Sorry, Sen. Obama, eight isn't enough

"Guys, I mean come on. I just answered like eight questions."

With those few words, Barack Obama ended a Texas news conference where he
had come under tough questioning about influence peddler Tony Rezko from
Sun-Times columnists Carol Marin and Lynn Sweet and CBS2 reporter Mike
Flannery. In fact, Obama dodged the questions.

Try to imagine President Bush, fleeing questions coming at him fast and furious over a controversy, closing a news conference by saying, "Come on, I just answered like eight questions." Democrats in Congress and liberal interest groups would be shouting coverup. The editorial pages of the national newspapers would be thundering outrage. The late night comedians and left-wing blogs would be heaping ridicule on him.

1. Good on the Sun-Times!

Nothing truly critical of the Anointed One like this piece ever gets into the estimable New York Times. Only Paul Krugman and Stanley Fish remain as worthy reads in that rag anymore.
