The Lame Plame thing was the biggest hoax ever told by the DNCmedia. Very successful even though it was a lie.
The media is responsible for this IRS misuse as much as the POS they put in the white house. They elected him, twice, so they have to protect him. Even when the whitehouse began producing their own news, a province of the private media, they did not complain. Obvisously it made their job of pandering that much easier.
Leaking by a Democratic administration, on the other hand, is OK, whether it is to damage Linda Tripp or any critic of Obama.
