I am betting this (Robertson Calls for Chavez's Assassination) will get muchisimo ink and airtime in the MSM because it follows the MSM's favored script (religious right nutjob makes an outrageous statement). Does Robertson speak for the administration or even for the Republican Party? No, but it will not matter. This story will be played as if it was made by a senior member of the administration.
UPDATE: The MRC notes the same phenomenon on its NewsBusters blog.
UPDATE: Is this really necessary (U.S. Dodges Robertson Comments on Chavez)? Are Democrat leaders forced to "dodge" any of the loony comments or actions by Rev. Jackson?
