the Republican National Committee?  You can almost hear the howls of indignation, right?

Ok, now what about if the congressperson in question had a “D” instead of an “R” after his/her name?  

On this one we don\’t have to do a hypothetical, folks.   Marc Caputo of  (usually Democrat-friendly) politico.com, reported, yesterday, that Debbie Wasserman Schultz, a Democrat congressperson from Florida – and head of the Democrat National Committee, not to mention a possible Senate candidate for the seat currently held by Republican Marco Rubio – offered to change her position on medical marijuana if  Orlando Trial Lawyer, John Morgan – a major Democrat donor – would recant his criticism of her.

What is your reaction to this?  Something along the lines of SAY WHAT? 

Well, you read it correctly.  That is what the accusation is.  And it is being made by a usually Democrat-friendly site with a claim that it has the emails to back it up.

According to Caputo:

Theproposal to Orlando trial lawyer John Morgan was straightforward:retract critical statements he made to a reporter in return forWasserman Schultz publicly backing his cannabis initiative that shehad trashed just months earlier. Morgan declined the offer with asharp email reply sent to a go-between, who described thecongresswoman as being in a “tizzy.”

“No,”Morgan responded. “She is a bully. I beat bullies up for a living.”

WassermanSchultz declined to comment.

Asking again:  what would the media reaction be if this were a Republican?

Well I can tell you what it is for Debbie “D”

Keep in mind that Marc Caputo\’s article was posted at 7:10PM last night – more than enough time for it to be on every media web site.  But  I just googled “Debbie Wasserman Schultz John Morgan medical marijuana”. And on the first three pages? No NBC. No ABC. No CBS. No New York Times. No LA Times. No Washington Post…..

…..getting the idea?

A bunch of generally conservative web sites are all over this. But mainstream media? They are doing the see no evil – hear no evil – speak no evil routine on Ms. Wasserman Schultz\’s behalf.

That, folks is The Power Of The “D”.

And, yes, these are the same media who squeal like stuck pigs if you call them biased.
