The Infamous Lincoln Bedroom

Crooked Timber notes that while USA Today announced that Mr. Bush is actually exceeding the Clinton's much-publicized in the mainstream media practice of extending invitations to big donors to stay in the Lincoln Bedroom (a point that had the GOP peeing all over themselves on page 1 at least one day every week of the administration), they buried it on page 17 when Clinton's always made page 1.

Meanwhile, the crew at Atrios notes that, unlike the Lewinsky scandal with Clinton that was page 1 every day in the press when they weren't discussing the Lincoln Bedroom, the Washington Post put the story of the Downing Street memo, the smoking gun about the cooked war, on page 18, after Marmaduke, the cartoon.
