Baltimore Mayor Sheila Dixon was convicted Tuesday of “misappropriation by a fiduciary.” That means the classy lady ripped off money meant for poor people.

Of course, we all know that if Dixon had been a Republican the story’s headline would have been “Republican mayor convicted of theft.” But she’s a Democrat. So the liberal media either buries that fact or completely ignores it.

The Associated Press – to its credit – mentioned it in the second paragraph of its story, but other coverage was spotty at best.

For example, ABC2news.com didn’t bother to mention Mayor Dixon’s party affiliation in its 10-paragraph story.

The New York Times finally got around to mentioning it in the 12th paragraph.

WBAL-TV mentioned it in the 22nd paragraph.

NPR’s story didn’t mention Dixon’s party affiliation.

The Baltimore Business Journal didn’t mention it at all.

And neither did NBCwashington.com.

We’re just sayin’.

Robin Hood in reverse: Baltimore mayor steals from the poor, gives to herself

In the time-honored bait-and-switch tradition of the Democrat party, Baltimore’s Mayor Sheila Dixon is on trial for using holiday gift cards that were donated to the needy for her own personal shopping sprees.

Perhaps Sheila Dixon could use some of those gift cards to buy a dress that doesn't look like your grandmother's sofa

In the time-honored bait-and-switch tradition of the Democrat party, Baltimore’s Mayor Sheila Dixon is on trial for using holiday gift cards that were donated to the needy for her own personal shopping sprees.

“Dixon, 55, will put her political future in the hands of a jury Monday, when her trial on theft charges begins. She’s accused of asking wealthy developer pals to donate gift cards worth thousands of dollars, saying they would be given to poor families — then using them to buy electronics at Best Buy, clothes at Old Navy and knickknacks at Target. If convicted, she would be tossed out of office.”

Dixon, often called a “classic” Democrat, also faces perjury charges. Turns out she didn’t report gifts from her ex-boyfriend, a real estate developer who got tax breaks from the city.

Dixon, whose salary is $151,700, has assembled a high-priced team of seven attorneys. She refuses to say how she’s able to pay her exorbitant legal bills, but it’s rumored that she shopped around for attorneys who would accept Target gift cards in lieu of cash.

Dixon, said to be in need of a new Winter wardrobe and a home entertainment center, has stated she won’t let these allegations interfere with her fund raising efforts for the poor.

Me(d)ia (d)eclines to i(d)entify (d)emocrat scan(d)als

elephant_donkeyLamar Smith, ranking member of the House Judiciary Committee, strode purposely to the floor of the House of Representatives yesterday to discuss the elephant in the room. And the donkey that isn’t.

“The national media spells scandal without the ‘D,'” Smith roared during the one-minute daily speech allotted every member of the House.

“Two weeks ago the Governor of Illinois was removed from office,” he said. “All three television networks ran full reports on the story the same night and again the following morning. Not one report mentioned that he is a Democrat.”

To reinforce his point, Smith noted that the major media also failed to identify the party affiliation of troubled Baltimore Mayor Sheila Dixon, jailed Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick, and ousted New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer.

“Americans need and deserve balanced reporting from the media, not selective omissions,” Smith added.

We completely agree with Smith. So let us point out to you that he is a Texas Republican.
