no, the media is just harder on them......

the "liberal media" is a total myth......

by the way, al gore sponsered the bill which got government funding of the internet for the first time.....allowing it to become what it is....most republicans were against him when he argued how important the internet would become......

How could you even say that Democrat's make more career destroying gaffees than Republicans do with all the negative attention the republican's have been getting for the past couple of years.

Example: Bush as our president (what a joke), Our vice president Cheney shot someone, Mark Foley sexual predator...

Enough Said...

No, both sides make them equally. But the mainstream media, with an 80%+ Democrat voting record, has a vested interest in ignoring the Democrat gaffes and beating the Republican ones to death.

Don't forget Quayle's potato(e) gaff. But then you get into the real idiots... Ted Kennedy, Mark Foley... I guess in any crowd, you're gonna have some goof-ups. (Especially if I'm in it)

They tend to make them on grander stages, I would say. There was a grain of truth to Gore's claim, but he backed down when the slime machine nailed him.

The "Macaca" comment was a Repub gaffe. The comments by Newt Gingrich lately wil come back to haunt him.

It's not that they make more gaffes, but when they do, it's usually pretty spectacular, and then they develope an attitude about it. They pretend that they didn't make a mistake, you misinterpreted what they said. Just look at that last beaut from Kerry and his response. "Everyone misunderstood me!?!"

I'm sure that there have been a number of Republicans who made an a** of themselves in public before.

Can you say "Dan Quayle" ?

I just asked Gingrich, Cunningham, Delay, Ney and Foley that same question, they said yes.

No, I think they are pretty equal. Politicians seem to be prone to bonehead actions. I guess we all are but theirs just stick out more.
