I don't always like her column, but when she's good, she's good:

I'm still mystified by this story. I was rejected for a White House press pass at the start of the Bush administration, but someone with an alias, a tax evasion problem and Internet pictures where he posed like the 'Barberini Faun' is credentialed to cover a White House that won a second term by mining homophobia and preaching family values?

At first when I tried to complain about not getting my pass renewed, even though I'd been covering presidents and first ladies since 1986, no one called me back. Finally, when Mr. McClellan replaced Ari Fleischer, he said he'd renew the pass - after a new Secret Service background check that would last several months.

Can you imagine the attention this would be getting if Clinton were president? Obviously, I don't care if he's gay, and I don't care about what he does in his private life, on the Internet, or in the White House for that matter -- but the hypocrisy is rank.

GC UPDATE: Jon Stewart tackled this issue on the Daily Show last night. Watch through to the end or you'll miss Stephen Colbert's single funniest report ever.
