A reader writes to offer a theory of why the media is treating
Bristol Palin's baby daddy with kid gloves:
[A]ll the wimpy liberals in the media who would
normally excoriate this type of jerk (because he is the kind who
used to beat them up behind the middle school gym) are instead
giving him a pass because he created a nice scandal for
them.
I suspect, however, that if the backlash against the media helps
elect a Republican, Daily Kos will be fueling conspiracy theories
that Levi Johnston is a right-wing provocateur trained by Karl
Rove.
