» While conservatives understandably are exercised about the apparent double standard of Wanda Sykes filleting Limbaugh while Obama sat by grinning (what if it had been a Republican president and a liberal being attacked?), we should also try to imagine how conservatives would react to a liberal former VP enjoying his retirement by attacking the sitting conservative president. Well, we don't have to imagine. In today's article skewering Cheney, Dowd gives several examples of how conservatives responded in similar situations when the tables were turned. So, which way do I prefer it? I guess I'd lean towards everyone feeling free to speak their minds...but let's have some consistency. Don't freak out over a conservative making a joke in poor taste if you don't do the same when a liberal does it. Don't freak out about a liberal ex-leader criticizing the actions of a sitting president if you don't do the same when a conservative does it.
