Good for the goose, errr, good for the goose.

(updated below) (updated again)

That's apparently Putz's rule on Supreme Court Justices/death jokes. Because he completely ignored Ann Coulter's suggestion that John Paul Stevens be poisoned, and he also let slide Pat Robertson's nationally televised prayer that God smite liberal Justices.

But the ever-powerful Wonkette makes a joke about John Roberts and he's all over it.

Just another day at the office for the nonpartisan!

UPDATE
You'll notice in comments I've had some fun with Patterico. Predictably, like Putz, he never noticed when conservative leader Pat Robertson told his all-Republican flock to pray for dead liberal judges. But Patterico did, to his credit (unlike Putz), denounce Coulter. And unlike Putz, he deserves some credit for that.

But here's the point, and here's the problem with his post: I wouldn't have jumped on Patterico at all had he not referred to Wonkette as a "prominent lefty blog." On what planet? In doing so, he's trying to use the Wonkette joke to make a larger point about the left, as this comment on his blog sums up nicely:

Lefties really rejoice over death, don’t they? Terri Schiavo, Dick Cheney’s close calls, unborn babies…… they are truly the authors of the culture of death and depression.

So the pattern here is:

Prominent conservative leader calls for the death of SCOTUS judges on national television.
Crickets.
Relatively obscure gadfly nonpartisan blogger makes a 2 line joke on his blog about John Roberts.
The left is corrupt and loves death.

The nonpartisan Putz, of course, is guilty of a hypocritical double-standard here. Nothing new. But Patterico's problem is he couldn't just denounce Wonkette's post, he had to make it about "the left."

And I call bullshit.

UPDATE 2

Patterico, obviously flustered, is now weirdly demanding I produce evidence of Greenwald denouncing...someone:

Blue Texan (isn’t he a guest blogger for Greenwald?) hasn’t come up with that example of Greenwald denouncing lefty hate speech yet.

Anyone care to place bets on whether he will?

My guess: he will either disappear, or return with more irrelevant bluster — but no examples.

If I’m wrong, I’ll be shocked. Truly shocked.

But I’m not wrong.

Run, Blue Texan! Run like the wind!!

This would be known as changing the subject.
