Molegate
By Texas Rainmaker on Media Bias
I find it downright hilarious that the MSM is making such a big deal about Laura Bush’s choice not to make a grand public spectacle about her having a discolored mole removed from her leg.
Why, you ask?
Because this is the same MSM that tried to tell us for years that a President having an adulterous affair with a member of his staff in the White House is a private matter.
Keep that “standard” in mind when you read the transcript of this press conference (video & transcript linked below).
<<< Q And she didn’t feel any obligation as a person of public status to talk about this?
MR. SNOW: No, again, there are any number of — this is a room full of public people who tend not — and I know you say, wait a minute, I’m different than the First Lady. Well, no, she’s a private citizen. And the fact is, she is entitled to her medical privacy. And, again, it’s no big deal. In this case, it’s just not a big deal.
Q May I follow on that? The President is also a private citizen, as well as being the President. So —
MR. SNOW: Well, he’s an elected official. It’s different.
Q He’s an elected official and a private citizen. You can make the same claims of a number of people who have public lives. Mrs. Bush has made herself part of this party and this White House’s very public face. So my question is, if this were to be something that is a big deal, would the White House feel obliged to share that with the public?
MR. SNOW: I don’t know. She didn’t feel obliged, and she believes that she has the same medical privacy rights that you and I have. >>>
