Indicted felon Rick Perry sees indictment as "political plus", but the mere rumour of a felony by

Mitch McConnell's campaign manager is grounds to resign in shame?

Indicted, felonious Governor versus indicted nobody no one even knows exists.

The media treatment of one and the media cone of silence over the other, what does common sense tell you about this?

One resigns in shame, little coverage, one thumps his chest and adjusts the I am not an idiot glasses, and the media rushes to his defence.

Really, how does that work? Is Perry like the Court Jester of yore, kept alive only because of the entertainment value, essentially indispensable to the system?

It is the felonious Governor that should be resigning in shame, not being coddled by a media shocked at the prospect of losing a willing and highly entertaining felonious Presidential Clown to plug into their entertainment news cycle.

Does being indicted raise the cable news entertainment and ratings value, is what the mass media is really asking.

Bastardized media, bastardized role players, it is symbiotic.

To the corporate bean counters it is like having cast Pee Wee Herman as the lead role in a major tragic-comic movie but having to settle for Herman Caine because Pee Wee could not put away his Pee Pee. The movie will not be the same, the profit prospects are severely diminished.

In truth felonious Governor Perry should be resigning, resigning in well deserved shame, and the mass media reflecting on an indicted felon as governor, not deflecting.
