Anyone listen to Scarborough on "Morning Joe" this morning It's just business as usual. The Democrats have been doing it all along, but the NYTimes never did a study on liberal bias.

They don't want to tell "law and order" Republicans that the Dear Leader's administration is full of criminals! You know, it's only a scandal if a DEMOCRAT is involved. Republicans get a pass every time. Faux News.... always lives up to its name. Why is this a surprise?
