Sometimes you have to laugh to keep from crying. Brian Williams on ABC for instance said he wasn't covering the Weiner story because he had more pressing and urgent stories present. Which included a lengthy segment on Sarah Palin and Paul Revere.
Seriously, Jillian is right that what Anthony Weiner does in private that isn't illegal is his business and should not figure into the body politic. Once the story broke however, knowing that a U.S. Congressman was taking that kind of risks not as a private citizen but as a U.S. Congressman, and then the lies and willingness to accuse a private citizen knowing that person was dishonestly accused. . . .
I'm sorry but I think most normal people would have to question Congressman Weiner's judgment, honesty, and ethics. We can and should hold our elected leader to higher standards than most because their judgment, honesty, and ethics has far more implications and consequences than exists for most of us.
