It’s also stunning for my old friend EJ to say that “Obama has been put through the journalistic wringer since he entered the public spotlight four years ago.”

Really? Did I miss the 60 Minutes report on Obama’s relationship with unrepentant terrorist Bill Ayers? The New York Times investigation into the deals Obama made with convicted felon Tony Rezko? The Dateline look at ACORN and what “community organizers” really do?

Dick Cheney has been put through the journalistic wringer. For Barack Obama it’s been more like a journalistic shampoo, facial and massage.
