While the slightest Republican critique of a Democrat is decried as the greatest threat to democracy since I-don't-know-what, stuff like the following just gets laughed off:

Speaking before Clinton, Gov. Steve Beshear had some fighting words of his own. He tied the plight of the national Democrats to local ones, having reclaimed the office from a Republican incumbent last year. He said Democrats were "problem solvers."

"I can think of only one Republican that could be a problem solver," he added. "And that is Vice President Cheney, if he would just take George on a hunting trip."

I won't hold my breath waiting for denunciations of so despicable a comment. But of course, if a Republican said something like this about a pair of Democrats, you could just imagine the outrage and fury.
