(L.A. Times) — The most specious (and probably predictable) reaction to the unfolding scandal imperiling the presidential aspirations of New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie is a silly attempt at misdirection by whiny conservatives who complain that journalists ignored the Obama administration’s Benghazi and IRS “scandals” but have jumped all over Christie.
Because he is a Republican.
I don’t know where this fake talking point first originated — my guess is Fox News — but my in-box has been full of emails from readers asking, as one did: “So how does Benghazi impact Clinton? Does this mean she’ll never be president?”
Another suggested, “Maybe you could really cut your teeth on much more serious matters like Benghazi and the IRS targeting of conservative groups.”
And maybe you people could start paying attention.
