Elizabeth Dole

Need another reason to disbelieve the myths about a "liberal" media or the liberal bias in government? Take Elizabeth (Liddy) Dole. Arguably, she's a tougher, more powerful Hillary Clinton. But does she ever suffer the derision leveled at Clinton? Nope. Dole is a U.S. Senator, wife of a powerful politician. So is Clinton. Liddy Dole's husband (Bob Dole) had a sex scandal. So did Clinton's. (The difference here is that Liddy lobbied to keep -- and was succussful at keeping -- her husband's scandal out of the media). As far as the stereotype of "riding her husbands political coat tails for her own gain" goes, the two women should be evenly matched. But I never hear anyone railing against "that bitch Dole", like they do against Clinton. Maybe I should start. =)

So what's the difference between these two women that earns one the hatred of the masses and the other little negative attention at all? I'd wager it's their political leanings. The attack dogs of the Conservative Reich would never bite one of their own. So who's really in control? The "liberal" media that never reported on Bob Dole's sex scandal (and those of many other prominent Conservatives) or the Conservative Reich that raised the issue of lying about a blow job to the level of High Crime?
