Perry out, relentless scrutiny of Willard in.

Now it’s looking like a media witchhunt, along the lines of the power the fourth estate exercised when it deemed Hillary Rodham Clinton no match for the megastory that was B. Hussein Obama in 2008. Marriott Corporation, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (a k a LDS Church Inc.), the Cayman Islands, the Betting Against America, it’s all coming out now.

Ten-thousand-dollar bet, plus $375,000 being “not that much”. Whose narrative and development seem more American, Hussein’s or Willard’s?

We report, you can decide.
