Refusing to shine their shoes

Chicago Senator "little dick" Durbin wants a law that would protect the free speech of his lackies in the media, but not citizen journalists like bloggers and tweeters. Michael Walsh describes it this way:

They say that every man is a hero to his dog, but that no man is a hero to his valet. For decades, Democrat politicians have endeavored to reconcile those two opposites, by turning their valets in the media into their dogs. How well they’ve succeeded is in print and on the air for all to see and hear. How it galls them that just as they’ve finally seduced the Legacy Media, along comes this grubby upstart, pissing on their shoes and then refusing to shine them.
