Reply #5: and whatever happened to Katrina Leung? [View All]

For those not familiar with this case:

Poor Katrina Leung. If only she had given her FBI-earned money to Democrats, her bright smile would be appearing on newspaper front pages day after day, and Republicans would make sure every one in the country knew how to pronounce her name.

She wouldn’t be known as, simply, a “political fundraiser”; she’d have the more dignified title of “major Democratic Party donor and spy.” Republican attack dogs in Congress would already be conducting full-scale investigations. A special prosecutor would be called for. She would be vilified by Rush Limbaugh as a spy for the Democratic Party, which he would accuse of siding with the enemy. Bill O'Reilly would denounce her and the Democrats. Regnery Press would already have two books out railing about how she and the Democrats have committed treason against America. Ann Coulter would be calling for the chairman of the DNC to be put before a firing squad.

But Katrina Leung is unlucky in the celebrity category. She allegedly was a spy who loved the Republican Party too much. In news stories, Leung has been labeled as a "prominent Republican fundraiser" and "Republican activist." So the Republican scandal attack machine is silent, because she is one of them, after all.

The accused Chinese double agent and her husband decided to give thousands -- $27,000 in fact (by one account), since 1992 -- to the GOP.

For all of Sandy berger's misdemeanors, he never passed classified documents to a foreign government.

When a prominent GOP fundraiser DOES commit espionage, the punishment is.... nothing?
