Here we go again folks. Today, yet another public figure stood before us with a teary eyed apology. Sorry to the people, the country, the wife blah, blah, blah.
It is a well-known fact that politicians lie. ALL of them! That’s what politics is all about. So what makes it so different when they lie about their sex life?
Scripted apologies don't really mean much to me anymore. After all the many men (mostly Republican, count em folks) who have gone before, there are surely enough examples out there to prove that EVENTUALLY you will get caught. So why go there in the first place? I guess it's all biological or physiological or has something to do with the inability of a powerful man to keep his….
I guess I gave him too much credit. I thought Congressman Weiner was a much smarter fellow than this and I believed his story the other day when he said that he had been hacked - although I did find his excuse a bit feeble. So, today I am somewhat disappointed (but, at least he wasn’t one of those cheating two faced politicians who preached family values and pretended to be a saint)
Does it change the way I feel about his ability to do his job?
Uh, not really.
In France this would be a non-story!
That being said, let’s move on to more pressing issues like the economy, stupid - and how bout we focus on going after the real criminals, The Wall Street shysters and the lying bankster thugs!
I'm Just Sayin!

left or right repub or democrat- Human beings do stupid things when hormones serge (men AND women). The boundaries for that stupidity should be ethical and legal (Kahn recently broke it, Spitzer "might" have, Weiner has not!). Lets remember that the press was duplicitly silent about hormone stupidity prior to the social-networking age- therefore we know little of the thousands of the horny distractions of elected officials. The (legal) sexual actions of these people are the private agreement(or non-agreement) between themselves and their spouses [full stop]however sordid the "moral" electorate may think. The level of honesty regarding sex in usa is extremely low and frankly immature (regardless of the in your face "selling" of sex at every opportunity with products- which includes "press")- I am ready to join the Weiner FAN club, his directness is admirable on every front- He has retaken the dignity of his marriage (and if his wife chooses some of her own indiscretions- it will be her right to do so without loss of dignity to anyone). The press has been irresponsible for years 9in their dishonesty)- this is THEIR distraction. If we are HONEST (and listen to the medical scientific community) we must recognize that Testosterone (when it serges) fosters some stupidity (I am NOT endorsing "crimes" of passion, rape, abduction etc.btw) and though it is politically incorrect to mention it- "estrogen" (*when it serges) affects the other gender. It's HUMAN, it's real. it's normal [again, NO "crimes" allowed)- for heterosexuals the fun and the trick is to groove correctly at the SAME time (and as time goes by in relationships)
