Media Hypocrisy, Yet Again

The media has been reporting on the comments of Australian Prime Minister John Howard today about Barack Obama and the Democrats, with not one ounce of criticism:

"If I were running al-Qa'ida in Iraq, I would put a circle around March 2008 and be praying as many times as possible for a victory not only for Obama but also for the Democrats"

I remember a few months back, Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez made comments calling President Bush the devil, and he was pulverized by the American media.

At least Obama's campaign people seem to have backbones (so far); an Obama spokesman fired back at the Prime Minister's comments calling them: "cowboy rhetoric."
