Atrios hits my question put off by a day of meetings yesterday, but could someone explain the differing reactions to the two of them?
There does appear to be one possible reason beside hypocrisy that people treat the two cases so differently—Geraldo is such a bleeping idiot, people expected it out of him.
And Bunning wants to try Arnett for treason. I would think that US Senators would disapprove of a law that equated stupid utterances with treason for obvious reasons.
