The difference between right and left Blogtopia (™ Skippy)
Posted by Jill | 7:49 AM
Remember during the Tom DeLay fracas, when right-wing bloggers were falling all over themselves justifying DeLay's corruption and insisting that Ronnie Earle was just a partisan Democrat on a witch hunt?

Here on the left side of the blogosphere, we think accountability is for all. A sampling, in re the case of one William Jefferson, Democrat of Louisiana:

Atrios: "If true, lock him up."

Trent Dlugosh: "On this blog I have been very hard on Republican lawmakers who break the law. Now it's time to do the same when a Democrat goes bad.

Louisiana Representative William Jefferson needs to do the right thing and resign. The news this weekend is pretty amazing."

John Aravosis: "Can't say I feel sorry for the guy."

Matt Stoller at MyDD: "Having Democrats with ethical problems is a bad situation. Ethically challenged are weakened dramatically, since mostly everyone has leverage over them, including Republicans and journalists. They also weaken the party, since the entire leadership of the party must make a choice about whether to throw them under the bus or stand behind their ethical transgressions."

Pam: "It doesn't matter that this guy has a (D) behind his name, he's part of the festering, oozing sore of DC corruption."
