The difference between Liberals and Conservatives...
...is that when a Liberal does something stupid, mean or evil, (like Weiner or Edwards) other Liberals cringe, hope no one notices, and try to look the other way until the whole affair blows over.
When a Conservative steps on his dick, other Conservatives, make excuses,
blame the Liberals, or whine about how "the other side started it".
Or they patronizingly and condescendingly try to explain to us why it wasn't really stupid, mean or evil.
