Gerry Studds is also not criticized by the current Democratic leadership.

The same can be said of Democrats who smear the entire Republican party as a "culture of corruption" for their dealings with Abramoff, while ignoring that about a third of Abramoff's payola went to Democrats. And the way Democrats similarly are dismissive of financial indiscretions of Sen. Harry Reid and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, among other Democrats in the current leadership.
Time and again, Democrats excuse their own, while demonizing not just the guilty Republicans, but misrepresentatively smearing all Republicans. Even when Democrats (like Studds) have more flagrantly violated the law. Without losing Democrat support. And still getting re-elected by their Democratic base.
