The Dept. of Double Standards, ctd.

Pete Wehner lists, in great length, the various ways in which the president prior to this one was slandered and the silence it prompted from the media:

I believe that Representative Joe Wilson crossed that line and that what he did was wrong, and I’m glad he apologized. But many Democrats—far more prominent and influential than Joe Wilson—repeatedly crossed that line during the Bush years and went beyond what Wilson said, often in premeditated ways, and in almost every instance no apology was issued afterward. Yet the press did not much care about decorum during the pre-Obama presidency. It does now.

Good, exhaustive stuff.
