Exactly. I distinctly remember Howard "Yipeee!!!!" Dean saying "This is a Republican scandal." Once the facts started to come out the liberals of the mainstream media buried the story QUICK.

No, it died away quickly because it is a scandal which embarrased the Republican party, therefore, it gets buried quickly.

If it had been something embarrasing to Democrats they'd have started one of those un-ending investigations immediately, and we'd still be hearing about it every day.
