According to the leading "conservatives" in the nation:

It is "criminalizing politics" to investigate war crimes committed by Americans, or who ordered torture, who outed a CIA agent for political reasons, and who fired US Attorneys unless they would prosecute prominent Democrats. That's just "politics as usual."

However, when a Democrat offers another Democrat an unpaid service job if he'll run for re-election in the House and not run for election in the Senate, that's a huge scandal, requiring reviving the "independent counsel" law, and (if they're lucky) years of getting Chris Matthews to talk about how something "doesn't smell right."

Think Obama has figured out the double standard yet?
