In Which I Get It Interestingly Wrong

By Armed Liberal on October 18, 2010 1:06 AM

Both of these are at about the same point in the development of the story:

Memeorandum October 14, 2:35pm

Memeorandum October 17, 4:35pm

I made a mistake when I wrote that "If a whiteboy GOP staffer made a comment like that, I'm thinking the gay community would be out for blood."

It turns out that the gay community (relatively speaking) went after Jarrett. But notice how much more the mainstream went after Buck. To be sure, Jarrett apologized profusely to the guy covering the gay beat for the Washington Post, while Buck dug in.

But it's interesting nonetheless, no? What does it say about the attention of the media, and about the relations between the Administration and the gay community?
