Fraud in Iraq, silence among conservatives

I've previously commented on the allegedly fraudulent results of the recent Iraqi election -- see here and here.

Now Jazz at Running Scared (a highly recommended blog) is noting that the right-wing blogosphere, which was remarking rather self-righteously that its left-wing counterparts weren't covering that election with nearly enough enthusiasm (if they were covering it at all, the spin went), has been remarkably silent on these allegations of fraud.

How true. But, then, who ever thought the right-wing blogosphere was fair and balanced? Who ever thought it was anything other than a regurgitational mouthpiece of Republican partisanship? The Miers nomination may have exposed the cracks, but such partisanship trumps principle almost each and every time.
