Children of Politicians

First off, let me say that I have always held the belief that unless they are putting themselves into the limelight, children of the famous should be left alone. I don't like seeing children of politicians being dragged through the slime by their opponents. I have always tried to steer clear of commenting on Chelsea Clinton, unless she was campaigning for her parents, which is a different story. I am not going to say anything about the Obama girls, they are just too young.

This has never stopped the lefties. The media has acted like sharks in a feeding frenzy when it comes to the Bush twins or Sarah Palin's children. That has always shown a lack of class on the part of the attackers.

Having qualified all of that, this post will address some stories concerning political children. I am trying to focus more on the way the stories are covered, and not the stories themselves. So, please do not get the idea I am out to get anyone's daughter.

Joe Biden's daughter has allegedly been caught on video snorting cocaine, after her father became Vice President. The press has mostly treated this story like a hot potato, with the vast majority of the stories condemning those who would report the story.

Let's compare this to the treatment the Bush twins received from the media. How about this, or this, for a total lack of class? I could find no mention of Biden's daughter on either site.

This site will sell you T shirts denigrating the daughters. Strange, no Obama or Biden shirts to be located.

This page contains page of jokes about Bush girls. Did a search for jokes about Biden’s daughter, only came up with jokes about Palin’s daughter and McCain’s daughter. Nope, no bias here.

This page did address the story on Biden's daughter. It contains these lines.

“However, the video is unlikely to undermine his position with President Obama. Mr Obama admitted in his own memoir that he had used marijuana and cocaine - but not heroin - as a youth.”

“This month Mr Biden swore in a new US drug czar, Gil Kerlikowske, whose stepson has a history of marijuana arrests.”

Ohhhhh, so now it’s OKAY to have children who do drugs. No big deal, like it was a couple of years ago.

Here's an unintentionally hilarious site that tries to take the high moral ground that children are off limits and it’s the GOP’s fault for going after Biden’s daughter. You just know that neither the author nor any of their friends ever, ever said anything bad about the Bush or Palin children.

More attacks on the people who dared report the existence of the video of Biden’s daughter snorting cocaine. Typical leftie behavior. NOW they’re upset over children of politicians being scrutinized. They used to be upset over such things, but it hasn't really bothered them since...oh, about January of 2001.

This idiot takes all of 3 seconds to make the leap from Biden’s daughter to claiming the proven-to-be-lies rumors about Palin’s daughter are stone hard facts. What a maroon.

I truly disliked even posting the links to these despicable sites. However, I felt it necessary to prove the disparity between the treatments of the Bush girls, the Palin children, and Ms. Biden.

Again, I would just as soon none of these reports were made. I feel they have proven my point on the ever-growing bias in the media.
