How quick will this story be buried by the MSM?

DHS Child Sex Sting Official Is A Democrat
Earlier today we listed some of the strong reaction to the arrest of Department of Homeland Security deputy press secretary Brian J. Doyle for attempting to arrange sexual relations with what he believed to be a 14-year-old female. Much of the reaction was critical of the Bush administration for not properly vetting one of their appointees. That assessment is dead wrong.
Brian Doyle is a career civil servant - NOT a political appointee. Government workers aren't "vetted." Doyle, as a DHS employee probably has a secret or top secret government clearance, but in DC that's hardly a unique commodity in DC. Unless there is some prior history of pedophilia or sex crimes, the background searches and investigation wouldn't have alerted anyone to the possibility that he might get into the kind of trouble he's in now. The kind of hindsight analysis suggesting that the White House should have been "vetting" the civil service employees of their agencies, is laughable considering that the Clinton administration who dogged for years over the FBI files scandal (Filegate). It's also probably illegal...
So what do we know about is Brian Doyle? He's a former Time magazine reporter, career civil servant, and a registered Democrat.
I'd already figured this out. Know how? Simple. The media swine never mentioned party affiliation.
On Fox last week, a chubby face nag got so mad when her opponent called McKinney a racist, she screamed out that the Homeland Security pervert was a Bush appointee.
I suspected he was a Democrat from the very beginning, when his political affiliation wasn't immediately reported by the MSM.
Good fine!
....MSM was trumpeting his arrest because they believed he would be perceived by the public somehow as part of the Bush Administration and connected to the Republican "culture of corruption."

For sure.
I don't think party affiliation should matter.

Of course, it doesn't matter. No one here is suggesting that we would forgive him if he was a Republican. The point is that the media seemed to be perfectly giddy over the fact that he was with Bush's DHS and, therefore, must be representative of the GOP. The fact that he is a Democrat will not be mentioned.

Thank you!
I've been taking care of the grandkids for the last few days,

Thank you, once again.
