Ed Morrissey: “I recall a time when Democrats regularly lionized whistleblowers … during the Bush administration, of course. “

Now not so much


These days, in the Obama era, Democrats and the media seem a lot less admiring of whistleblowers, oddly enough.

Darrell Issa want answers as to why two Operation Fast and Furious whistleblowers got assigned to work for a man who said exactly that about them:.

Yea, neither can I.

Ed asks the questions all inquiring minds want to know…

So when will the media fall back in love with whistleblowers?


and the answer is…

I’ll go out on a limb and predict it will be when a Republican gets elected President. May that day come soon.


That’s a pretty damn safe limb to go out on in my opinion.
