Doug,

I had almost completely ignored this story until today. Limbaugh read an entire AP story by Chet Brokaw, just so he could dramatically point out the fact that Brokaw didn't identify Sutton's party affiliation until the 19th and last paragraph.

It is indeed quite a contrast with the major media stories about Congressman Foley a few months ago. (By the way, Rush invariably refers to Congressman William Jefferson as "William Jefferson, Democrat Louisiana".)

The Sutton AP story is at

John,
Interesting.. I guess to South Dakotans reading and writing about this, even if the fact Sutton was a Democrat had NEVER been mentioned here, everybody in SD would know he was a Democrat because SD legislature would not be investigating this if he were Republican. Kind of an oversight based on assumed knowledge. Just looked at my posts here and not sure I mentioned that Sutton is a DEMOCRAT either.

Now, if Rush will just read a story about the $750,000 that REPUBLICAN Roger Hunt moved around to eliminate transparency on donor, etc., I guess we will know Rush is not completely off balance.

Of course, it may also just be that Rush just loved the whole story so much he just had to read the whole thing and needed at least the semblance of an excuse to get something on that did not involve death and destruction in Iraq.

Unlike Foleygate which involved a REPUBLICAN, this case apparently had no incriminating e-mail even if one of the Wiese witnesses did claim that he kept notes on everything and hid them under and behind furniture and could not find them now.

Story has given papers here an opportunity to make their front pages look like grocery store tabloids. They have not yet however used it as an excuse to post pictures of male and female genitalia diagramed and labeled just to note the differences in "paragraph 19".
