Name That Party - Birmingham Mayor Arrested

[red states rule]

The Mayor Of Birmingham Al has been arrested on Federal charges - but for some reason the liberal media is ignoring the fact he is a Democrat in their coverage

I wonder why this always happens when a Dem is arrested? Yet when a Republican is busted, his party affilation is in the first paragraph

Birmingham Mayor Larry Langford was arrested this morning on federal charges and is being held at the federal courthouse, the FBI and other federal officials confirm.

A special grand jury for several months has been investigating county bond deals and Langford's financial dealings. Langford was Jefferson County Commission president 2002-06.

Al LaPierre, a close friend of Langford's who also was part of the federal investigation, will be surrendering today, said his attorney, Tommy Spina.

Could not agree with you more. The point of the thread is the liberal media seldom mentions party affiliation when a Democrat gets caught with his/her hand in the cookie jar
