Scrappy Conservatives

Is it me, or does the media's recent coverage of Jack Murtha's history of corruption stand in sharp contrast to the lack of such coverage back when the media was celebrating him as the leader of the anti-war left? I find it very revealing that it took an internecine power struggle among Democrats in order to get the mainstream media to remind the public of Murtha's involvement in Abscam. Do you think if he where a Republican this would happen.
