This cracks me up....

   ....Only our media could [1]come up with this convoluted explanation
   for the lack of coverage of an important story.

     The Department of Justice is investigating whether Rep. Jane Harman
     and the pro-Israel group worked together to get her reappointed as
     the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee
     Did a Democratic member of Congress improperly enlist the support
     of a major pro-Israel lobbying group to try to win a top committee
     assignment? That's the question at the heart of an ongoing
     investigation by the FBI and Justice Department prosecutors, who
     are examining whether Rep. Jane Harman of California and the
     American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) may have violated
     the law in a scheme to get Harman reappointed as the top Democrat
     on the House intelligence committee, according to knowledgeable
     sources in and out of the U.S. government.
     The sources tell TIME that the investigation by Justice and the
     Federal Bureau of Investigation, which has simmered out of sight
     since about the middle of last year, is examining whether Harman
     and AIPAC arranged for wealthy supporters to lobby House Democratic
     leader Nancy Pelosi on Harman's behalf. Harman said Thursday in a
     voicemail message that any investigation of â or allegation of
     improper conduct by â her would be "irresponsible, laughable and
     scurrilous."

   Well, whatever do you think the reason could be for this story
   simmering out of sight? The media trumpets a most important state
   secrets on the front page and the lead story on the evening news, but
   this li'l ol' secret was back there simmerin' the whole time.
   My oh my, how ever could that have happened???
