And she's right.
On her show Thursday night, she said:
"Democrats have not only refused to hold Republicans accountable for the double standard, but they have joined with Republicans in piling on with the demands that Anthony Weiner had to resign even as David Vitter stays in the Senate."
Unlike Republicans, who close ranks around such an issue, Democrats turn on their own.
"Anthony Weiner, who was not accused of corruption, who does not appear to have done anything illegal, who does not even appear to have had sex with any of the women with any of the people with whom he had scandalous talk and picture-taking, for him a line was drawn."
So let me just reiterate - Congressman Athony Weiner has resigned for even though it currently appears he did nothing illegal.
Republican Senator David Vitter broke the law - fucking hookers - and still has his job.
"The media covering the media ending a man's career."
Of course, from the media's perspective, that makes the story that much better. And of course, Republicans once again expertly "worked the ref" while the Democrats flailed about like beheaded chickens.
"Congratulations, Democrats. In an era of unhinged, ideological, big money conservative media that is wholly and admittedly divorced from the precepts of journalism, in hounding Anthony Weiner into resigning ... you have just fed and unleashed this beast onto yourselves, probably for a generation."
And she's right.
